8 Gritty Movie Reboots We'd Secretly Love

8. The Smurfs

Anyone with any semblance of sense will know that the recent Smurfs movies were an abomination to the world of cinema. They were the sort of movies that you felt made you actively lose intelligence simply from watching the trailers. So it's only fair that the Smurfs have a second crack at the whip, but this time, they'll mean business. Premise: Hard times have fallen on Smurf Village; a tragic Smurfing (literally anything) accident caused by the advances of the tyrant Gargamel led to the deaths of all the females of the Smurf population. Papa Smurf must toil against all the odds to find any surviving lady Smurf, ultimately discovering that one remains, Smurfette, trapped in the castle of the aforementioned fiend. Cue a blue Lord Of The Rings quest, as the bearded leader of Smurfs strives for the future of his people. Cast: Jeff Bridges (Papa Smurf), John Malkovich (Gargamel), Amanda Seyfried (Smurfette)
