Created in 1958 by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford aka Peyo, "The Smurfs" has spawned into comic book series as well as Hanna-Barbera Productions' animated television series. Its movie version will be directed by Raja Gosnell using a script by David N. Weiss, J. David Stem, Jay Sherick and David Ronn.
Neil Patrick Harris has already signed on as the movie's live-action character. Filming was said to start in April as the movie is slated for a U.S. release on July 29, 2011.
