Marvel Studios has signed a three-year deal with Raleigh Manhattan Beach Studios to shoot Iron Man 2, Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America and The Avengers at the Southern California facility’s soundstages. But hopefully it’s only the interiors of the latter two movies that will be filmed there. Despite my support for Hollywood productions to shoot locally in the Los Angeles area, particularly in these hard economic times, The Avengers better be set in New York City or else feature a team led by Hawkeye.

Their projects are expected to flourish with "this strong base of friendships," according to Carell, which is a nice way of saying "me and my friends are gonna hang out and drive your golf carts, suckahs!"

Do you miss Maxwell Smart? In case you do, here’s some good news for you: Warner Bros. is working on a potential sequel to Peter Segal’s action comedy “Get Smart,” according to Variety.

'Get Smart' Sequel on the Way, Along with More Steve Carell Goodness

... is funny. His improvised dance with a bewildered-but-willing overweight partygoer is one of this year's comic highlights -- a perfect blend of good-natured mockery and non sequitur. So the official announcement of the inevitable sequel strikes me as a good thing. I doubt they'll ever come up with any sort of finely tuned masterwork, but I figure it's guaranteed to have a bunch of great moments. Big budget comedies are often so dire that "uneven with flashes of inspiration" is music to my ears. ...

Steve Carell inks deal with WB
TV Squad —
Filed under: Industry, The Office, Celebrities, Reality-FreeThe Office star Steve Carell has inked a first-look deal with the WB. My guess is this was done to sweeten the pot for Carell to appear in a sequel for Get Smart. Talk about being the "it" man for comedy nowadays. He's in one of television's most successful comedies and is one of the top-tier comedy movie stars. He's even slated to co-star with another television icon, Tina Fey, in an upcoming movie called Date Night. Carell is so humble about his celebrity, he's even willing to take a ribbing from the ...
