Summer Movies with The Office Cast

by LiRa

Catch Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and Jenna Fischer on the big screen this summer….

GET SMART

get_smart_poster.jpgGet Smart is the film adaptation from the 1960’s hit television series. Steve Carell is Maxwell Smart, the secret agent who is ironically not quite smart. He is, however quite agile in hand to hand combat.

The movie also stars Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin and Masi Oka, with some special cameo appearances of actors from the original TV series. The film is directed by Peter Segal.

Get Smart comes to theaters June 19.

Here’s the trailer.

THE ROCKER

The movie also has Christina Applegate and Josh Grad and will open in the 1st of August.

Here’s the trailer.

THE PROMOTION

Originally titled as Quebec, the film is set for a June 6 playdate. Directed by Steve Conrad, who is also the writer for Pursuit of Happyness, the film is about two grocery store assistant managers who are up and against each other for promotion.

It stars Sean William Scott and John C. Reilly, who Jenna has previously worked with in the film, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

Here’s the trailer.

There you have it…

The Office may be out for a few months but the cast are still very much visible. It’s refreshing to see our favorite actors play different roles once in a while and showcase their range. These movies should serve as a welcome break while Season 5 is still under production.
