Jayma Mays on the Joy of Smurfs and Future of Glee

Posted on August 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Not counting her miniscule blond counterpart Smurfette, Jayma Mays is the female lead in what may yet turn out to be the past weekend’s number one film. And yet, as a phenomenon, the movie adaptation of The Smurfs pales in the long shadow of Mays’s other gig: As the germophobic guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury on the megahit series Glee . Talk about hitting a Daily Double.

Hank Azaria on The Smurfs, Living Cartoons and the Joys of Cat-Throwing

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Nearly a quarter century of The Simpsons alone have made Hank Azaria one of the more inveterate voice actors in the industry. But what’s the flesh-and-blood Azaria — no slouch himself onscreen over the years — to do when playing a cartoon come to life? That’s one of the dynamics factoring into this week’s live-action/CGI adaptation of The Smurfs , featuring Azaria as the tiny blue title creatures’ arch-nemesis Gargamel.

Neil Patrick Harris on The Smurfs, Fatherhood, and the Potential for Socialist Smurf Sequels

Posted on July 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Actor, singer, magician, talented master of ceremonies, web star… Neil Patrick Harris can pretty much do it all — but can he make the leap into mainstream movie stardom? He’ll find out this month in Sony’s live action-CG adaptation The Smurfs , which sees the famous blue creatures take Manhattan — and the lives of Patrick (Harris) and Grace Winslow (Jayma Mays) — by storm in a modern day-set adventure about appreciating family and stepping into fatherhood.

Smurfs Trailer: Smurf-ity Smurf Smurf, Also Katy Perry as a Smurf

Posted on March 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Based on the full trailer for The Smurfs , I’m guessing that Shrek 2 and Daddy Daycare writers J. David Stern and David N. Weiss scored the most coveted writing gig in Hollywood. At points in the script where most writers may have paced back and forth for hours, struggling for the right words, this team could simply just fill in any blank with the word “smurf.” In just under two minutes, the word is used in four different contexts, only two of which I understood. But will this movie go all the way?

Oprah Winfrey is the Best Boss Ever

Posted on June 16, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Oprah Winfrey just handed out cute bonuses to the staffers at her magazine, regardless of how long they’d worked for her: an Apple iPad, a leather iPod case embossed with the employee’s initials, and a check for $10,000. Pretty amazing. Unfortunately, now the O staff is obligated to say the “OWN” network doesn’t sound creepy. [ Gawker ]

Smurfs Trailer Debuts New, Tone-Loc-Sampling Theme Song

Posted on June 16, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Hope you didn’t get your hopes up about that Smurfs teaser trailer: it has arrived (via Yahoo ), and it has about two seconds more of Smurfage than could be gleaned via today’s first still . But! There is a brief snatch of the new theme song, and it’s been remixed with Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing,” because why wouldn’t it be? (Here is why: because the Alvin and the Chipmunks sequel already took “Single Ladies.”)

The rest is here:

Hank Azaria Unveils His Gargamel

Posted on April 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Last month, Hank Azaria told Movieline what he’s got planned for his live-action spin on Gargamel in the Smurfs movie, and now there’s physical proof. Paparazzi snapped pictures of the actor in costume on the film’s NYC set, and…yeah, he looks pretty Gargamel-y. [ Coming Soon ]
