The highly-anticipated “Super Mario Bros. Movie” is set to hit theaters in 2023, bringing to life the iconic characters and world of the beloved video game franchise on the big screen once again.
The film is directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Illumination Entertainment, the same studio behind “Despicable Me” and “The Secret Life of Pets”. And with this level of talent behind the project, expectations are high for what promises to be a visually stunning and entertaining take on the classic video game series.
But what can we expect from the Super Mario Bros. Movie? Based on what we know so far, it looks like it will be a blend of live-action and animation, much like the original 1993 film, which starred Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as the titular Mario and Luigi.
In this new film, we’ll see Mario and Luigi team up with their friends Princess Peach and Toad, as they journey through various worlds in the Mushroom Kingdom to stop the evil Bowser from taking over.
One of the most exciting aspects of the new Super Mario Bros. Movie is the cast. The lead role of Mario will be played by Chris Pratt, known for his roles in blockbuster hits such as “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World”. Actor Charlie Day will portray Luigi, while actress Anya Taylor-Joy will play Princess Peach. Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and more are set to join the cast of the film.
Behind the scenes, the film has a talented team of writers and producers with credits on hit movies like “Frozen”, “Toy Story”, and “Zootopia”. And with Steven Spielberg at the helm, it’s likely that he’ll bring his signature style to the Super Mario Bros. franchise, making it a truly memorable and enjoyable film.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been in the works for quite some time, with its release date pushed back several times. But with the current release date set for 2023, fans are gearing up for what could become a new classic in the world of video game movie adaptations.
While it’s hard to predict the exact outcome of the film, one thing is for sure: the hype for it is real. With a talented cast and crew, and the backing of both Nintendo and Universal Pictures, the film has the potential to wow both fans of the video game franchise and newcomers to the Mushroom Kingdom alike.
It will be fascinating to see how the live-action and animated elements blend together, and how the story and characters will be portrayed on the big screen. Will the new Super Mario Bros. Movie be able to overcome the reputation of the previous attempt at bringing the characters to life in a film format? Only time will tell.
Regardless, the 2023 release of the Super Mario Bros. Movie is something to look forward to, and it’s exciting to see such iconic characters and worlds come to life once again. Fans of the video game series and moviegoers alike should definitely mark their calendars for this one.
