That sounds like the funniest thing ever.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Because books.

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

Sassette actually has the same origins as Smurfette (with a minor difference, she wasn't made by Gargamel). The smurflings (Slouchy, Nat, and Snappy) were pitying Smurfette who felt lonely, being the only girl in the village, so they decided to help her. They learned from Papa Smurf that Smurfette was indeed created magically by Gargamel out of clay. They then went to steal Gargamel's formula and magical recipes for creating Smurfette. They successfully created Sassette, who this time didn't need plastic smurfery (though her rude behavior and attitude needed a bit of chemical tweaking). As they introduced Sassette to Smurfette, Smurfette was overjoyed at having a female friend, albeit a bit of a tomboy.
Of course, they didn't realize that Gargamel had cast a spell on the claybank that would have quite literally turned the little smurfling into a living bomb when the noon sun struck her. Papa's quick thinking and a fortuitous cloud over the sun saved both Sassette and the other smurfs. Gargamel, getting too close to the clay, ended up a victim of his own treachery.
