Here are some recent comments Carell made about the movie:

"They're developing right now, and they are in the process of writing the script so it's somewhere down the road. Right now, the approach is modern day. The basic premise is that both CONTROL and KAOS have fallen on hard times and are not being funded by the government. They're not getting the same kind of funding as (the) CIA. They have one last mission to try to get back on top…it's not retro at all."

I'm just glad as hell that Will Ferrell isn't doing this one, as he was the guy originally attached. I could do with less of his starring roles, quite honestly. Besides, he would have been so off as this character. Carell is a really good fit I think.

Holy crap, Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart?

I can't even words make seee.....ble...wha.......

That is like having Vanilla Ice put on and Elvis Presley concert, Don Adams was born to be Max, Carell is some flippin' flavor of the week, this is beyond dumb.

Flavor of the week who's done lots of great work in the past decade, versus 82 year old man.
