Alot of people didnt like the 90's version of Super Mario Bros Movie... personally i think it had its moments.
But i was wondering if such a movie could exist? back then special effects was bad, but with todays technology i think it could be really good.
What i actually liked about the movie was the fact that you had two normal plumbers from our earth, end up in the alternate dimension "Mushroom land" where the place is under the dictatorship of Bowser. But where it went wrong is how they invisioned it. To me i can see the movie studio at the time thinking, people loved total recall and blade runner... lets make a movie set in that kind of futuristic world... then someone came in saying hey i want to make a mario movie... then you had one of the excutives sat there looking like peter griffin imagining a futuristic world that resembles total recall and in the other mario... a long drawn out thought process then all of a sudden he puts his hands together and makes an "Ooooh" sound.

The problem with Super Mario was that it doesnt really have to much background and story other than two plumbers mario and luigo yet both mario brothers which could only suggest that there last name is mario. ends up plumbing one day finds themselves in a mushroom world filled with dinosaures...

It needs re-imagining... not for the game, i think that simpleness is what keeps its coolness for game playing. But for a movie you need more story.

So ive thought about it and it occured to me...
If you were to make a movie like this, then you dont really need a complex story...
look at doctor parnasses movie. normal world but walk through a mirror and you have this weird world.... to me thats how Mario should be... you follow normal life then thrown into Mushroom kindom.
so would anyone be interested in a mario movie?
