I actually hope this is successful mainly because I hope Illumination gets the right to the one game that would be so easy to turn in a movie (Mother) and I also think they would do it justice.
Inside the ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Movie, Animated Pharrell Williams Film – Variety
Miyamoto is apparently front & center on working with Meledandri, as the film is possibly going to hit by 2022.
Dec 21 is my birthday. What a nice gift that would be.Illumination currently has two release dates announced for untitled films in 2022, July 1st and December 21st so presumably one of those will be the Mario movie.
And could potentially tie in nicely with the launch of SNW in Orlando
Not debating the quality of Illuminations vs Dreamworks, but if they wanted $$$, the box office for Illumination is insanely stronger. Not even close.I have sooo many doubts about this film...this studio whole thing was at least "make cheap animated movies"
Nintendo usually want quality but wish it was a better studio like Dreamworks which has Panda and Dragon under them which are a really good films
No Charles no buy.I was wondering: could they hire Charles Martinet for this or would they be a different actor for Mario? Would they be Mario in a speaking role like the old Super Mario cartoons?
It seems we finally know who's involved with directing this film, as Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic have been seemingly leaked by linkedin to be tapping the film on the director's level.
Aaron and Michael, involved with Teen Titans Go, would make this their second major motion picture film together; as Aaron Horvath was the co-director of Teen Titans Go: To The Movies, along with co-writing TTG's film with Jelenic.
