I Keep Waiting For Her To Text Me

by

The 2025 release of the latest Smurfs film promises yet another animated spectacle brimming with big-name talent. Beyond Rihanna’s high-profile role as Smurfette and her return to music in this movie, an impressive roster of stars graces the screen. In an interview with TopMob, one of these stars, Natasha Lyonne from Poker Face, shared some amusing thoughts on joining the cast.

As for any Smurf dinner parties in the future, I can neither confirm nor deny.

I can’t help but express my excitement about Billie Lourd planning a trip to Disneyland! I’d find that utterly thrilling. You see, I’ve always held a soft spot for the Smurfs, and I’m just wondering if they might have a presence there. Frankly, I’m not entirely sure how that would work, but who knows?

Reminding me of those times spent with Nick Offerman and John Goodman as we illuminated the Empire State Building brings back such joyous memories! And let’s not forget my deep admiration for Amy Sedaris. Oh, the day when Rihanna sends me a text! I eagerly await that moment, but alas, it hasn’t arrived yet. Can you shed some light on this, Sarah? When do you think she might reach out to me? Surely, it will be soon, won’t it?

If Natasha Lyonne is wondering why Rihanna isn’t reaching out to her, it seems there might be some confusion between them. To be clear, we don’t have that kind of relationship. Imagine working alongside such talented actors and not even getting the chance to meet them! Natasha Lyonne admitted that she’s managed to connect with a few of them during promotional events, but Rihanna remains something of a mystery to her. As she went on:

It seems she’s organizing the dinner right now. By the way, you know, I’ll be meeting Kurt Russell there, I assume that’s where we’ll run into each other. That makes sense. (Alternatively, “It looks like she’s setting up dinner at this moment. Incidentally, I’ll be encountering Kurt Russell there, which must mean our paths will cross.”)

Recently, Natasha Lyonne has found herself swamped with work, juggling roles in “Poker Face” Season 2, “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” and voicing a character in the upcoming animated film “The Bad Guys 2.” She expressed delight and surprise when she discovered she was desired for a role in a “Smurfs” movie, but clarified that she won’t be taking on the role of a Smurf. Here’s her character description:

When asked about possibly being in the same room as Rihanna and Russell at a hypothetical Smurfs gathering, I also voiced my thoughts.

To put it simply, I might act as if everything is fine, but the truth is, I’d love to attend that event because John Carpenter directed Escape from New York and she’s known for her fantastic hit songs. In fact, I would be thrilled if she composed music for a remake of Escape From New York.

In this version, I’ve aimed to preserve the original meaning while using simpler language and a more conversational tone. The phrase “play it pretty normal” has been rephrased as “act as if everything is fine,” and the idea of excitement about a crossover or remake has been emphasized by adding “I would be thrilled” instead of just “I’d be excited.” Additionally, I’ve replaced “he made that movie” with “John Carpenter directed Escape from New York” to make it clearer who the director is.

It appears that Lyonne might be the one who could unite the entire cast and potentially collaborate with them on future ventures, given her mention alongside Rihanna and Kurt Russell. Meanwhile, the latest Smurfs film revolves around Corden’s character, “No Name Smurf,” who strives to discover his unique talents like the other Smurfs in their village. However, an unexpected magical ability he develops results in Papa Smurf getting kidnapped, prompting the Smurfs to embark on a mission to save him and safeguard the universe as well.
