Merrick here...
My teenage son just pointed this out to me - not sure why he noticed this particular newsbit, but...whatever. Seems The Powers That Be are moving ahead with a SMURFS movie sequel.
Sony Pictures has decided to move forward with a sequel, setting an Aug. 2, 2013 release for "The Smurfs 2.
...per THIS piece from our friend Jeff at Variety.
Hopefully this sequel will spend more time in Smurfland, or whatever it's called, than the current picture - as Smurf Village and whatnot are considered really "cute" by hot women and four year olds, and at least one hot woman with a four year old. Although, I suspect SMURFS 2 will take the easy route and return those little blue bastards back to our "real" world with some mission-specific purpose. As long as Neil Patrick Harris is in it, which will hopefully happen, there will be hope...
