Beaver Carell

Perhaps the funniest Black List script from last year is Kyle Killen's The Beaver, about a chronic depressive whose life is taken over by his beaver hand puppet. It's said by two sources to be in Steve Carell's corner. That is, if the term "attached to" means anything. "But he's also attached to a great many things," one guy cautions. "I've heard they're readying the next Get Smart for his next hiatus. Carell also has a teaming with Tina Fey in the works, but it's pricey. He wants to spend time with family, so I've heard they're planning to shoot whatever his next feature is in Massachusetts to accommodate that."

The next Get Smart?

The Beaver sounds just like Lars and the Real Girl, no?

Get Smart 2 reeks of The Pink Panther 2. The first one was a hit, yes, but NOBODY was excited by it, or thinking they'd like to revisit it.

Was surprised how much I liked Get Smart. Laughed out loud quite a bit. Doubt a sequel will ever happen though. No way Anne Hathaway would return and she was one of the reasons the first one was a hit.

Get Smart 2, sadly, will def happen. They'll throw much deniro at both Steve and Anne. And they'll accept.

And I know this isn't the right thread for this, but at the risk of pulling a D.Z., here goes nothing:

I enjoyed Get Smart too ... surprisingly. It's crap, but when harmless crap is compared to steaming shit, I'll take the harmless crap. Anne was smokin' as well.

actionman: Now that you mention it, this does seem like the sort of POS sequel that De Niro might sign up for. Methinks it's not just coincidence that a mere vowel switch separates the name of a now mostly cash-it-in actor and Spanish for "money."

yes, Nick. it does.

I meant to type out "mucho denero" or however the hell you spell it out. but yes, DeNiro's standards have slipped of late. Big time.

Given that I just made a movie about a guy whose life relies on his alter ego sock puppet, this film sounds AMAZING.

How many more retarded sequels can Carrell's film career withstand? If i were him with his limited time available I'd focus mainly on new challenges and properties.
