I'm really shocked by this. Everything else that was cool when I was a kid has made a resurgence in one form or another. Transformers (the greatest playthings ever), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, New Kids on the Block (
I'm not kidding), GI Joe (
wait for it...), Strawberry Shortcake, Rubik's Cube to some extent, and a slew of other rehashed ideas. All of these things may be subject to
Webster's Law of Review, but they have enough marketability in them that they came around for a new generation (as did many other things before, Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo, etc etc).
I don't know how they'd do it, but the rehashing of the Smurfs is bound to happen and bound to be cool. Gargamel is a great bad guy. Bent on eating the Smurfs and turning them into gold or some such. Azrael the cat is an awesome bad guy pet. Doesn't get any better than this.
Maybe
Billy Zane can get work in the retooling. I'm worried about him. What a talent. He needs work. Smurf a brother out.

Wasn't Billy Zane in *Titanic*? I get him and Rupert Everett confused.
I'm checking up on your blog, now, so I expect great things from you. :o)
Billy was in Titanic, but that movie is OLD now.
What has he done for me lately?
Rupert Everett? Puh-lease.
LOL
Sadly Glenn a computer animated Smurfs movie is in the works as we speak. Should be out next year
Is Billy Zane in it?
I knew it wouldn't be too long before they brought it back. Thanks for the heads up.
