Wikipedia said:Sony Pictures has announced plans to begin a trilogy of live-action/computer-generated Smurf films, the first to be released in 2011. The project had been in various stages of development since 2003. In June 2008, it was announced that Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation have acquired film rights from Lafig Belgium. Current plans have Jordan Kerner producing with Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third screenwriters J. David Stem and David N. Weiss in negotiations to write.
The film is due to star Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf, Katy Perry as Smurfette, George Lopez as Grouchy Smurf, Kevin James as Hefty Smurf and Alan Cumming as Gutsy Smurf. It was suggested that Quentin Tarantino would play Brainy Smurf, but this "didn't work out"
IGN said:According to the site, there are a lot of TV comics voicing the Smurfs. Two Saturday Night Live cast members -- Kenan Thompson as Greedy Smurf and Fred Armisen as Brainy Smurf -- have signed on, as well as B.J. Novak (The Office) as Baker Smurf and John Oliver (The Daily Show) as Vanity Smurf. Jeff Foxworthy will provide the voice of Handy Smurf, while Wolfgang Puck will fittingly play Chef Smurf. Gary Basaraba (Mixed Blessings) has been cast as Hefty Smurf.
Hmmm. Didn't Avatar already do this? (kidding)
This.......I don't know what to say about this. It might be....... hell I don't even have a clue.
The Smurfs is set to open August 3, 2011.
