EVERYTHING GOLD IS USED AGAIN "Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation are bringing a live-action/animated 'Smurfs' project to the bigscreen. … Best known in the United States for the long-running Hanna-Barbera cartoon, the Smurfs were created in 1958 by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, known throughout the world as Peyo. The Smurfs, originally called 'Les Schtroumpfs' in French, were created for a Belgian series of comic books, first as minor characters. The villagers, known for their blue skin and small statures, spawned a line of statuettes, games, toys, theme parks and a hit TV series, which ran as part of NBC's Saturday-morning lineup from 1981-90. … 'Smurfs' marks SPA's first hybrid film — a subgenre that proved popular given the success of 20th Century Fox's 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' …"

I think Joe and Jessica Simpson should be Papa Smurf and Smurfette respectively. It would take the Smurfs to that nutha level.

Oh and perhaps Mel Gibson could be Father Smurf. Father Smurf hates Jews, is very Catholic, but not afraid to call you sugar tits and touch you in the bad place.

Damn, I can't believe I forgot about Gargamel. It's got to be Javier Bardem. Azrael will be played by Verne Troyer in a cat suit.

Good call on Javier - the handsome villian you love to hate.
I had forgotten what the cats name was… and Verne Troyer would do a fine job at that role.

Can you see the creepy, yet slightly sexual scene when Gargamel/Javier creates Smurfette to destroy the Smurfs?
