Not if Shigeru Miyamoto (who is directly involved with this movie) has anything to do with it (we all hope...).oh boy, here comes a million comments that the creators is going to turn this into another ttg
To be fair, Teen Titans Go to the Movies! wasn't too bad, based on what I've heard about the film. The Mario Bros. have have several games with a storyline and lore. The producers should just try to capture the look and feel of the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga games, only in movie form.oh boy, here comes a million comments that the creators is going to turn this into another ttg
That and it's the only TTG content I don't mind.To be fair, Teen Titans Go to the Movies! wasn't too bad, based on what I've heard about the film.
I...I don't know what to say about this .Universal has confirmed the voice cast, and it is STACKED. Super Mario Bros. Movie Lands All-Star Voice Cast: Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen
Chris Pratt and Charlie Day are voicing Mario and Luigi, respectively (Disappointing that Charles Martinet isn't reprising, but if he gets a voice cameo I'll be fine with it.)
Anna Taylor-Joy voicing Princess Peach
Jack Black voicing Bowser (That was surprising.)
Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong
Keegan Michael-Key as Toad (I'll take Black Toad any day)
Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong
Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek
Sebastian Maniscalo as Spike (seems like NDA wasn't an issue)
The movie is officially landing December 21, 2022.
If it makes you feel better, Martinet and Richardson are named in the teaser poster, so Universal is at least giving VOs some respect.I...I don't know what to say about this .
I mean, on paper this cast looks crazy. I mean, hilariously crazy. But at the same time...it feels like such unnecessary celebrity stunt casting.
Like, does anyone really think Chris Pratt is going to sound more authentic as Mario than Charles Martinet? And the guy who has been the voice of Mario for years just gets voice cameos? People are watching the film for Mario, not Chris Pratt.
Like throw actual voice actors a bone for once.
I'm guessing he and Waluigi will be saved for the sequel (if it happens).i want Danny Devito as Wario
I get that, but I felt like from a game fidelity standpoint, if they were really being true to the source he would be upfront as Mario.If it makes you feel better, Martinet and Richardson are named in the teaser poster, so Universal is at least giving VOs some respect.
Pratt is clearly the weirdest of the bunch. He's not even of Italian descent, and he doesn't sound remotely Italian.
Beyond that, the rest of the cast is solid. As far as stunt casting goes, bear in mind Miyamoto almost certainly approved of all these choices since he's executive producer, so Hollywood politics' role in this was comparatively minor.
Sadly yeah, I think they dropped the ball on that.I get that, but I felt like from a game fidelity standpoint, if they were really being true to the source he would be upfront as Mario.
I mean, it's not that I dislike Pratt, but all of this just seems to be typical Hollywood thinking that they need celebrities to sell the movie. But I guess if Miyamoto approved it he must've heard or seen something right in it.
I can honestly forgive garbage casting if the plot and look are good.As some have more or less said, I already don’t like what I’m seeing. Indeed, I’m kind of wondering just how “involved” Shigeru Miyamoto really is, and if he has really “approved” anything. You see everyone, IMHO, we have to consider the possibility that his “involvement” may just be lip service (similar to Jim Davis’ so-called involvement in the live-action Garfield movie); something to reassure those viewers (and gamers) who actually know what it’s really about. There’s a TV Tropes article called “Kicked Upstairs”. Everyone needs to hope that Miyamoto-san wasn’t given this treatment. In any case, we also have to consider the possibility that this may be just another tribute/parody movie that partially doesn’t know what it’s talking about (the “partially” being Miyamoto-san himself). Also, before anyone mentions it, it’s one thing to laugh at yourself, it’s another to do it at the viewers’ (and gamers’) expense as well as at the expense of a legacy you yourself helped to create.
For what it’s worth, however, it’s not that I don’t trust Miyamoto-san, it’s Illumitoon I don’t trust…

If I had to cast a celebrity, I would've casted WWE wrestler Kurt Angle.Mind you, the very idea of Jack Black voicing Bowser is just plain bizarre to me.
