More Smurf cast members announced

Yesterday, we told you about Neil Patrick Harris’ involvement with the 3D Smurf movie, now we hear George Lopez, Katy Perry, Alan Cummingand Jonathan Winters are involved with the production as well.

It’s interesting Winters is in the film, he provided voices during the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series back in the day, and he’ll be playing Papa Smurf in this modern day tale.  It’s probably not too hard to put two and two together and get Katy Perry as Smurfette, and Goerge Lopez as Grouchy Smurf.

As we noted a while ago, the Smurfs movie is still scheduled for a December 17, 2010 release date.

Neil Patrick Harris feels Smurfy

When Neil Patrick Harris takes a hiatus from How I Met Your Mother, he won’t be sitting on his laurels.  Instead he’ll be running around with the three apple high Smurfs in the Raja Gosnell Smurfs movie.  The news reports don’t state what live action character he will play, and NPH doesn’t strike me as a Gargamel-type.  If I were to put my money on the role, I would say he’ll be playing one of the ‘mericans who is trying to get one of the lost Smurfs back to his tribe.

Rapid Roundup of Tinsel Town Rumors for July 9, 2009

With the San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, some of the weird from Hollywood is starting to surge to the forefront, as we present another installment of the Rapid Roundup of Tinsel Town Rumors.  Some might be true, some might be outright lies, but they are all entertaining… to someone… maybe not you… maybe that cute girl on the bus would be interested in your thoughts on the subject… or maybe not.  I don’t think looking at her and saying, “So what do you think about Cameron Diaz and the Green Hornet?” will get a dialogue started.

3D Smurfs movie gets 2010 release date

For whatever reason, Major Spoilers gets a huge number of vistors from search engines looking for Peyo’s Smurf news.  Well web surfers, here’s another morsel for you – the 3D Smurfs movie will be hitting theaters on December 17, 2010.  It’s just in time for the holidays, and while I’m not sure the movie will be highly successful in the United States of America, in Europe is should come on like gangbusters.

Another bit of news that I found interesting is the film is now a CGI live action movie – so expect to see 3D Smurfs running all over live action sets.  Who should play Gargamel? Personally, I’m going for Alan Rickman, although the rumors have John Worfin Lithgow in the film.
