Illumination's Super Mario movie

[TheVileOne]

I read that Mario's game voice actor will have a cameo in this I am calling it now, he will probably be playing a character in the 'real world' outside the mushroom kingdom.

This is set in the real world.

I saw some fun fan casts for a donkey Kong movie last night. Like Anna Faris as Dixie and Kevin smith for funky kong

 

[Lily Adler]

My mind boggled at how many different Mario game references were in this new trailer. Which was pretty awesome. Made it look pretty obvious that the filmmakers have been longtime fans of the franchise going all the way back to the very first NES game.

I'm surprised there's been no reveal of Yoshi yet though. Hoping they're saving that for the final release!

If they don't reference these, it's dead to me!

 

[Arachnerd]

Nice of the princess to invite us over for a picnic, (g)ay Luigi?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

That newest trailer was much better. Loved the Mario Kart nod!

Pratt just sounds like Pratt and even as someone who likes the guy it feels off for Mario. But we will just have to get used to it I guess.

 

[GothamCity]

Still no Crash Bandicoot film, that would be funny.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

This honestly looks incredible. I hope it does great at the box office.

 

[Arachnerd]

Still no Crash Bandicoot film, that would be funny.

One day, hopefully.

 

[Silvermoth]

A Spyro movie would also be fun.

but Donkey Kong first!

 

[Lily Adler]

Would Crash go to Sony Pictures or Universal and Illumination?

Don't you guys have Netflix?

Would Crash go to Sony Pictures or Universal and Illumination?

Technically, Activision owns the Crash Bandicoot franchise. So it could soon be in the hands of Microsoft.

 

[Arachnerd]

Chris Pratt continues to sound bored, but Jack Black's delivery of that Bowser line was actually legit intimidating.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah. I wonder if he could voice baby bowser as well in the sequel?

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Silvermoth]

Uh oh I hate to think what playing Furiosa turned her into

 

[Arachnerd]

I will only believe that once I see physical proof of her having the time of her life playing Mario Kart.

 

[NotNickFury]

Uh oh I hate to think what playing Furiosa turned her into

A few rounds of Double Dash alone would prepare her for both roles.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I hope we get a lot of merchandise for this film.

 

[Bran The Man]

Me too! I hope Universal and Nintendo goes wild with the merchandising! Especially with this movie and Super Nintendo World opening early next year.

 

[Silvermoth]

I would certainly love a donkey Kong plush

 

[Drizzle]

They could just get lazy with it and slap the movie's logo on pre-existing merchandise like the plushes you'd find at the Nintendo store in NYC and they'd still make a ton of cash.

 

[NotNickFury]

Let's get some Mario Kart figures based on what we get in the film!

I absolutely see Nintendo cashing in on the advertising for this movie, not just with merch they already have, but what they could rebrand and create for this film.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I would certainly love a donkey Kong plush

You and me both.

I reckon the whole reason they’ve changed the design just slightly is to specifically have merch for the movie as well as the games. So fingers crossed
