Paramount Develops Smurfs
Paramount has acquired film rights to the vintage cartoon characters The Smurfs and is setting up development of a 3-D computer-animated movie with producer Jordan Kerner and Nickelodeon Movies, Variety reported.
Producers have conceived the project as a trilogy and are aiming to release the first film in 2008 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of The Smurfs, the trade paper reported.
Par has tapped Herb Ratner (Mr. Lucky) to write the script.
The Smurfs originated in 1958 as a Belgian comic strip from Peyo (Pierre) Culliford. NBC launched The Smurfs in 1981, spawning 256 episodes and multiple Emmy awards, the trade paper reported.
