Alright ladies, bust out those mechanical pencils and dust off your textbooks; it’s finally time to Get Smart. The movie’s posters and trailers have been out for months, and while I’ve completely revved myself up for a good laugh, I’m still most excited about a heaping dose of one, Anne Hathaway.

As Agent 99, Hathaway is reprising Barbara Feldon’s role, and in an Associated Press interview, she gives credence to the gargantuan shoes she has to fill:

“She inspired so many women. When you look at the kind of women we aspire to be today, a lot of them are very similar to Barbara Feldon's 99. There's no way I'm going to be able to touch that kind of legacy, but I do think I have good chemistry with my co-star, so that's probably what I have in common with her.”

Hey, want to watch something silly? Sure you do; who doesn’t? Come on, it’s Friday; what else are you going to do — work? The new trailer for Get Smart was released this week, and it’s a veritable hodgepodge of silliness, courtesy Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway.

Ah, the simple, fail-safe humor of people running into walls. Works every single time. Anyone familiar with the original 1960s small-screen show should know the film’s premise already. The good agents of CONTROL are fighting the evil forces of KAOS.

Leading the good fight are Steve as the hapless Maxwell Smart and Anne as his cool, kicky partner Agent 99. Hmm, flip that first “9” around and this could be a whole different kind of movie. You know, sort of like this. … continue reading

I'm once again brain-dead on a Monday, so I thought I'd post some pretty posters.

Get Smart (Anne Hathaway) — She gets smarter in every version of the poster.

The Forbidden Kingdom — A Jackie Chan movie, but I'll be focused on these two.

Jolene — No, it's not based on the Dolly Parton song, sadly. No matter how much the poster may seem to suggest that. … continue reading

Cinematical published the first teaser poster for Get Smart this week, and Steve Carrell has gone undercover. Under very beautiful cover.

We should all be so lucky as to have Anne Hathaway's hair covering our faces. (Minds out of the gutter, people.) Carrell and Hathaway are playing Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, the roles originally played by Don Adams and Barbara Feldon. … continue reading
