According to Reelzchannel.com, and other sources, the Smurfs movie release has been delayed. If only it could be delayed permanently! Read more at Reelzchannel.

So, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the plot of the Smurf movie centers on a girl who, after receiving a toy Smurf as a present, discovers that it is a live Smurf. The rest of the movie revolves around her attempts to get the Smurf home. The Smurf is, predictably, Clumsy Smurf.

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.
