The widely praised Mario franchise may once again become the victim of Hollywood as Nintendo are currently in talks about the production of a new movie, with the poor plumber looking likely to be humiliated twice in one lifetime.
Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures are supposedly close to achieving an agreement with Nintendo in regards to producing a Mario-centric animated movie, giving some fans at least a little hope as the movie will not be live action like the first atrocity from 1993 – though Illumination are responsible for the equally detestable “Minions”.
Further details are lacking – Nintendo of America responded to inquiries with “we have nothing to announce on this topic”, leaving everyone in the dark as usual regarding Hollywood’s schenanigans…
So its going to be worse the original
No one cares.
You know, back then it atleast had an excuse to be as bad as it was. It was new territory for Hollywood. But todays movies have no excuse to keep on turning out one bad video game film after another, as they consistently do with anime movies as well. The issue is, they know its a quick cash grab. They know a good portion of the fan base will go to see it anyways, so they throw something together and wait for their checks. In this cash, yes, I will still see it, lol.
Nintendo’s trying to delete everything to do with that live action Zelda on Netflix while highlighting that they’ll almost certainly block it from being shown at all costs.
They know how much they can’t f♥♥k up Mario and Zelda anymore when it’s their livelihood.
Wuh-oh!
At least they’re doing an animated version. But maybe they’ll get it right this time. But they do need to get Charles Martinet to do the voice of Mario.
