Sneak Peek: 'Get Smart'

We're at the Warner Bros. panel in Hall H this morning.

We just watched a ridiculous trailer for "Get Smart." Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) looks like a cross between Eva Green and Kate Beckinsale in the film, and it looks like she's doing some sick stunt work too.

At one point in the clip we just saw, she says: "I don't want work with Max; he has no experience." Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) deadpans: "Well, that is a kick in the ... !" (You get the idea.)

The trailer closed to thunderous applause that was topped only by the fan insanity that followed when Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson (who plays Agent 23) and Carell appeared onstage.

Asked to compare the new film to the 1960s TV series, director Peter Segal said: "We're just that other car in the garage beside the classic Corvette."

Carell joked that Segal never wore pants or underwear on the set. Apparently, the tone of "Get Smart" is "Bourne Supremacy: The Comedy."

And Segal confirmed that the characters of Hymie the Robot and Agent 13 will be appearing in cameos.
