It looks like Steve Carell will be using the shoe phone anew in Get Smart 2. We get the following sequel news thanks to our friends at comingsoon:
Variety reports that Warner Bros. Pictures is developing a sequel to Get Smart. Steve Carell would return to play Maxwell Smart.
The first film, also starring Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin and Terence Stamp, has earned $130 million domestically and $94 million internationally for a global total of $224 million. It cost about $80 million to make.
For some reason I never expected this film to have a sequel. I fully admit that this was stupid of me, most everything that makes money has a sequel; this is no different.
It wasn’t my task to review the original and still need to see it, but with such mixed reviews, I’m in no rush.
I am suspecting that the real reason for the sequel is simply because those involved like to hang out with Anne Hathaway. Thats as good a reason as any. They say that when she eats bananas on set, you can hear the boners wailing. Wailing like starving wolves at the moon.
