We don't know the plot yet, maybe Bowser has stolen Mario's rear end and he has to go on a quest to get it back

I'm dying to know what Pratt's Mario sounds like.


Weirdly enough, I'll be fine with Charlie Day using his own voice for Luigi. It's not an accurate voice but in my head it fits.

Yeah, that's the thing. Charlie Day as Luigi? It's weird, but I can picture it in my mind's eye. I have never heard Anya Taylor-Joy's voice in my life, but like, they never do anything real out there with women's voices in these animated movies. Jack Black as Bowser was perfectly formed in my head before you finished the sentence.

But Chris Pratt as Mario...

Say Watt?

Maybe he surprises everyone like how Bradley Cooper came out of nowhere with an awesome Rocket Raccoon but I'm just expecting Chris Pratt's regular voice. Best I can hope for is that he sing-talks all of Mario's lines like he's performing a Mouserat song.

It wouldn't really be a shocker if it's good.

Everyone got hung up on the Pratt voice thing, but it's being made by Illumination and some directors with strong resumes.

what's the funniest outcome of the Mario movie; it releases and is hated so much that it kills video game movies for another 30 years again or its beloved so much that it manages to kill Sonics only source of revenue again

Personally I think the funniest outcome is Illumination bows to pressure on Assgate and we have to change all our marketing material that's already locked.

Right now this has "boringly competent" written all over it. I'd be shocked if anything interesting happens outside of the extremely mid controversy of Chris Pratt voicing an Italian with insufficiently large buttocks


Hell, even the Sonic movie managed to bounce back from what initially seemed like a PR trainwreck. These things are too big to fail.

I guess I never realized how important penguins were to the Mario franchise… so important that you’d front load your first look trailer with them rather than say, anything else from the series.

Okay, I guess it's basically confirmed that the animation studio thinks Americans won't see an animated film unless it has a celebrity voice as the lead. The French version of the movie, Mario sounds exactly like Mario.

The reason they hire celebrity faces instead of voice actors is because their actual job is to promote the film and they need to be in the cast in order to do that.

Seriously. Other than the lack of accent trailer looked fine. Appreciate they actually tried to have jokes rather than just a barrage of pop culture references.
I mean seems like they actually tried to make a kids movie rather than just a cheap cash grab, so I mean that's nice. :shrug:

Anyway where's our god drat Lemmings movie you fucks!

Celebrities promote all sorts of things they have nothing to do with all the time. Just need a bold enough innovator to apply that to a film.

Chris Pratt and company will be traveling the world to promote this thing, in places where their voices won't actually be heard in the film. All we need to do is bring that practice home to America.

Shooting and Fucking
are the same thing!

They should do the classic B-film trick and hire an actual celebrity, preferably a semi-retired aging one, but only for at most one day of shooting so they're in the film for less than five minutes but are top billed on all posters.

Hire Chris Pratt but have him voice Morton Koopa Jr. in one (1) scene, pay him 25% of the budget, and then use him to promote the film as if he's the star while having unknown voice actors in all the lead roles.
