Has the movie making world gone totally mad? Apparently, through Rope of Silicon from Newsweek, comes this incredible gem:
‘The Smurfs.’ The scoop: No release date yet. But “it’s in our plans,” says a rep from IMPS, which handles Smurf rights. Chatter bug: The project has been rumored since 2003, with Jeff Goldblum once listed as Gargamel.
Yes, you read it right. A live action version of The Smurfs cartoon…oh sweet lord, what the hell is going on with those “execs” the so called brains of Hollywood!
Think that’s daft? Hold on for this one…
‘Alvin and the Chipmunks.’ The scoop: Theodore, Simon and the red-hot lead singer will come to life—how else?—through CGI. Chatter bug: Remember the “Garfield” catastrophe? Can these has-beens pull off a hit?
Please, save us, and please tell me that you’re not rooting for these two?….Please?
