Gargamel, it's time to put your big-boy pants on.

The Smurfs, those blue-skinned cartoon gnomes with short tails and white hats, are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a Hollywood movie deal announced on Tuesday by Columbia Pictures.

I don't know how smurfy (yes, smurfy) this movie's going to be, given how successful and yet dreadful Alvin & the Chipmunks was. Still, I would hold on for a very smurfy Smurf movie. Plus, we've got Smurfette to look forward to. I'm going to go ahead and call my shot and pick Jessica Alba. Smurfy.

The as-yet-untitled film will combine live action and animation.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I bet that the word "Smurf" will appear in the title... if only because Quantum of Solace is already taken.
