Neil Patrick Harris
To be honest, I originally had not interest in the upcoming CG Smurfs movie, even when that first conceptual image leaked. But making Neil Patrick Harris the title character? Holy cow, that is awesome!

I don't know who Smurfs: The Movie is being made for, but I expect the age demo ranging from eighteen to thirty-six have to be stoked. Neil Patrick Harris, who will long be remembered as Dr. Horrible and the scene involving him snorting a line of cocaine of a stripper's back out of the sunroof of a moving vehicle, has supposedly been cast for the movie. According to Deadline Hollywood:
Neil Patrick Harris has a TV-heavy resume. Now he's just landed the lead in Smurfs: The Movie for Sony. Harris won’t have to walk around as a blue-tinted Avatar, either. The Raja Gosnell-directed film is a mix of live action and animation, and Harris is the lead live action character. Filming begins in April, when he’ll be on hiatus from CBS' How I Met Your Mother.
