Have You Heard About 'Get Smart' ? 'Get Smart' Is a New Movie That May Have a Program and a Sneak Peak at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con International in July 2007! This is from the SDCC Int'l Update issue #2 which has recently hit the comic book stores and those subscribers on their mailing list. Get Smart has started shooting in February of this year. The film is scheduled to be released June 20th of 2008. The film will feature Steve Carrell as Maxwell Smart, and Anne Hathaway as Agent 99. Alan Arkin will play the Chief ! For those that are new to what 'Get Smart' will be / or was: Get Smart Has been a TV Show... and a Theatrical Movie.... and a Toy Line.... Originally 'Get Smart' was an American comedy television series. It satirized the then popular secret agent genre that was started by the James Bond novels and movies. The 'Get Smart' TV show ran on the NBC television network from 1965 to 1969, and then on CBS from 1969 to 1970, airing a total of 138 different episodes! It was such a hit that it was my high school English Teacher who requested my class to watch the show... which my folks didn't really believe was part of my high school 'homework' !! The TV series, which was written and created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, won seven Emmy Awards and was also nominated for an additional fourteen Emmys and two Golden Globe Awards during its' long TV run. Dell Comics published a comic book series for eight issues during 1966 and 1967, some of which were drawn by Steve Ditko, co-creator of the Amazing Spider-Man! In 1980 the theatrically released 'The Nude Bomb' (also known as The Return of Maxwell Smart or Maxwell Smart and the Nude Bomb) was popular. Later the made-for-TV movie 'Get Smart, Again!' was shown in 1989 on the ABC network. However, ABC lost out on a short lived 1995 weekly series when the FOX TV network aired 'Get Smart' with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon reprising their characters, as their bumbling son, Zach (Andy Dick), becomes CONTROL's new star agent. As a historical footnote....with the final revival series on Fox, 'Get Smart' became the first television franchise to air new episodes on all of the current four major American television networks, NBC,CBS, ABC and then FOX!
