From super-tall blue creatures in Avatar to...
3-apple high blue creatures in SMURFS!

Neil Patrick Harris, who displayed his song and dance chops during the Oscar telecast, has signed on for the key live-action role in the upcoming The Smurfs movie, which will combine CGI with conventional cinematography (see “Here Come the Smurfs”). Live-action/CGI veteran Raja Gosnell (Scooby Doo, Beverly Hills Chihuahua) will direct the film.



The vocal cast that will be providing the voices for the miniature blue creatures will include the 84-year-old comedian Jonathan Winters, who actually did some voice work for the original Smurf cartoons. Winters will voice “Pap” Smurf, while Cummings will provide the vocalization for “Gutsy” Smurf and George Lopez will lend a Latino tinge to “Grouchy” Smurf. Katy Perry will naturally provide the voice of the lone female Smurf, aka Smurfette.






Sofia Vergara will play a cosmetics executive married to the character played by Neil Patrick Harris (see “NPH in Smurfs Movie”) in The Smurfs, according to Hollywood Reporter. Vergara is best known for her role in ABC's Modern Family.



Jayma Mays and Hank Azaria have also been cast in The Smurfs.



Shooting begins in New York in the next week, according to the report.

Thought you were gonna say Sam Worthington was cast as a Smurf.

Hank Azaria is Gargamel. What a terrible article to not make that evident.

"Pap" Smurf WTF

Another childhood memory about to be ruined...

That's a pretty fantastic makeup job.

Though it is on Hank Azaria, not NPH.

How so, man? I hate that phrase.

I wonder if there were people who grew up on Steamboat Mickey bitching and moaning about The Great Mouse Detective raping their childhood

I swear, every time they do a live action/cgi take on an animated series I grew up on, it ends up being shit (I'm looking at you, Scooby Doo. And Transformers. And GI Joe.).

I will say, Hank Azaria looks like a dead-on Gargamel.

The problem is, will they try to "modernize it," thus killing what made the series fun?

If they take a they're all on drugs approach to it, I may like it.

All that I understand, but how is it ruining your childhood?

Would a good remake improve your childhood?

alright, a Latino tinge to Grouchy Smurf

All latinos are grumpy. Duh.

Let me re-read what I said:

Maybe I'm confusing myself with semantics, but 'Childhood Memory' is slightly different than 'Childhood.' I had somewhat fond memories of the Smurfs show. I am almost certain that they'll fuck it up, and people will be like "You watched that shit?" Hence 'Childhood Memory.' I think the only way my 'Childhood' would have been ruined is if some dude dressed up in a Papa Smurf suit raped me. I don't see that happening any time soon.

Secondly, I probably should have pointed out that I was being facetious. I figured it was obvious after the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification but my statement stands:

How can this ruin a childhood memory? Hell, that's even worse than what I asked before. And what do you care about people thinking the new Smurfs are what you liked as a kid? If they're that stupid to think they are one in the same their opinion should hold no bearing. That wouldn't affect your childhood memory at all.

And to adjust, the movie ending up good wouldn't improve your childhood memory either. It's a memory. Safe inside your head.

Makes sense.

I should have said "This movie will totally NOT do justice to the original."

I hear even the 80's toon was a reimagining of something (far?) older. Didn't look that far into it.

Kinda looks like Malcom from Malcom in the Middle

Once seen it can never be unseen.

I feel bad for women having to get pap smurfs every year

Kane Knight thinks I'm a hypocrite for hating on the concept of revisions 'ruining childhoods', despite my easily searched record of me defending all manner of remakes and adaptions. Just making public his idiocy.
