Ok so one day, I was on a “cartoon to film” forum and I noticed an uproar of movie junkies talking about all the gossip they heard in the past year about cartoon/film adaptations! While peeking, I noticed a few comments about a “Smurf” live action film and at first I was like, yah whatever! It didnt really move me much! Maybe because I didnt believe it was gonna ever see the light of day! So me being the Curious George that I am;(Minus the man in the big yellow hat) Decided to do some research on the subject and ladies and gents of the Retro Age, Im proud to inform you that its no rumor!
Raja Gosnell and Jordan Kerner bring you an anticipated live action look into the lives of the little blue creatures that some of us,(big brothers or parents) fell in love with in our younger years! the synopsis is simple; “The adventures of a mythical race of little blue creatures that must deal with each other and humans, particularly an evil sorcerer obsessed with capturing them for his own sinister purposes”. Sounds pretty straight forward rite! Well this is only some of the things you could expect from this flick! The fact that this film will be a CGI/live action clash, mixing the crazy antics of the creatures of smurf villiage with the busy realtime environments of America. It kinda puts you in an Alvin & the Chipmunks film kinda vibe, and the fact that Katey Perry and Quentin Tarrentino are gonna be lending their voices as Smurfette and Brainy smurf Kinda adds to the exictement and in a way boosts the expectations! And if that doesnt get the blue blood pumping, these sneak peak picks definitly will…………
(Notice the 3D, CGI treatment the little guy got!)
Yes yes folks! I think this is gonna a be a smurfing classic! be looking for its Columbia Pictures release, next summer!
