New Smurf Movie Trailer

Although the Smurf Movie is not set to be released until August 3, 2011, Sony has released a new trailer that shows much better how the animated Smurfs are going to be integrated into the live action film.

From the trailer we can see that the Smurfs arrive in New York from Belgium and end up with Neil Patrick Harris somehow. The Smurfs themselves look pretty much the exact same as they did in the cartoons except with celebrity voices. It should be noted that the movie will be in 3-D.

Check out the new trailer below. What do you think? A great way to introduce a new generation to a beloved set of characters or a rip-off repeat that should have been left alone?

Who Is In the New Smurf Movie?

The new Smurf movie is promising to have a great lineup of celebrities. Here are just some of them that are already signed on. The movie is still in production, so we could see some changes.

Neil Patrick Harris (Johan)
SofĂ­a Vergara (Odile)
Katy Perry (Smurfette) (voice)
Hank Azaria (Gargamel)
Paul Reubens (Jokey Smurf) (voice)
Alan Cumming (Gutsy Smurf) (voice)
B.J. Novak (Baker Smurf) (voice)
George Lopez (Grouchy Smurf) (voice)
Fred Armisen (Brainy Smurf) (voice)
Kenan Thompson (Greedy Smurf) (voice)
Jonathan Winters (Papa Smurf) (voice)
Jeff Foxworthy (Handy Smurf) (voice)
John Oliver (Vanity Smurf) (voice)
Wolfgang Puck (Chef Smurf) (voice)

Quite a list! I haven’t seen Jonathan Winters in anything new in years. This will definitely be one of those movies where I am listening for voices throughout.

Smurf Movie Trailer

It isn’t very long, but we have finally seen the first Smurf Movie trailer. We don’t get to hear any of the voices or even really see what it is going to be about, but we can at least see a little bit of how the Smurfs are going to be portrayed in a live-action film.
