Perhaps the movie will finally reveal how and why Smurfette is the only female among the bunch...

Los Angeles (E! Online) - Children of the '80s, take note: There's something smurftastic brewing in Hollywood.

Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation have scooped up the big-screen rights to the Smurfs and are on track to develop a hybrid live action/animated film based on the three-apple-high beings.

What the smurf are they thinking?

And who'll get to chew the scenery as Gargamel?

Oh, I hope they do it justice.

Just like they did with "Alvin and the Chipmunks."

Oh, wait. Nevermind.

At last a movie ideally suited to Rob Marshall!

I used to have a very strange fascination with The Smurfs...don't ask me why. The mind boggles with the possibilities of tastelessness on this one, no?

You're right. This might be more of a Scorsese project. Can't you just see Dicaprio all blued up? And De Niro as Gargamel, oh yeah!
