How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris has signed on to appear in the upcoming film The Smurfs, the animated film mixed with live action that will bring the beloved 80′s cartoon to the big screen next year. Filming on The Smurfs begins in April and, very unfortunately, NPH will NOT be playing a Smurf in the film … which is such a shame because he really would make a cute-lookin’ Smurf:

Neil Patrick Harris will star in Sony’s big screen adaptation of The Smurfs, says Deadline Hollywood. He won’t be voicing one of the Smurfs though as the project is a mix of live-action and animation. Harris will play the lead live-action character. The site says that filming begins in April, when Harris will be on hiatus from CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother.” The Raja Gosnell-directed film is scheduled for a July 29, 2011 release. “The Smurfs” were created in 1958 by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, known throughout the world as Peyo. “The Smurfs,” originally called “Les Schtroumpfs” in French, were created for a Belgian series of comic books, first as minor characters. The villagers, known for their blue skin and small statures, spawned a line of statuettes, games, toys, theme parks and a hit TV series, which ran as part of NBC’s Saturday-morning lineup from 1981-90.

AHHHHH … I really wish NPH was playing a Smurf in this film. The mixture of animation and live action has me worried that it will turn out kinda terrible like the Alvin and the Chipmunk movies … or even worse — like the Garfield movie! Ugh!! I’m really not convinced that this Smurfs movie is going to turn out well and may, in fact, mar some of our beloved memories of the original 80′s cartoon. I do take comfort, tho, in the fact that if anyone can make this movie better … it’s Neil Patrick Harris. I guess we’ll have to wait and see … I’m still totally on the fence.
