Smurf Movies Views
It will be the first CGI/live-action hybrid film in The Smurfs franchise.[2] After five years of negotiations, Kerner bought the rights in 2002 and was in development with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies until Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation obtained the film rights in 2008. Filming began on March 26, 2010 in New York. After having the release date change three times, it is currently scheduled to be released on July 29, 2011.[3]
After pursuing the film rights for five years, producer Jordan Kerner finally secured the rights to The Smurfs property in 2002 and soon began developing the 3-D CGI feature film with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies.[13][14] In 2006, Kerner said it was planned to be a trilogy and would explain more of Gargamel's backstory. He stated, We’ll learn [more] about Gargamel and Smurf Soup and how all that began and what really goes on in that castle. What his backstory really was. There’s an all-powerful wizard… there’s all sorts of things that get revealed as we go along .[13] Early animation footage was leaked on the internet in early 2008.[15]
I am just so smurfing happy to hear about the movie. I to grew up watching the Smurfs. I like movies made from old shows or movies. I don/’t give a smurf what other people think but I will definately go see it no matter what. I hope there is more of an all star cast for the voices that would just be the smurfiest!!
I0’m also excited to add actor Anton Yelchin to the cast list. He/’s a young actor with a career to watch considering his filmography already includes Terminator Salvation, Star Trek, and Charlie Bartlett. Yahoo! Movies has even cleared up the roles of each actor. Yelchin is the voice of Clumsy Smurf, Katy Perry voices Smufette, and Alan Cumming gives voice to Gutsy Smurf. George Lopez voices Grouchy Smurf.
