ScreenRant interviews Smurfs director Chris Miller about Rihanna’s involvement in the sequel as a producer and star of the rebooted franchise.

These details sounded a lot like “The Smurfs,” the dreadful 2011 movie that marked the last time the Smurfs were at your local bijou. In that film, Katy Perry played Smurfette and Jonathan Winters was cast as Papa Smurf. Their real world adventure placed them in the Smurfiest place in America, New York City.

The very pregnant 37-year-old icon walked the blue carpet at the Paramount Theater with her two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 1. The film, which hears Rihanna voice the character Smurfette, was celebrated with the cast and a few life-size Smurfs making an appearance.

The filmmaker is responsible for bringing the blue crew back to the big screen for another adventure with a star-studded cast, including John Goodman as Papa Smurf alongside James Corden, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Dan Levy, Sandra Oh and Hannah Waddingham.

On May 16, Rihanna released the song "Friend of Mine" as part of the upcoming Smurfs movie soundtrack. The synth-heavy song features lyrics about friendship and a music video filled with psychedelic graphics, bright colors and dancing Smurfs, including Rihanna as Smurfette.

Rihanna hit the “Smurfs” premiere with an adorable son on each arm.

Smurfs' features corny jokes and childish humor, which is exactly what is going to ensure it is a hit with children, although parents might struggle.

A pregnant Rihanna hit the red carpet for the first time with both sons, introducing RZA & Riot to Papa Smurf at the L.A. 'Smurfs' movie premiere.

Rihanna is thrilled that Smurfs is "finally being birthed". The 37-year-old star voices the part of Smurfette in the new animated movie, and Rihanna is delighted that her kids can now finally enjoy the movie.

Rihanna says she’s hoping to score some “cool points” with her kids after voicing Smurfette in the new “Smurfs” movie.
