Smurfs Movie Announced For February 14th, 2025, Starring Rihanna
A new Smurfs movie is coming to the big screen in 2025, and Rihanna will be voicing Smurfette in the new film.
Smurfs fans rejoice; you are returning to the big screen. Announced on stage at the Paramount presentation at CinemaCon, everyone's favorite blue people will grace the big screen again on Valentine's Day, 2025. Not only that, mega-star Rihanna will star as Smurfette, and also produce. Pam Brady wrote the script, and Chris Miller will direct. Three previous films set in the Smurf universe combined to gross over $1 billion combined at the worldwide box office, so theater owners will love getting another one, especially with the star power Rihanna brings to the table.
Rihanna Brings Major Star Power To Smurfs
"Since taking its first step in 2011, CinemaCon has evolved and grown to become the largest and most important gathering for the worldwide motion picture theater industry. CinemaCon is truly a global event attracting attendees from more than 80 countries. On behalf of CinemaCon, the Official Convention of The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), we extend our sincerest appreciation and gratitude to the entire motion picture theater industry for helping to make the past eleven years so successful. And now, as we gear up for our eleventh show, the excitement continues when CinemaCon returns to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas from 24 April – 27 April 2023 for what is sure to be our biggest convention to date. From exclusive Hollywood product presentations debuting a slate of upcoming films, to must-see premiere feature screenings, to the biggest stars, producers, and directors, CinemaCon will jumpstart the excitement and buzz that surrounds the holiday season (and beyond) at the box office."
I can only imagine how excited my daughter is right now. This combines two of her favorite things, Smurfs and Rihanna. When I tell her, she is going to lose it. Valentine's Day 2025 is a long ways away, though. More from CinemaCon all day long.
