Smurfs movies in the works!

http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/tic....cfm?tmID=2831

Paramount has picked up the film rights to the Smurfs and are in the planning process for a 3D CGI film for Nickelodeon Movies. They're looking to create a trilogy of films in this manner, with the first one to be released in 2008 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs. They originated in 1958 as a Belgian comic strip by Pevo Culliford. Then, in 1981, NBC had an animated series that ran for 256 episodes and won numerous Emmy awards. Herb Ratner will write the screenplay.

Raph's Girl note: Who're they gonna get to voice Gargamel??

Were they just waiting for Paul Winchell to die before greenlighting this? At least Jim Cummings does a good Winchell impression.

I hated the Smurfs. And the Snorks. And the Paw-Paw Bears. God dammit.

I shed a tear for those who will spent the next 6 months to a year of their lives to this project. I've spent 3 weeks working on a stupid godawful movie, and I'm about to rip my hair out.

*salute*

I liked the Smurfs (Brainy Smurf ruled... is anyone surprised by that? Hehe ) But I don't think they should make a movie on them, hehe...

Snorks>Smurfs

That being said, the film is going to blow, if only for the reason Hollywood never gets animated series-to-films right.
