Actually Gerda, the xbox game isn't out yet (at least not in the UK)..Sony bought the rights to it and it only came out on Playstation 3

I think it is out on WII isn't it?

[steveparkes]

Yeah it is out on the Wii also..it's the whole Playstation vs xbox debate..Sony are trying to get one over on microsoft by securing the game for it.

[Azrael]

I've got Ghostbuters on Xbox mate and I'm from England. It's region free and I got it off ebay for 40 quid.

Plus, it's BRILLIANT!

Also, Ghostbusters 3 will actually have all the cast. It is written by Ramis and Ackroyd and also the guys that write the American Office. They say the girl from SNL is in it as well, but I don't remember her name.

Also, we can obviously put money on a (rubbish!) Smurf game as it's SONY.

[steveparkes]

Cheers Al, I've just bought one on ebay..I'm really looking forward to playing it..I didn't realise the US version would play on UK systems

[Azrael]

Wolverine Director of Photography Signed on to Smurfs

Director of Photography Donald McAlpine (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Moulin Rouge) has just been signed on as the first addition to the Smurfs production team since director Raja Gosnell (Scoobie Doo) was tapped in early July to helm the picture. Smurfs is due to be released Dec. 17 2010 in 3-D and 2-D format and is expected to begin production this Fall.

McAlpine and Gosnell worked together on Mrs. Doubtfire and Nine Months but this will be McAlpine's first time working with Gosnell as director.

Armchair Casting Director: 'The Smurfs Movie'

The A.C.D. is taking a rare detour to movieland to bring you exclusive scoop on (natch) The Smurfs Movie – specifically, details about the two lead roles currently being cast. Beware, the following info contains plot spoilers...

SOPHIE: A pre-teen girl who possesses enormous smarts and great imagination, but who is socially and physically clumsy. She discovers that the doll her dad brought home from Belgium is actually a living, breathing Smurf. And not just any Smurf -- Clumsy Smurf! Sophie tries to get her mom and dad to embrace Clumsy as a member of the family, but ultimately realizes what he really wants is to reunite with his fellow Smurfs.

SAM: Sophie's 15-year-old brother. He's a good kid, but has a tendency to be difficult and withdrawn. He gets involved in helping Clumsy return home and, as a result, bonds with his sister.

[Smurfysmurf]

Sounds like the movie will be less about the smurfs than the two kids

[steveparkes]

I'm getting visions of toy story with live actors here

[bwalters]

I'm not sure who this is that posted this on MV but I moved it here for them.
Hey all Smurfy D Here I was going to post this news over at the Blue Imps smurf forums but I forgot my password and cannot log in...anyway.. I got a insider tip that Matthew Broderick, James Caan, and Dakota Fanning have been confirmed for The Smurfs Movie what roles they have been casted in weren't giving the movie is still in the casting phase with filming to begin in new york this fall.

I'm guessing

Matthew Broderick-Hefty Smurf
James Caan-Papa Smurf
Dakota Fanning-Smurfette
