This looks promising if they stay faithful to the series. If they try to modernize it with too many explosions and computer generated animation, they will disappoint the true fans of satire.
Oh, and Steve Carell... I wish he would take on a role where he would totally step out of his established routine, (I don't mean like Evan Almighty). I'd like to see him do something like a Peter Seller's character who appears on screen and you lose yourself in his portrayal rather than seeing that silly-ass grin all the time. He's going to continue to be typecast as a poor man's Jim Carrey if he doesn't do something more demanding.
