The Smurfs Movie has found a director in the form of Raja Gosnell (Home Alone 3), according to THR. The new film is being produced in a joint venture between Columbia Pictures and Sony Animation. Sony Animation is responsible for the 2007 children’s hit Surf’s Up. The script is written by David N. Weiss (Shrek 2) and Audrey Wells (George of the Jungle).
Since this film is going to be a children’s movie I won’t freak out like I did at the T.J. Hooker and Baywatch announcements. The Smurfs are classics and if a respectful animation film can be provided from Sony then that is all I’ll expect.
