Would You Believe...?? Of Course You Would...Warners Is Spinning Up A GET SMART Sequel!!
Merrick here...
The Powers That Be have been clear that sequel to Steve Carell's GET SMART movie was feasible. Now, it seems, the project is one step closer to inevitable.
An almost throwaway reference to another Carell-driven GET SMART movie comes from a Variety piece about Carell's new three year, first-look deal with Warners.
The studio is mobilizing a sequel for Carell to return as Maxwell Smart.
...says THIS VARIETY ARTICLE, which also indicated the SAMRT sequel exists outside of Carell's arrangement with the studio.
Let the titling begin!

i enjoyed it and forgot about it in one go.... a sequel wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.
-
As in, PAY to GO see it?
-
They missed it by that much last time...and given how sequels generally go, I find it hard to believe they'll come even that close this time around...
-
It wasn't cringe-worthy like I thought it would be.
-
look hot and steve carrel to act like michael scott. it was worth it.
-
I am so smart, S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T.

SPREAD THE WORD! -
The Getter the Smarterer
hmm ... maybe they can make it better -
Get Smart With a Vengeance? G2: Judgment Day, Attack of the Cones(of Silence)? The Two Austin Powers, etc. Shit writes itself.
-
heh? you know you want it
-
...to the point of deformity. It's hypnotic and almost disturbing.
-
But I plan on marrying Anne Hathaway.
-
Nailed it.
-
last week on a transcontinental flight... I'm not a big Carrell fan or a big fan of the OS, but I have to say I really found myself laughing out loud at a lot of the movie. In reality, I liked it so much I took the wife and kiddos to see it in the dollar theatre this past weekend as well.
I though Anne did a nice job playing an older character and looked HOT in the evening gown!
Haters can protest, but I even liked the Rock's performance. I'm sad it ended the way it did because he'd be enjoyable to see again in a supporting roll. -
Get Smart with a Vengeance.
-
I would see a sequel. Plus how can you not like Anne Hathaway she is so adorable.
-
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
You spelled SMART "SAMRT". :P
-
And they barely used the very underrated and hilarious Terry Crews in it. TO ME, It felt like they used his character just so it had a black character in the movie.
-
..to be reinvisioned yet? A whole new cast, a whole new direction?
Hollywood, you're killing me... -
Carrell is going to be contractually obligated to be in a horseshit dopey comedy. Ladies & gentleman, we have a new Tim Allen.
-
I enjoyed it. I don't think I'd rush out to a second one, though.
-
I do like Carrell, but he isn't as funny as people make out he is.
-
then snuck into get smart to see anne hathaway...so worth it
-
It wasn't earth shattering, but a fun little movie. There's only one typical AICN "It was shitty shit" post so far, which surprises me.
-
I enjoyed it as much as the Beslan School Siege. Get my drift. It was horrendous.

KAOS Strikes BackGet Smart: Max Rising99 69The CONTROL Chronicles
-
Could be worse, fella. We could have a new Mike Myers!If only everyone found ol' Mike as hilarious as he undoubtedly find himself, eh?
-
According to Merrick's typo...
-
Was better.
-
hey it works for Tr2n damn it!!
-
This only works IF they DON'T do what Scooby Doo and Charlie's Angels did by making the sequel take itself too seriously.
Both of the originals were an homage to the original series.. Almost spoofs in many ways.
But in the sequels, even though there are reference points to the original series, the movies tried to come off as bigger and badder.
While no one wants to see exactly the same thing, you can't lose the original intent of the first movie. Sorry this sounds confusing.. I'll shut up now... -
regrets getting killed off in the first one? Now he's stuck being Disney's bitch!
-
In the Indiana Jones tradition.
-
no one I know actually bothered to got to the cinema and see the first one.
-
This movie sucked hard.
-
word.
-
the could turn it into a public information film warning cinema goers on the dangers of hollywoods lazy production machine
-
wow, bro. C-
-
Ok I think I am done now.
-
(I knew that meme would return one day.)
-
screw you guys, im going to bed

Oops... that would now be episode V. Episode II would be "Get Smart of the Clones"
-
Get 86'ed
-
Rub some on your head, then.
-
He's a real fart smeller.
-
The horror!
-
...starring Tony Clifton
-
...and fly right.
-
Steve Carrel acts the exact same way no matter what movie he's in, I was done with him a long time ago. Anne Hathaway is pretty much the only thing that made the first one watchable.
-
Shop S Mart.
-
I'm not as think as you dumb I am.
-
"Her sister is such a bitch." cried laughing.
-
right im off.

Pretty funny
-
Both films shouldn't have the name attached of a series that has nothing to do with them. At least Get Smart had some actors enjoying themselves though.
-
She's a popular, young, brunette actress. I'm not saying she's at all like Hepburn, but I can see how they'd try to market her that way.

Loved the show, and yeah, I liked the movie. Bring it on.
by flickchick85
However, why the hell did they fast-forward the Max and 99 relationship? I mean, they practically got married and rode off into the sunset. All they needed for a satisfying happy ending was to have them as permanent partners (and happy about it), maybe just hinting at a future romance. That whole montage where 99 realizes she's in love with Max when thinking he was dead was where the movie went off the rails.
-
it's too bad you're gonna be banned momentarily. I would have loved to debate with you the nonexistent merits of that stupid ass moneygrab of a "movie"...

Stop being so serious. Get Smart was quite entertaining.
by the founder
Their was nothing wrong with Get Smart. I thought it was one of the few if any of the old tv shows turned movie that worked. I don't remember a lot of the old shows but the Carell driven movie was an entertainig comedy and it was modernized and again it worked. If guess if you're not a fan of Carell then you wouldn't like the movie, but i'm all up for a sequel.
-
Especially the part lampooning the president when he read to the grade school children, and the one sitting next to him says, "You suck as worse as my kindergarten teacher." Thus, the secret service agent moves him away. :)
I still have yet to see the side-story "Harry and Lloyd: Outta Control!" -
guess I'm not banned yet, huh? "moneygrab"?? are you fucking stupid? you can officially download the whole movie free, so how is it a money grab exactly?
-
strip her clothes away.
Box office gold. -
"Get Smart" was the shittiest movie I've seen in a long time. No wonder Barbara Feldon didn't make an appearance. The lady has taste. This movie was a complete travesty of the original. Geez... you kids today have low expectations for a film.
-
They need to have ads showing Carell and co. with those milk mustaches. Also, the "Harry and Lloyd" DTV thingy, which is written by the same guys, is actually okay. Worth a rental if you liked GET SMART.
-
I don't get all the bitching about movies like this. It was EXACTLY what I expected it to be. People always act like movies like this are so disappointing, but what, do you think it's going to a masterpiece? A summer-remake vehicle for Steve Carell? If you're the kind of person that's going to bitch about movies like this, obviously you know what kind of movie you are going to see, so why would you see it in the first place? Oh, so you can come online and bitch about it. Sorry, I get it now. I don't get people who think every even slightly sub-par film is an abomination or the worst movie ever made. Instead of shelling out ten bucks to see something you're gonna hate, go watch Treasure of the Sierra Madre, or Charade, or something.
Is anybody else with me? Sick of all the bitching?
Actually, GET SAMRT would be an awesome title. -
the old ' leik pull out ther feengernails heh-heh-heh' trick.
-
Me too only more.
-
Without a sequel, we will not see any new Maxwell Smart.. ever. And even if we do, the odds of it being better than the one we got are thin. The truth is, Carell was born to fill Don Adams' shoes. *** Not grading on a curve, I found the movie affable. For an "action-comedy based on an old tv series" I found it fantastic. Compared to... I SPY? BEWITCHED? STARSKY AND HUTCH? GET SMART was the freakin' CITIZEN KANE of repackaged lukewarm tv to movie franchises. The cast was top notch. It was *pretty* funny. And I thought they did some interesting (if not exactly revolutionary) things in 'updating' Max and 99. *** I want to see a sequel. Steve Carell is a talented, likable, funny actor and I don't think we're likely to see a better vehicle for him.

SERIOUSLY

...missed it by THIS much (holding hands straight out from sides)!
