LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Peter Segal, the director of several Adam Sandler movies, will turn the classic TV spy spoof "Get Smart" into a feature. Steve Carell is attached to play hapless secret agent Maxwell Smart.

The series, which ran on NBC from 1965 to 1969 and then on CBS for one season, starred Don Adams as Smart, a.k.a. Agent 86, a spy for Control, fighting the evil forces of Kaos. Warner Bros.' big-screen version will contemporize the setting, with Control falling on hard times and not getting the big government funding other spy agencies, like the CIA, do.

Segal directed the Adam Sandler comedy hits "The Longest Yard," "50 First Dates" and "Anger Management." His other comedy credits include "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" and "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult." Carell was recently in theaters with "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."

A hapless director and a hapless actor might seem to somehow be a good match, but this sounds like more :blas: revisionism against the great talent and energy of the 60's.

Carell is comedic gold.

lol, GOLD I say!
