To smurf or not to smurf, Sony has acquired the rights to Belgian cartoonist Pierre "Peyo" Culliford’s Smurfs to be produced in CG. Seems everybody wants to CG about just any property out there. Writers J. David Stem and David N. Weiss of Sherk 2 and 3 will helm the screenplay for the blue imps. Considering that the Smurfs are celebrating their 50th anniversary since they were created in 1958, this was a tad late into really capitalizing on the phenomena. Will the world once again welcome the little blue men back? With the right script and out of this world CG-animation, there might be a chance.
