John Mulaney Teases His ‘Get Smart’ Reboot: “My Favorite Type of Person to Play”
John Mulaney says he is drawn to a planned *Get Smart* reboot because its lead is a highly confident spy who is not always well informed. The comedian is in talks to lead the Warner Bros. reimagining, which is in early development.
Seth Grahame-Smith is writing the screenplay, with Charles Roven and Andrew Lazar producing. The original 1960s series starred Don Adams as Maxwell Smart; a 2008 film starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and Dwayne Johnson earned $230 million worldwide. Mulaney is also appearing as Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins in the John Madden biopic *Madden*.
In short
- Mulaney is in talks to lead a *Get Smart* reboot.
- He says the confident but uninformed spy suits him.
- The 2008 film adaptation earned $230 million worldwide.
