GET SMART

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.
