[I can’t smurfin’ believe it!](http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=17799) > [@](#): > > At the New York junket for Paramount and Nickelodeon Films’ upcoming film based on E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, the film’s producer Jordan Kerner told [ComingSoon.net](http://ComingSoon.net) why he decided to pursue a movie based on the TV cartoon creatures The Smurfs, also for Nickelodeon Films. > > Kerner, who produced films such as Inspector Gadget and George of the Jungle, told us that a “Smurfs” movie is just one of 22 projects he’s currently developing. “It’s being written now so we’re way away from it.” What the smurf are they thinking? Why don’t they just let these little smurfers fade away? ---

That’s pretty smurfing cool. I wonder if the the smurf actors who smurfed the original voices would smurf on for the project. ---

You 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.” ---

The French word for Smurfs is “Schtroumpfs”, which I really enjoy saying for some reason. Schtroumpfs! ---
