"Get Smart" Preview & Trailer

I’m seriously geeked about this movie! Loved the original TV series, and I’m expecting great things from the movie (and so is my guest blogger, Elizabeth Kricfalusi). In other words, filmmaker-people, please don’t screw it up!

Here’s the scoop: When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell), who’s always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson).

More after the jump, including a trailer…

Instead, Smart is partnered with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS’ master plan—and each other—they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart—armed with nothing but a few spy gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm—must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.

Directed by Peter Segal, this movie is rated PG-13 for some rude humor, action violence and language. Opens in theaters tomorrow, June 20, 2008. Official Site
