Smurfs...THE MOVIE!!!

Well i've got to give a mention of /film where i've got this piece of information that i wasn't aware of at all...so i looked it up a bit and IMDB are showing it as being in Pre-production. Thats right a real Smurf live action/CGI film.
It's to be directed by Colin Brady, a little known name in terms of directing having only directed one film previous to this...however Brady has been visual supervisor on anumber of great films...including E.T and Lemony Snicket...which means if anything that the film should have a great style and look to it!
at the moment the film has been properly cast and is being written by a new guy so we shall see...but apparently is set for a 2009 release!!
