The Smurfs Movie

Director Raja Gosnell is tackling a new movie adaptation of the Smurfs, those little blue creatures imagined by Peyo. This new Smurfs movie will be a hybrid CGI/live-action movie. It won't be a sequel to the earlier Smurf feature films, but will be starting from another storyline. The Smurfs movie was once set for a release in December 2010, but it has since been pushed back to July 2011.

Take a look to the first official poster of the Smurfs (not yet updated to the new release date):

Synopsis

The Smurfs make their first 3D trip to the big screen in Columbia Pictures’/Sony Pictures Animation’s hybrid live-action and animated family comedy, The Smurfs. When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the Smurfs out of their village, they’re forced through a portal, out of their world and into ours, landing in the middle of New York’s 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.
