According to the BBC,

Scooby Doo director Raja Gosnell has signed up to make the animated Smurfs movie, according to trade paper The Hollywood Reporter. Producer Jordan Kerne, who has been working on the as-yet-untitled film for seven years, said Gosnell is a “brilliant director”. He added that Gosnell has a “deft touch in blending the worlds of physical comedy and honest emotion”.

I’d add that Gosnell is the guy who wrecked Scooby Doo. Anyway, you can read more here.
