I can't believe this is happening. One of my favorite cartoons from my childhood. I just hope they don't "Alvin and the Chipmunks"-ify it, though it looks like it could go that way. It seems to have a pretty decent cast though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Hollywood doesn't destroy another childhood memory.

'The Smurfs' Get Real in First Movie Trailer
by Matt McDaniel · June 16, 2010

They've been around for over 50 years, but for the first time they're coming to our world. The Smurfs, the little blue people from comics and TV, are getting three-dimensional in a live-action/computer-animated feature film. Watch the exclusive teaser trailer, introduced by star Neil Patrick Harris, for a first look at the new digital Smurfs, then keep reading to find out how they end up in modern-day New York City.

In the original comic strips by Peyo, and later on the animated TV show, the Smurfs lived in a European setting during the Middle Ages. The movie begins in the same era, but the Smurfs' arch-enemy Gargamel (played by Hank Azaria) invades their village and sends them running. According to director Raja Gosnell ("Scooby-Doo"), some of the Smurfs stumble into a secret part of the forest where "there's a magical portal that transports them to Central Park."

Lost in Manhattan, the Smurfs -- Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, Brainy, Gutsy, and Smurfette -- find a couple of human friends (Harris and "Glee" star Jayma Mays) who take them in. They look for a way home, but Gargamel also crosses into our world to track them down.

From the teaser trailer, it's apparent that the look of the computer-generated Smurfs is very faithful to the originals. They're blue-skinned, though with a textured, fuzzy-looking skin tone the cartoons couldn't capture. And of course they have their signature floppy hats (with Papa Smurf in red). He's not shown in the trailer, but photos of Azaria in costume as Gargamel have surfaced, and he also looks the part. He's bald, with prosthetic ears and a nose, and he's wearing a black robe and red shoes exactly like the animated version.

In addition to the human actors -- Sofia Vergara from "Modern Family" also plays a role -- the Smurfs are voiced by a wide range of comedic talents. Legendary standup Jonathan Winters plays Papa Smurf, George Lopez is Grouchy, "SNL's" Fred Armisen is Brainy, and Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) voices Jokey Smurf. Plus, pop superstar Katy Perry makes her movie debut as the voice of Smurfette.

"The Smurfs" will be smurfing their way onto the big screen on August 3, 2011.

saw that today... Got a big chuckle out of that. Yea it's going to be like A&TC.

Don't like the 3-d part...

too early to announce it for next year...

Don't know why the decided to move this to a live action/cg combo movie from the all CG film they were planning a few years back...

Didn't think the Smurfs needed there own live action movie....

nuff said...gnight.
 
I thought this was going to be live action like the actors where going to play the parts not CGI

boo

plus Quintin Tarintino seems to be out as Brainy, they probably couldn't pay him enough or he sucked..
 
You have to see the silver lining even if there are feces in that cloud.

Here goes: Porn.

Once there is a Smurf movie, there can be Smurf porn.

I'm sure there is Smurf porn out there already, but it based on the cartoon.

Trust me. The Smurf-movie-based porn will be much better.

EDIT: ... starring Ron Jeremy as Papa Smurf ...
 
Honestly, I don't see any possible way it's worse than Alvin and the Chipmunks. Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria, Paul freaking Reubens. Those three alone should be enough to make the movie entertaining. I'd rather see Jayma Mays as the role of Smurfette than Katy Perry, but I'd also rather SEE Jayma as well. So, maybe she'll end up with a nice live action role. Also, the Smurfs are inherently funny, so they'd have to try really hard to make this movie terrible.

That wont stop it from making like 75mil though. Shit or not the majority of the movie going public doesnt care. Kids will want to see it because its little blue people, and mid late 20s people will see it because nostalgia automatically makes stuff cool in their minds and for the rest of the people who like safe and stupid films they will want to see it.

It wont be blockbuster status but it will do well enough they will make a sequel to it. Just like garfield, alvin and the chipmunks did.

That said, the cast is a hell of a lot better than either of those movies had. I love Jason Lee as much as the next guy, but at least they're filling out the voice acting cast with actual funny, established comedic actors...and that's not even counting George Lopez, haha. Also, I can't wait to see Hank Azaria as Gargamel. I don't think he's ever done a role that I didn't enjoy.

This. Hollywood doesn't understand ALL people don't live in NYC/LA. I'm just so tired of movies w/ these settings. Hope my little girl doesn't get to excited over this. I really don't want to see it.

We either get LA, NYC, Washington DC (only for those government scenes :roll: and of course those shots of the capital and pentagon), sometimes Miami (but it's either a comedy movie or something with drugs/gang related). Chicago gets some love once and awhile but what about the other states?
