The Game Plan Poster: Exclusive First Look
Filed under: Comedy », Sports », Disney », Family Films », Hold the 'Fone », Images »
Before he was known for his acting chops -- or for crushing WWF wrestlers with his signature Rock Bottom move -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was pretty adept at crushing quarterbacks as a member of the 1991 NCAA champion Miami Hurricanes football team. This fall, he returns to the gridiron for the family-oriented Disney flick The Game Plan, about a superstar NFL QB who's forced to question his swingin' bachelor lifestyle -- and his pigskin career -- when he finds out he has a seven-year-old daughter. We have an exclusive first look at the poster below (click on the image for a larger version).
Oscar Winner Alan Arkin Joins Cast of 'Get Smart'
Filed under: Comedy », Casting », Warner Brothers », Newsstand »
With his best supporting actor win at the Academy Awards this past weekend, Alan Arkin has now found himself in hot demand -- but of course, he doesn't care. He's Alan. He seems like the kind of guy who's number one love in life is a hot pastrami on rye and a copy of the Sunday newspaper in his lap. And yet, his role as a perverted, drug-addicted grandpa in Little Miss Sunshine has catapulted this legendary actor back into the mainstream ... and back into a role opposite Steve Carell.
Warner Bros. has tapped Arkin to star in their big-screen version of Get Smart, alongside Carell (Maxwell Smart), Anne Hathaway (Agent 99), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Agent 23) and Terrence Stamp (who, I assume, will play the villain). Arkin will play the chief of CONTROL, a role Edward Platt once owned on the beloved TV series. For those not aware, CONTROL is an organization formed to fight the evil forces of KAOS. It's taken forever for this film to get off the ground, but it looks like we'll finally get a chance to check it during the already crowded summer of 2008; Get Smart is set to arrive in theaters on June 20.
