RUMOUR - BILL MURRAY TO HAVE A CAMEO ROLE AS AGENT 13
August 6th 2007 01:53
There are rumours that Bill Murray will play a cameo role in the film version of the classic television series Get Smart, an adaptation of Mel Brooks' hit 1960s spy parody show.
Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to foil the latest plot for world domination by the wicked crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents jeopardised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his super-eager yet somewhat inept analyst Maxwell Smart for the job. Smart has always dreamt of working alongside the robust superstar Agent 23, (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) so is delighted that his dream is coming true.
Unfortunately his dream is not coming true, instead Smart finds himself partnered with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the beautiful-but-dangerous veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unravelling KAOS' master plan, they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are cunningly aiming to cash in with their network of terror. Smart is given little field experience and even less time, as well as being armed only with a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm, he must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.
From the looks of the trailer, the film has retained its over-zealous humour and excited antics. I’m normally not that keen on film versions of television programs but this one looks like it has potential as the trailer made me smile and that’s a good start.

I couldn't find any more info on the rumour so I can't shed any further light I'm afraid, we'll just have to wait.....

Its yet another TV show made into a movie that will be enjoyable enough for a couple of hours, people forget about it until it come out on dvd. Then you forget about it again in the same way that I've just forgot what point I was trying to make. I hope I made my point whatever it was in that text up there.......Where the heck was I again!

I see what you mean. I think it's always a risk to take a sucessful telly series and make a film. I thought the trailer had potential though.
But, it wouldn't be a film I'd see at the cinema, I would definitely wait for the DVD.
Thanks for your comments,
