Well Smurf my Smurf...
There is going to be a Smurfs movie.
No, really.
I can't decide if I think this is a smurfy idea or if it's going to smurf the big smurf.

What can be done to stop this rising tide of evil?

Jordan Kerner, dean at NCSA's film school is producing this. When I spoke to him about it last year, he said he personally watched every single episode of the Smurfs and wrote a list of 236 questions about the nature of the creatures and characters that was never answered in the show. He's planning a trilogy, and says that by film three, all 236 questions shall be answered. Pretty ambitious if you ask me.
One question I have is, yeah, we know the Smurfs are communists, but does their name stand for Solviet Men Under Red Father like those Christian pamphlets from the 80's used to claim?

A better question: How high do you have to be, exactly, to sit through every episode of the Smurfs?
And come up with over 200 questions about them?
