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.”
