Mario tries again on the big screen. The famous Nintendo character returns to theaters, this time in animation and from the hands of Illumination Entertainment, the studio behind ‘Despicable Me’, ‘The Minions’, ‘Pets’ or ‘Sing!’. “Super Mario Bros .: The Movie” has finally released its first trailerreleased during a Nintendo Direct focused exclusively on this new plumber adventure where we won’t need controls:
In the preview we see Bowser, voiced by Jack Black, colonizing a world full of penguins with his koopa army (flashback of Vietnam from ‘Mario 64’). The video game villain and professional princess kidnapper asks who will stop him, and that’s when we jump into the Mushroom Kingdom.. Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) recruits Mario and the adventure begins. Little filmed, but they leave us one last scene with Luigi (Charlie Day) chased by koopa skeletons and a very “Luigi’s Mansion” air. What do you think of this first look? It is certainly very faithful to the style of video games, but the hand of Illumination is noticeable in the facial expressions.
The first of many?
Aaron Horvath (“Teen Titans Go! The Movie”) and Michael Jelenic are the directors of this ambitious film that Nintendo has been involved in from the very beginning. ‘Super Mario Bros .: The Movie’ is the first audiovisual project that the Japanese company has in this new phase, but They’ve already hinted that other characters in their console’s long history will also be making the leap to the big and small screen..
In the case of Mario’s film, the mustachioed hero will play in the original version with the voice of Chris Pratt. Princess Peach will be voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy. Charlie Day will be Luigi. Jack Black will play Bowser. Toad will be voiced by Keegan-Michael Key. Seth Rogen will play Donkey Kong. Fred Armisen in Cranky Kong. Kevin Michael Richardson to Kamek. Sebastian Maniscalco to Spike. And we will also listen to Charles Martinet, Mario’s voice in video games. K? Ji Kond?, The game’s composer, is working with Brian Tyler so that the soundtrack also reminds us of all those hours of pressing buttons.
“Super Mario Bros .: The Movie” will be released. in theaters March 2023 from the hand of Universal Pictures.
