I just hate the roles where hes meant to be a complete idiot, and im hoping this isnt one of them.

Interesting, Dwayne Johnson has completely dropped The Rock from his name now (at least in this movie anyways)

Probably a good move is he really wants to be an actor. I can't image the words "And the oscar goes to ....... THE ROCK!" ever being spoken.

It's been dropped for a while now. Though, they'll sometimes bring up "The Rock" to promote the film.

In Gridiron Gang (the last movie I think he was in) he was Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in the credits. Now he's just Dwayne Johnson.
 
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.
 
too bad anne hathaway likes chicks. 🙁


actually, can't wait for when she hooks up with lindsay lohan and the sex tape hits the intertubes. 😀

I will be highly disappointed if the Cone of Silence doesn't appear in the film.

I am willing to sacrifice myself in that trap!
 
oh HELL YES. I loved this show when I was little (it was on reruns late at night). I can't wait!!! The casting is awesome!
 
Great casting. But the original Get Smart worked because of the writing. The movie is going to live or die based on how funny the script is. Carrell is not a guy who can make lame material funny.
