A new Smurfs movie is in the works at Paramount – and Rihanna is set to take on a starring (voice) role as Smurfette. The news broke at this year's CinemaCon when Rihanna took to the conference stage with Paramount Animation head Ramsey Naito. "I tried to get the Papa Smurf ꧅role but It didn’t work out," she joked.
Rihanna will also write and record original songs for the movie, as well as producing the film. Shrek the Third and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Puss in Boots helmer Chris Miller will direct and South Park w𒀰riter Pam Brady penned the script. Per , Naito said that the movie would explore themes of identity and ask the central question, 'what is a Smurf?'.
The last time the Smurfs appeared on the big screen was in Sony's duo of live-action/animation hybrid movies, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2, which were released in 2011 and ꦗ2013 and featured a cast including Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria and the voices of Ka🔴ty Perry, Alan Cumming, and Anton Yelchin. A third movie was planned for 2015 but then canceled, and a reboot, Smurfs: The Lost Village, with a new cast, was released in 2017 instead.
This isn't Rihanna's first voice acting gig – she appeared in Home, the 2015 Dreamworks movie, alongside Jim Parsons, Steve Martin, and Jennifer Lopez. More recently, she recorded the song 'Lift Me Up' for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which was nominated for Best Origin🃏al Song🐷 at this year's Oscars.
The Smurfs Movie is set to hit the big screen on February 14, 2025. In the meantime, check out our guide to this year's most highly anticipated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.
