I also agree, they should’ve done it in medieval times as magic plays a part in many of the stories. I just hope the story doesn’t suffer as we’ll be subjected to Smurfs getting exposed to modern inventions such as an Ipod etc, like the chipmunks.

I’m happy they got Hank Azaria, I think the guy is under-rated and a bit of a chameleon. I think he could play a bumbling wizard very well.

A lot of people are hating on this movie, but no one can deny that this cast is pretty amazing. Hopefully all this talent translates into a good film. I agree, Im not really digging the Smurfs take Manhattan angle, but we’ll see. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The casting gets better or worse pending your point of view. EW is reporting:

“Saturday Night Live‘s Kenan Thompson and Fred Armisen as Greedy Smurf and Brainy Smurf, respectively; The Office’s B.J. Novak as Baker Smurf; and comedian Jeff Foxworthy as Handy Smurf. They join Pee-wee Herman himself, Paul Reubens, who, as previously reported by Deadline, will play Jokey Smurf. Also lending their voices to the little blue creatures are Wolfgang Puck — playing none other than Chef Smurf — and veteran character actor Gary Basaraba as Hefty Smurf. Star Trek’s Anton Yelchin will voice Clumsy Smurf. The rumors that Quentin Tarantino and Michael Cera are joining the cast are not true.”

What Rumors?!? Also, if they have a Greedy Smurf, why do they need a Baker and Chef Smurf?
