Masi Oka’s Get Smart Spin-Off DVD Release Date
Like Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere, and Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka is developing a flourishing movie career beyond the world of Heroes, and his most prominent role to date is co-starring alongside Nate Torrance in the “Get Smart” movie spin-off, “Get Smart’s Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control”. Masi will be playing Bruce, while Torrance will be playing Lloyd, two analyst techies that work at CONTROL, who, one presumes, goes on adventures with hilarious results. The movie was always scheduled to be released directly to DVD to coincide with the movie’s theatrical release.
TheManRoom.com has the DVD dates and details:
Warner Home Video has announced the direct-to-video spin-off of this summer’s Get Smart starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway will be released July 1 on Blu-ray Disc, following a previous announcement for a DVD edition on the same date.
Get Smart’s Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control on Blu-ray will carry an SRP of $35.99.
The price will no doubt go down by the time the DVD hits the shelves.
Here’s what Masi said about the movie not that long ago:
“[It’s called] Get Smarter right now. We don’t know when we’re shooting that. It’s supposed to be August and September. It’s whenever they get the script, I guess, and a director. The writers are still doing. They’re very excited for our characters so they’re inspired. They want to keep on polishing it and making it better.
Well, the whole idea is Get Smart the feature is kind of like Hamlet and Get Smarter is going to be Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. So to make it kind of a tie-in, I know they’re going to try to incorporate some footage from the actual feature into it so it looks like it’s seeing what’s leading up behind the scenes.”
And Masi, of course, will also show up in the theatrical “Get Smart”, before jumping onto his own DVD movie spin-off.
More details on the special features we can expect on this direct-to-DVD release when they become available.
