Smurfs Movie Adds a Third Dimension

The Smurfs have been making their way to the big screen for a while, but it now looks like they’ll be arriving in 3-D.

Columbia Pictures is planning to release the CG/live-action hybrid, known now as Smurfs 3-D, on Dec. 17, 2010, according to ComingSoon.net.

The film, to be directed by Colin Brady from a script by David Stern and David Weiss, is based on the comic strip characters created by Belgian artist Peyo. The strip inspired countless toys, accessories and a popular 1980s animated TV series.
