As a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia hearing about the upcoming reboot of The Smurfs Movie. With Chris Miller at the helm, a director whose work on Shrek, Madagascar, and Puss in Boots has left an indelible mark on my formative years, I’m confident that this film will be a delightful return to a beloved franchise.
Are you ready for another Smurfs movie – called The Smurfs Movie?
Indeed, it’s quite surprising! We’re looking at yet another adaptation of the beloved characters, the Smurfs. This upcoming film is essentially a fresh start or reimagining for the Smurfs series and is slated to hit screens in the 2025 lineup.
1. What might the storyline of this upcoming movie be, and which actors will be featured in the voice cast for the latest animation? Here’s what we know so far, and here’s what you can anticipate!
What Is The Smurfs Movie Release Date?
Based on Deadline’s report, “The Smurfs Movie” is set to premiere on February 14, 2025. So, make your Valentine’s Day special by enjoying a romantic dinner with your loved ones, followed by watching some cute and peculiar blue-skinned characters at the movie theater!
On Valentine’s Day, “The Smurfs Movie” hit the screens, and it turns out to be an excellent choice for viewers looking for something different from the usual offerings at that time. The only other major release around then is the latest Marvel film, “Captain America: Brave New World“, which is likely to appeal to a distinct audience compared to those interested in watching “The Smurfs Movie”.
Apart from that, another version of Romeo and Juliet is set to release – it’s called Verona’s Romeo and Juliet. In my opinion, people will likely choose between catching the latest Marvel movie or The Smurfs film instead.
The Smurfs Movie Cast
Prepare yourself as the cast for The Smurfs Movie promises to be exceptionally extraordinary! Here are the voices you’ll recognize:
Rihanna As Smurfette
In April 2023, it was confirmed that Rihanna, renowned singer and businesswoman, will take on the role of Smurfette in an upcoming movie. Previously, she has acted in films such as Battleship, Home, Ocean’s 8, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Recently, Rihanna hasn’t been much associated with films, but her absence from the silver screen doesn’t diminish her influence. In 2023, she stole the show at the Super Bowl Half-Time performance, and despite not putting out new music for nearly a decade, she has built a strong reputation across various sectors, such as cosmetics, skincare, fashion, and beyond.
On the other hand, I’m quite excited to watch her in a fresh movie part because it’s been quite some time since we’ve had the chance to see her on screen – or, alternatively, hear her voice as she takes on the role of Smurfette.
The Rest Of The Smurfs Movie Cast
Although only Rihanna’s role has been officially announced, the cast for The Smurfs Movie is indeed exciting. Here are the actors you can look forward to:
- Nick Offerman (the Parks and Recreation cast)
- Natasha Lyonne (The Orange is the New Black cast and Poker Face)
- JP Karliak (Trolls: TrollsTopia)
- Dan Levy (the Schitt’s Creek cast)
- Amy Sedaris (The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Strangers with Candy)
- Nick Kroll (Big Mouth, Human Resources, The League)
- James Corden (The Late Late Show With James Corden, Into The Woods)
- Octavia Spencer (The Help, The Shape of Water)
- Hannah Waddingham (the Ted Lasso cast, The Fall Guy)
- Sandra Oh (Killing Eve, Grey’s Anatomy)
- Alex Winter (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, The Lost Boys)
- Billie Lourd (American Horror Story, Star Wars)
- Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai, Blue Beetle)
- Kurt Russell (Sky High, The Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood)
- John Goodman (Monsters Inc., The Artist, Atomic Blonde)
Wow, what a stellar ensemble! It’s hard to imagine how fantastic this film could potentially be with so many talented voices behind the characters. I’m confident we’re in for a treat and will savor every moment of it.
What Is The Smurfs Movie About?
Of course, with a movie like “The Smurfs”, it’s natural to wonder about its storyline – unfortunately, details about the plot are still scarce as we haven’t been provided with much information yet, not even a trailer to give us a sneak peek.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, it’s clear that the upcoming movie is a revival of the Smurfs series, inspired by Peyo’s comic characters. The film has a straightforward concept: it’s both comedic and musical, exploring a single question – what, fundamentally, makes a Smurf?
It sounds like we are about to get existential, and I am here for it.
Chris Miller Is Directing, With Matt Landon Co-Directing
According to The Hollywood Reporter, it’s Chris Miller who will be directing the upcoming “The Smurfs Movie.” If you’re wondering who this person is, let me tell you that he played a significant role in shaping many of the movies I grew up with.
Miller has spent numerous years honing his skills as an animator and storyboard artist, primarily at DreamWorks for over a decade. He contributed significantly to all the Shrek movies, even directing Shrek the Third and Puss in Boots. Additionally, he was part of the team that worked on the Madagascar films as well.
Beyond that, he’s also lent his voice to other movies such as Turbo, The Boss Baby, Monsters vs. Aliens, among others. I have a hunch that The Smurfs Movie is in capable hands, and truthfully, this only increases my anticipation.
We also know that Matt Landon will co-direct the film.
Pam Brady Wrote The Smurfs Movie
The latest update on “The Smurfs Movie” was shared by Deadline in February 2022, revealing that Pam Brady has penned the script for the film. If you’re unfamiliar with her work, get ready – as this suggests (hopefully) a comedic take on the movie!
Known primarily for her contributions to the “South Park” series, Brady was a writer for the show during its initial two seasons. In addition, she has lent her writing talents to various other television shows including “Mr. Wong, Go Fish,” “Lady Dynamite,” “Neighbors from Hell,” and many more. Her portfolio also includes work on films such as “Hot Rod” and “Hamlet 2,” among others.
To be honest, being a fan of the early seasons of South Park and appreciating Brady’s work elsewhere, I’m genuinely excited to find out what she contributes to The Smurfs Movie.
As a huge Smurfs fan, count me in for catching The Smurfs Movie when it hits theaters on Valentine’s Day, 2025! I can hardly wait to see what adventures await our beloved blue friends on the big screen!
