Glory ,'Potential'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Not so sure about PR firms. But I guess that's why it's a comedy.
and ironically, it's not another US remake of a UK show. If you ever get the chance to see it, Absolute Power, starring Stephen Fry (Hugh Laurie's old comedy duo partner) is hilariously scathing on celebrity and politics. Fry plays "Charles Prentiss" the head honcho of a London PR firm.
That sounds like the funniest thing ever.
So, a Smurfs Trilogy?
Producer Jordan Kerner says of the films, "Having seen all 234 episodes of the show, numerous times, Herb Ratner and I have been working really hard at looking where all the holes were in the episodes – ya’know, like all of a sudden another woman appears, it’s not just Smurfette – and what we’ve done is we’ve plugged all those holes in a trilogy of three movies, and we reveal things as we go along."
Kerner went on to say that the trilogy is aiming to be the "Lord of the Rings" of animated films. He explained that the films will fully explore the Smurf world over the course of the trilogy in a way that can only be compared to the epic scope of Peter Jackson’s Tolkien Trilogy.

I think Kerner is out of his smurfing mind.
Cocaine is still a feature in Hollywood then?
I can't imagine how "epic" the story of the Smurfs could be, unless he's just going to make some shit up.
Also, am I the only person who seems to know that Smurfette and Sassy Smurf were both created by Gargamel?

What's really annoying is that it's being put out by Nickelodeon Films, the same company that optioned, and then failed to make Jeff Smith's Bone.
That would have been an excellent companion to LoTR.

I thought Sassy Smurf was created by other smurfs, and she was created as a kid instead of an adult smurf, because they used smurf sized buckets instead of human sized buckets for the ingredients.

Somehow I managed to miss the whole Smurfs phenomenon. I think I'm glad about that.
