The Smurf Movie: Dark Blue


The Greek mentioned in yesterday’s Smurf discussion an upcoming trilogy previously under the working title of Smurfs Return. I have managed to get an inside scoop via my deep connections in the industry. I don’t want to divulge any information about my secret source, but he’s definitely in the know. We’ll just refer to his last name (Spielberg) to keep his identity secret.

Spielberg said that the actual title of the movie will be Dark Blue reflecting a bleak side to our little friends. Faced with the death of Smurfette and a civil war, the Smurfs must struggle with survival and ultimately destroy Gargamel’s book. Spielberg mentioned that although the theme song “La La La La Laaa” will be featured in the movie, it will be played in a minor key and likely rescored by Danny Elfman so that it rings true to the movie’s darker tone.

Apparently Gargamel kills Smurfette and turns her back to his side (again) by raising her from the dead as Undead Smurf. They haven’t decided if she’ll be blond or brunette yet but there’s talk that Bruckheimer wants her rotting and bald.

Also, he mentioned that Gargamel recruits some devious Smurfs from the other side of the Mushroom patch. One Gunner Smurf, another Violent Smurf and another Gangsta Smurf. They’re still in the sketching stage for all of them.

I also stumbled upon some potential movie art (still in sketch form as well) and heard that they’re thinking of using the tagline “This Time They’re Not Smurfin’ Around”. Sounds like a must see if they pull it off right. I think that may be Papa in the foreground and he sure looks ticked off.
