Mel and Buck made right
Last Wednesday I posted claims from two well-placed sources claiming that Warner Bros. attorneys were trying to keep original Get Smart creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry from receiving fair compensation fees from the film version. But yesterday AICN's Harry Knowles reported that "ink went to paper and cash went to banks and Brooks and Henry have been officially signed on as creative consultants on the Get Smart movie with Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway. In fact, Carrell has already shot one joke scene that Mel Brooks wrote for his character in this film. With more to come, apparently from both Mel and Buck."

The most pointless post ever? Really give a fuck about rich guys getting richer.

Steve Carell must have the most misspelled name in Hollywood. It's even worse than when Mikhail Baryshnikov made White Nights.

Buck Henry should write the script.

"Buck Henry should write the script." No disrespect to the elderly, but the great Buck Henry is now 76 years old, and I think it's fair to say his entire professional career has been unofficially over for years. His last screenplay credit was for 2001's Warren Beatty mega-fiasco, "Town and Country." And I'm sure there are still a lot of people who only really iknow him from his classic hosting gigs on SNL - but the last one of those was way back in 1978.
Not to mention that he was involved in all of the ghastly "Get Smart" reincarnations, like "The Nude Bomb" and the Andy Dick disaster.

Why the hell is Hathaway in this? I would have assumed that she was deluged with good scripts after the success of Devil Wears Prada. Maybe she's playing it safe and is aiming for a broad hit. And there's no way that I could stomach an onscreen romance between herself and Carrel. It would be almost as stomach churning as Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson sucking face in "As Good As It Gets".
