Is This A Smurf From Raja Gosnell's Live Action/CGI Project??

Published at:  Feb 01, 2010 1:57:28 PM CST


Merrick here...


UGO has what appears to be a whole-body shot of a Smurf from the forthcoming live-action/CGI adaptation by Raja Gosnell (the first two SCOOBY DOO movies, BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA).


See the whole thing HERE!

He looks like one of the Village People.

    The tight white pants & hat reminded me of their costumes. I know that's part of the Smurf characters' traditional design - but this particular iteration sparked the comparison in my mind for some reason. I'm sick as hell today so maybe way off base.

    that have been lingering over Smurfs from the very beginning. Why is there only one female Smurf? And if Smurfette's the only one, does that mean she's like the hive queen and gets plenty fucked by all the dudes. How do they reproduce? Papa Smurf, why he's the only one who gets to wear red, and why's he the only one with a beard? Vanity Smurf is a homosexual, right? i mean it's pretty obvious.

    The Smurfs Is Unfilmable

    by kevinwillis.net

    Just read the script. "[Smurfing]. Shot opens on Tedious Smurf smurfing his collection of smurfles. Suddenly, the door bangs open. Obnoxious Smurf is the doorway, and he has clearly been smurfing. He smurfily walks inside, exuding an air of smurfness. "I've got some smurf to smurf with you," he says with an edge of smurfiness in his voice. "And you're going to smurf there and smurf it."

    So, a parent I know decided to netflix some Smurf DVDs to show her daughters. After about three episodes the oldest one—she's in 1st grade—says, "I don't understand. What do they do?" The mom says "What do you mean?" The girl says, "Why did you used to watch this? They don't do anything." The youngest daughter (4-years-old) says, "They run away from that man." The older one agrees, they do do that. "But do they do anything else?" "Not really," said the mom.

    by dennismm

    Over Christmas weekend I was talked into watching it. As I was traumatized by a car accident Xmas Eve, my brain didn't register that my younger sister, screwy older brother and eight-year-old niece all seemed to love it. So, rather than argue for "Bolt," I went along with the crowd. Dear gods, protect me from seeing another film that BORING any time soon. Boring and silly, obviously aimed at young children but lacking crossover quality for adults. I think I chuckled a couple of times. At least Carlos Mencia wasn't in it. Was he? My brain was scarred by that movie.

    3 fingers/4 fingers

    by utinnipuccini

    Not sure the exact reason for the 3 fingers/1 thumb thing, but I'll take slone13's word for it.

    But yeah, you'll notice Japanese characters like Sonic and Mario have four fingers and a thumb... drawing characters with less fingers is taboo over there. Apparently it has to do with yakuza associations. But interesting trivia regarding Sonic: Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper is the only character missing a finger on each hand. He's also the only character from the games to have any links to the criminal underworld.

    Avatar was awful and I hated every minute of it. The 3-D was terrible. The Navi which when around humns looked 15 feet tall, later looked like they were 3 feet tall. Groundbreaking my ass! Scooby Doo 2, while a terrible film, never pretended to be groundbreaking and therefore was better. Hell I even laughed when dumbass scrappy showed up.

    by coastward

    specifically designed to tap into the parents of today and their nostalgia/brand recognition from watching 80's cartoons. Why not make movies based on what kids are watching these days, is Dora The Explorer still popular?? That seemed like a quality, respectable property to adapt. Kids don't know about the smurfs, Chipmunks. Let them decide what movies get made.

    Loved the Smurfs

    by jaka

    I was one of those dorks who collected the figures for quiet a while in my youth (traded them for a nice amount of credit at a comic/collectibles shop many years ago). I'm interested in a Smurf's movie/revival, but the directors resume isn't really instilling me with a lot of confidence. Those movies, regardless of quality, really weren't the kind of thing I generally enjoy. I could ALMOST get into the first Scooby movie, but then something too far cheesed and self aware would happen and I'd loose interest again.

    That's funny as, 3 apples high, actually it would be quite frightening seeing one that big, i assumed they were about 3 inches high. The best thing that has probably ever come out of the smurfs is their language, which we immature ones take the smurf out of......The best thing some studio honcho could do is take one of these old 80's cartoons/icon's and remake it for people who watched it in the 80's ie. make it a grown up spoof with language and violence and rated R. That's probably the only way we would ever enjoy them

    "One night, during a theatre performance of Little Smurf Riding Hood, the Northern part of the audience keeps interrupting the Southern actors over the use of language, claiming, among other things, that the title should be Little Red Riding Smurf. The arguing and interruptions continue to the point where the play erupts into an all-out fight. Papa Smurf breaks it up, pointing out the silliness of fighting over a matter of words. At first the Smurfs appear to think that he is right, but then start arguing again over whether they should "shake smurfs" or "smurf hands"."

    Brainy had something to do with it.

    Actually, as much as everyone heaps shit on the Smurfs, the original Peyo comics were really well done, and his art had a beautiful and natural line. Also the ones I bought in the eighties were not like American comics, but properly bound books which I think may have been exactly the same dimensions and binding as the Tintin books. Good quality paper as well. The stories and characterisation may leave you cold, but the art was great, and you can't hold Peyo (hadn't he died by the time it all hit big?) responsible for fucking underoos.

    Having said all that, why on earth are the pants all wrinkled and super realistic? They're bloody little blue guys with tails! If you can't suspend your disbelief enough to buy the premise, no amount of photorealistic physics simulation on their dacks will convince you. Geez man...

    by dingbatty

    despite the annoying overuse of the word "smurf" as a placeholder for various words in their lexicon, the cartoon version from the 80's actually has well paced and thought out storytelling, now that I've seen them, now. In retrospect, I don't remember being all that captivated as a kid, but I think it was more childhood posturing because The Smurfs were perceived to be primarily a show for girls, at the time.Now, how they hold up to the Peyo originals, I don't know, as I've never read them. But it was inevitable they'd get a live actioner, given Tin Tin, and the general significance of Belgian comics.

    That's the trouble with the designs of CGI characters - every bodily orifice and topical detail is included in them, just because they CAN be, thanks to computers. Feh. Kudos to Imagi for leaving the trademark Tezuka eyelashes off of Astro Boy. Doing so helped make him a BOY in the best sense of the word, instead of a gay/pedophiliac icon. As for this Smurf thing...well, whatever, why not? They're about do for a CGI makeover, and it could work out, and they were always a superb brand for kids (better than a lot of the crap out there for them now) so I hope it's good and if it is, I hope it's successful.

    ...quite a lot, Smurfette wasn't, technically, the only female. Sassette Smurfling was the other (also created by Gargamel).

    The dead zone....you know...

    by darth macchio

    ...that period of time between "adaptation" and "digging through 20 year old crap for new, shinier, crap". I remember thinking when they said a cgi Garfield was on the way: Now? Uhh...now? It was ten plus years ago every asshat and his/her mother had a garfield suctioned cupped to his/her window but NOW they're making a movie?Same for Smurfs except I think we may have passed through the "dead zone" of adaptations and now it's remembered fondly by near-middle aged asshats?Is it too soon for a live action Ren & Stimpy or would we have to wait 10 years until it was fondly remembered? Notice how close the word "fondly" is to "fondle"?Who's writing this shit anyway?

    Is that Smurf guest-starring on a 1950's variety show?

    So were their houses mushrooms?

    by chief joseph

    If so, how could a creature three apples high live in a mushroom? I don't think there are any that big. Or do they build their houses to look like shrooms for some reason?
