After managing to almost beat out Cowboys & Aliens at the box office a couple weeks ago, The Smurfs now qualifies as a “surprise hit” even though it was marketed to death and aimed squarely at young children who are worth the price of two tickets since at least one parent usually has to tag along. Sony has now given the go ahead to The Smurfs 2 and will release the film on August 2, 2013. Back in June, Steve caught up with The Smurfs director Raja Gosnell and producer Jordan Kerner during which the pair talked about how they had already began penning The Smurfs 2. You can click here to check out his video interview with them and rest assured knowing that two years from now we’ll be getting more tired jokes about how the word “smurf” can be used as a substitute for swear words.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OK, but this time make the whole movie in the smurfs village please.
Not going to happen, the producers already stated the second will continue primarily in the real world.
You don’t mean in the 21st century again do you?
If the movie worked in the city, why changed it? a sequel to the Smurfs ha! They be sorry Disney/Marvel has like 5 movies for 2014!!
I just want to adeventure to tak eplace in the middle ages – the time in which the Smurfs’ have always lived in
Will the adventure take place in the middle ages?
It would be nice to see more of the other smurfs throughout the movie.
ALSO because their timeline in the comics and the cartoon series was set in the middle ages it’s only right that should be a movie of the smurfs in that timeline as well.
Smurftastic
