Steve Carell knows how to use a shoe phone.
Not only did he grow up watching “Get Smart,” but he’s made calls
with the device as secret agent Maxwell Smart in the movie remake of the 1960s
TV show.
Carell told a crowd of Comic-Con fans Friday that he’s “very
psyched” about the film, which he described as a “comedic `Bourne
Identity.”’
“It’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had doing anything in my
life,” said the 43-year-old actor. “I have such respect for Don Adams
and what he did, and I think we’re all trying to honor the original and take
absolutely nothing away from it.
“Frankly, I don’t think I could ever be as good as he was. I’m just trying
to do the best that I can within the context of the movie and it’s an honor to
be able to do it.”
The film, due next summer, retains the feel of the original TV show, said
director Peter Segal.

: “The Devil Wears Prada” star Anne Hathaway’s new movie role is the subject of a makeover, and not just in the style sense. Hathaway is recreating the part of Agent 99 in the new feature film “Get Smart,” based on the 1960’s spy comedy series. interviews director Peter Segal about changes that have been made to update the storyline to more present-day themes, and Hathaway’s character reportedly underwent a major overhaul: “In the TV show, she was the woman who stood firmly behind her man,” he reportedly says, “but that’s a little dated for today. 99 is a little more kick-(butt) and tougher, more emancipated. She’s more the female James Bond, teaching [Steve Carell’s ‘Maxwell Smart’] the ropes.”
