 |
|
Hey everyone! I've been doing a bit of digging and found this info. Some only broke today. I know you already know about Doogie Houser, but I think Alan Cumming and Katy Perry are new?
Neil Patrick Harris will be the overworked Husband.
Katy Perry is in talks for Smurfette.
Alan Cumming is signed on for 'Gutsy Smurf'
George Lopez is signed on for 'Grouchy Smurf'
Johnathan Winters IS Papa Smurf... again!
Huzzah!
Also, 9pm next Tuesday my TV show is on Current tv on Sky. Hope you get to catch it.
Al

Noooooooooo not Katy Perry as Smurfette 
If she was Smurfette she wouldn't be able to 'kiss a girl' 
I'll try and watch your show Alan, what channel on sky?

just reading this article below, sounds like Gargamel will also be in CGI. Hank is only voicing him. And some Glee star is playing the pregnant wife.
| Quote: | | Azaria and Mays Join The Smurfs: Neil Patrick Harris joined The Smurfs as the first live-action human character and now "Glee" star Jayma Mays has also joined the cast as the pregnant wife of Patrick Harris's character. Also, Hank Azaria will play Gargamel, the sworn enemy of the Smurfs. Katy Perry was previously announced as part of the voice cast and today it was confirmed she will be voicing Gargamel's creation, Smurfette. The story takes place in Central Park in New York City and centers on the happy expectant couple's (Patrick Harris and Perry) lives being turned upside-down upon meeting the blue creatures. Strangely enough, Gargamel will be an animated character according to reports, which is interesting considering the film will mix live-action and CG-animation and I would have thought that character would be live-action as well. Raja Gosnell (Scooby-Doo) is directing for an August 3, 2011 release. |

The woman from Glee is still in the movie. The pregnant wife and the cosmetic woman are 2 different roles. Here is the press release:
| Quote: | “THE SMURFS” BEGINS PRODUCTION IN NEW YORK
HANK AZARIA STARS AS GARGAMEL; NEIL PATRICK HARRIS AND JAYMA MAYS TAKE LIVE ACTION LEAD ROLES;
ANTON YELCHIN, COMEDY LEGEND JONATHAN WINTERS, POP STARLET KATY PERRY, ALAN CUMMING, FRED ARMISEN, AND GEORGE LOPEZ ARE THE VOICES OF THE SMURFS
CULVER CITY, Calif., April 5, 2010 - Principal photography began Friday, March 26, in New York on Columbia Pictures’/Sony Pictures Animation’s hybrid live-action and animated family comedy, The Smurfs, it was announced today by Bob Osher, president of Sony Pictures Digital Productions, Hannah Minghella, president of Sony Pictures Animation and Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures.
Audiences everywhere are in for a Smurfy good time as the Smurfs make their first 3D trip to the big screen. When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours - in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down. The film is set for release August 3, 2011.
Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vergara, and Hank Azaria star on camera opposite an all-star voice cast. Anton Yelchin will play Clumsy Smurf; comedy legend Jonathan Winters, who voiced roles in the “Smurfs” television series, will voice Papa Smurf; Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Katy Perry will play Smurfette; Alan Cumming will play Gutsy Smurf; “SNL’s” Fred Armisen will voice Brainy Smurf; and George Lopez will play Grouchy Smurf.
In the live-action roles, Azaria will play the Smurfs’ nemesis, the evil wizard Gargamel. Harris and Mays star as an expectant couple whose lives are turned upside down when the Smurfs cross over from their magical village to New York City. Vergara plays Odile, Harris’s boss, a cosmetics executive.
The film is directed by Raja Gosnell. The screenplay is by J. David Stem & David N. Weiss and Jay Scherick & David Ronn, based on the characters and works of Peyo. The producer is Jordan Kerner and Ezra Swerdlow, Ben Haber, and Paul Neesan are the executive producers.
Commenting on the announcement, Minghella said, “We’re thrilled with the way our cast has come together. Raja and Jordan and the entire team working on The Smurfs have developed a film with tremendous heart and great comedy and now we have a dream cast to bring the movie to life.”
Adds producer Jordan Kerner, “What a wonderful journey this has been. The time is right for an adventure that will thrill fans and introduce the blue heroes to a new generation, and the technology is here to allow the three-apple-high Smurfs to appear in all their glory on the big screen and in 3D. Columbia Pictures has been magnificent at every turn in their commitment to get The Smurfs to the screen. Our partners at Lafig, including Peyo’s daughter Veronique Culliford, have been with us in the creation of the story and characters every step of the way. It’s a real thrill to begin shooting and working with our compatriots at Sony Pictures Animation. Just wait - the blue invasion is coming!”
Phil Meheux (Edge of Darkness) is the director of photography and the production designer is Bill Boes (Beverly Hills Chihuahua). Sabrina Plisco (Beverly Hills Chihuahua) is the film’s editor, Maricel Pagulayan (Avatar) is the VFX Producer and Richard R. Hoover (Superman Returns) is the visual effects supervisor, with Sony Pictures Imageworks creating imagery and animation for the magical world of the Smurfs.
About Sony Pictures Animation
Sony Pictures Animation exemplifies the next generation of CGI storytelling to produce a variety of animated entertainment for audiences around the world. Sony Pictures Animation has a full slate of films including the mouth-watering 3D comedy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which opened as the #1 movie in North America on September 18, Hotel Transylvania, now in pre-production and, in association with Columbia Pictures, The Smurfs, now in production. In 2007, Surf’s Up, was nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature and won two Annie Awards. The company’s first film, Open Season, was a box office success and the #2 DVD title of the year for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Its sequel, Open Season 2, released in 2009, was an international family hit. Sony Pictures Animation is an operating unit of Sony Pictures Digital Productions.
About the Smurfs
The story of the Smurfs - a property created by Peyo - started in 1958 with the creation of comic books which were later brought to the big screen and on television. Over the years, the little blue characters haven’t just limited themselves to the page and the screen. They have inspired records and CDs that have sold millions of copies, entire collections of figurines and toys, and many more products. In all, more than 3,000 derived products have been produced, leading brands and companies have spread their messages worldwide with the help of the Smurfs. A multitude of new projects appear regularly, thus making the success of the Smurfs planetary! |

I have to say I like the new plot of the movie....sounds like it will make the smurfs current without them losing too much of their old charm

Hey Brad,
I posted that video somewhere else on the forum earlier this month, that's why it's a little strange that in the press release it says Gargamel is Live Action, as Hank Azaria says he is CGI in the video...

We'll see.
I'm really not liking too many of the choices to be honest.
But The Up Side is that Papercutz Books will be reissuing the first three Smurfs comic albums hopefully with more to follow.
