Los Angeles (E! Online) - Children of the '80s, take note: There's something smurftastic brewing in Hollywood.


Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation have scooped up the big-screen rights to the Smurfs and are on track to develop a hybrid live action/animated film based on the three-apple-high beings.

Papa Smurf, Smurfette and the rest of the blue-hued crew will be computer-rendered in the flick, which filmmakers hope launches a movie franchise.

Created by Pierre Culliford, aka Peyo, in 1958, Les Schtroumpfs began as minor comic-book characters before branching out into ubiquitous merchandising efforts and as NBC's Emmy-winning Smurfs cartoon, which ran from 1981-90.

Davids Stem and Weiss, the family-friendly scribes behind Shreks 2 and 3, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and The Rugrats Movie, are in talks to write.

Sounds positively smurfsational!

Are they really that stuck for ideas in movie-land?

[doombug]

I think I just died a little. Can we please leave my childhood alone unless your going to respect it ala the new TMNT movie?

[Lord Simian]

No, you know what?

Fuck it.

I'm going to say it.

I WANT A SHIRT TALES FILM.

[DeadFett]

Man, Hollywood sucks.

[garion]

And when they announced the new TMNT movie, everyone said the same thing. We haven't seen the movie yet. How do you know they won't respect it?

[Starlord]

my husband is going to love this. Now if they announce an ALF movie, the guy may spontaneously combust.

[BubbaKanoosh]

I heard this bout a year ago, its planned to be a trilogy.

[outsider]

This could work, but I don't like that it will be a mix of CGI and live action. Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman and Michael Jordan probably would recommend against that.

[GCom]

What... the random... ****... is this fresh Hells?!

I'm gonna go find whoever thought this up and I'm going to slip into his house (and by "slip in" I mean drive through the wall with a truck while he's eating dinner), rape his cat, eat his dog, pee in his bed, fry up his fish and say bad things to his kids.

Now that the introductions are out of the way, we'll get to the part where I start venting my anger.

First I'll start by tying him to a tick-infested chair and making him watch smurfs from the beginning to the end of the series in 8X fast forward. The he watches it in rewind, normal speed. After that he watches it in slow-mo.

Next I rub him all over with cheese graters and wood rasps, followed by a dunking with lemon juice and ice-cream sprinkles.

If he doesn't understand that I'm upset at this point, I'll start to cut away his teeth with my fingernails. I will replace his teeth with leggo bricks and wood-glue.

He should now understand that I am upset, and take the opportunity while he still has a right hand to sign a "kill-project" order.

If he doesn't get the idea at this point, I just set up a slow-pour of sodium on his head, about 30 pounds worth. On my way out the door I break any close-by water pipe and smile knowing that all the evidence is going to be erased.

Then I go hunting the next guy in the chain.



With Tolerance For Peyo... If Hate Could Enable Time-Travel, We Would Never Have Known About Smurfs...
