The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Mario will be making his way to the cinema in a new deal with Universals Illumination. Illumination help make animated movies and its close to reaching an agreement with Nintendo on a deal.
Thanks to N-Dub Nation for the tip!
Someone quick! [Insert the “Dear God, please noooo!” MICHEAL SCOTT gif here please!]
😎
No because we don’t even saw a trailer.
Also from my spies I found an important information. God Shigeru Miyamoto is also working on this movie. So no worries.
Not Illumination… :/
I am fairly certain it was confirmed several years back that Mario will appear “in an major way” in the next Wreck It Ralph -movie.
Now I don’t know when that (potentially) will happen, but it will be interesting to see the difference between the portrayals (if either of them happen).
I heard that illumination does movies in the cheapest way. Their movies have got around 70% on rotten tomatoes.
That’s not exactly a bad score.
thats a good score…
Mario is illuminati confirmed
I was just reading the multiple claims about a Mario movie… from seven years ago. I won’t believe it until I see proof.
Will Yoshi eat a fully grown sentient humanoid person a live? Because if not, I’m going to stick with the Bob Hoskins clown fest.
I was hoping DreamWorks or Blue Sky, but at least it isn’t Pixar. Before people get huffy, Pixar have changed into a company trying to make you cry, and that is it. DreamWorks at least can develop a story and Blue Sky gave a true to form Peanuts movie. Illumination can… Make it fun, hopefully. Just need to avoid fart jokes, serious actor casting, like Sandra Bullock, edgy tattooed pigs, adult content, and political agenda… i guess everything they have done in the past.
Sandra Bullock? I can’t stand her acting. Of all the actors out there, that’s who you come up with? Well, to each their own.
||Quadraxis movie or nothing…||
It’s Nerf or nothing!
You mean make Metroid Prime 2 live action with Quadraxis getting it’s ass royally handed to?
That actor is so awesome! So awesome, in fact, that you can’t WAIT to see his character bite the dust!
“Blue Sky”
Try looking at how mediocre the Ice Age franchise is now and you might want to change your mind.
I think after the 3rd one, they really should’ve stopped.
Mario = Illuminati?! I should’ve known! XD
Also, Mario as a movie? Bad idea unless it’s 3D animated, cast Charles with limited dialog, NO SUNSHINE-LIKE VOICE ACTING and a simple “peach gets kidnapped” plot with some other subplot like Mario Bros. 3. I don’t mind if they make a movie heavily based on Bros. 3 which is my favorite Mario game of all time next to World, 64 and Galaxy.
Home about having as much dialog as Sonic.
This is a big-budget MOVIE. M-O-V-I-E! Not a player-controls-Mario-therefore-IS-Mario experience. And this isn’t a tiny plant-finding robot from a doomed crater which was once Planet Earth.
How about a toad movie where he screams and screeches at the audience for an hour and a half instead?
The minion movies already do that, which coincidentally, are made by Illumination.
Hey! I like the Minions! Besides, that’s more along the line of how the Rabbids do on a movie or television show. lol
ehhhh lol, I like the despicable me movies, but the minions themselves I cant stand.
What I’ve seen of Illumination has been mostly “meh” to bland to dull to corporate. I’m a little skeptical to say the least.
Minions.
I would only hope they have a good amount of creative control.
I hope the story is fun… it doesn’t have to play into the game stories because they are quite simple and repetitive. So, I would prefer something quirky and fun. Bring on the MARIO MOVIE!!! :D
At least the good news is that Sony Pictures Animation is no longer involved in that film project.
Theyre better than illimunation to be honest.
*illumination
As long as Martinet is involved and Mario looks the same way he does in this article’s image.
Given the Universal theme parks deal, this makes sense.
Didnt even think about that. Makes sense.
This will be better than the other Mario movie.
By a frighteningly small margin.
Calm down guys. If they base it off of something like the first 3 paper mario games, or Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, we could VERY well be onto something.
The guys that brought us the awesome Minions? I’m cool with this!
