Warner Bros. is close to setting Anne Hathaway to star alongside Steve Carell in "Get Smart," the feature adaptation of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry's sitcom creation. Peter Segal is directing.

Shooting will begin in March. Village Roadshow is co-financing.

Hathaway, who last starred in the summer sleeper "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Brokeback Mountain," will play the role originated on the small screen by Barbara Feldon.

Carell will play the Smart role originated by Don Adams.

Pic is produced by Mad Chance's Andrew Lazar and Mosaic Media Group's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner.

Tom Astle and Matt Ember ("Failure to Launch") wrote the most recent draft of the script.

Carell, who most recently wrapped the Tom Shadyac-directed Universal comedy "Evan Almighty," is currently starring for Disney in "Dan in Real Life." He returns to his NBC sitcom "The Office" in January and once he wraps the season, reports for "Get Smart" in March.
