It seems that Paul Reubens has joined the Cast of the Smurfs, and while they wont tell us who the Smuft he is playing, I think he really should be the voice of Brainy Smurf.
But that role has already been cast.
Ramascreen gives us the cast so far:
THE SMURFS voice cast:
Anton Yelchin will voice Clumsy Smurf
Jonathan Winters will voice Papa Smurf
Katy Perry will voice Smurfette
Alan Cumming will voice Gutsy Smurf
Fred Armisen will voice Brainy Smurf
George Lopez will voice Grouchy Smurf.Playing live action roles:
Hank Azaria will play the Smurfs’ nemesis, the evil wizard Gargamel
Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays will play an expectant couple whose lives are turned upside down when the Smurfs cross over from their magical village to New York City.
Sofia Vergara will play Odile, Harris’s boss, a cosmetics executive.
While I am a little disturbed that The Smurfs are not being portrayed as medieval, and that Jeff Goldblum isn’t Gargamel – this is quite the cast.
Just like the Transformers, I worry that this will have too many “people” in it. There should be one person, Gargamel.
The rest, Smurfs.
