New Super Mario Bros. possibly being made by sony

[Shred Head]

Apparently someone hacked Sony and found allot of news on certain movies and one being that Sony has the rights to make a Mario movie. You would think no one in there right mind would ever do that again but thankfully it will be animated.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/sony-nintendo-mario-bros-movie

Tell the truth I hope its true a live action Mario movie was always going to be doomed for disaster but animated I think its got some potential. Although if they screw up Nintendo will probraly never trust hollywood with one of there properties again. Also doesn't Sony have the rights for a Sonic movie also? Man I would kill for a team up thats not a ****ing mini game compilation.

It could work as an animated film, As long as they stick to the same art style of the games, And have Charles Martinet as the voice of Mario, Since hes done the voice for all the games.

[Candy Kappa]

I've seen great live-action takes on Mario, so it's not impossible. If fan movies and commercials can make Mario look awesome in real life, surely a Hollywood production could.


Could... Maybe.

That's a terrible idea. His voice gets annoying after screeching one game title so it'll be awful if he had to do an entire movie.

But anyway, they suggested Genndy do it and if he does, it'll be amazing.

[Leo656]

Yeah f*ck Charles Martinet. Sh*t's terrible.

Everybody knows that Mario actually sounds like Capt. Lou after half a carton of Lucky Strikes. F***ing Duh.

[CyberCubed]

I don't understand why they would team up with Sony of all people. Talk about working with your competitor.

[Peanut]

Sony Pictures is not SCE is not Sony Music is not Sony etc. They're all hardly the same company at some point. It's part of the reason they're in so much financial turmoil all the time. There are specific accounts of Sony Music telling other branches of the company to f*ck off when it came to using licensed music! Why do you think Sony Pictures allows franchises they own the rights to, like Spider-Man, or own outright, like Ghostbusters, to be made into third-party video games? It's cause they don't give two f*cks about SCE.

Nintendo making a deal with Sony for movies isn't Nintendo making a deal with Playstation.

[TurtleTitan97]

I've got a bad feeling about this.....

[NinjaPug]

Wish Nintendo would do a Zelda movie instead

[snake]

I don't know if I can stand Mario talking for an entire movie.

[Wildcat]

Ya a live action Mario CAN work. The old one doesn't set the standard for what anyone would do. That's just dumb. It'd be like saying all possible live action Batman movies should have been judged on the old tv series.

If they actually model it on the games it could be awesome. Imagine a Live Action mushroom kingdom and other worlds. It'd could be beautiful.

[Darthknuxward]

This should be... interesting...

[BubblyShell22]

I never liked the live action Mario movie, but I think an animated one could work. Too bad Capt. Lou's not alive because I think he'd be awesome to play Mario. I don't like the video game Mario anymore. In the old days, he never talked in the game, but after they gave him a voice, it's definitely gotten annoying. I wouldn't want that guy to voice Mario.

[Peanut]

This. Oh yes. A thousand times this

[TigerClaw]

I wish they did a Starfox movie too.

[CyberCubed]

I'm surprised they never made a Starfox cartoon. It seems like the perfect Nintendo franchise to turn into a Saturday Morning cartoon show.

Considering Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, F-zero, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing all had either cartoon or anime adaptions, I'm surprised Starfox never did.

[Davetello]

This. Oh yes. A thousand times this

There's a fantastic Zelda fan film, "The Hero of Time".

Someone was working on a fanmade Starfox animated series, But Nintendo shut it down.

They'd have to get some newbie actors for this if Live action, I don't think any one would be willing to touch this thing after what happened with the last one.

I think Animation would do it more Justice, just get a better voice actor for Mario is all.

If they do live action at least have the princess be Princess Peach this time, I was really disapointed with who they choose not to mention the film was on Luigi. Second film if filmed they could have focused on him but the first flick.

[Leo656]

Too bad Capt. Lou's not alive because I think he'd be awesome to play Mario.

To be fair, The Cap'n didn't invent the "Brooklyn Pizza Delivery Guy" accent, he merely perfected it.

Pretty much anybody could do it. I'll do it. I'll do it for a BLT, f*ck it. I could eat.

[TMNT_Guy]

I doubt the movie will happen, but I hope I’m wrong. A Super Mario Bros has so much potential to be a good character driven movie. The characters in Super Mario have interesting, fun personalities and it would be really neat to see them be able to fully express themselves in a movie. If done right, of course.

In regards to “Charles Martinet’s voice is too annoying for a 90 min movie.” If people are ok with listening to Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck’s voice for extended periods of time, then they should be ok with Mario and Luigi's. Especially since Mario would be talking like a normal person and not constantly shouting every line of dialogue like the games.

How many 90 minute Mickey or Donald movies exist?

Also, I've heard Martinet doing a regular speaking voice for Mario. It's still ridiculous and wouldn't work in anything other than a video game.

[BubblyShell22]

Lol...what? He almost never speaks in the games. Like...ever.

Oh. I thought he did, but then again, I haven't played any of the new Mario games. I only remember the old ones. I was just going by how everyone said Mario had an annoying voice and just figured he spoke more.

Edit: Leo, I know Capt. Lou didn't invent the Mario voice, but he was perfect for it.

[Shred Head]

Not to mention no Director or producer or what have you would in there right mind cast him just take a look at his take a look at the guys IMDB page. Pretty sure they wouldn't think yeah this is the guy we want to star in feature length movie. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0553409/?ref_=tt_cl_t1

I think the last body of work the guy has had that wasn't video game related was in 2003 and it was just standing in the back ground. I respect the work he has done in the games but what works in one medium doesn't mean it will completely work in anther.

[Leo656]

I never even understood why they switched Mario's voice. Like, everyone watched those cartoons as a kid. I mean, Bob "British As F*ck" Hoskins played him in the movie, and it was perfect. He was one of the only things in that movie that was spot-on, and he was drunk off his ass giving exactly zero f*cks about anything the entire time.

Then, all of a sudden, in 1996, with no explanation, Mario suddenly started talking like he was "straight off the boat" instead of someone who was supposedly born and raised in Brooklyn, because, I guess... Japanese people are racist against Italians, maybe? I mean, why would you even think to do that, to give a character that voice? That'd be like, after decades of having a suitable and "normal" voice, suddenly Superman talked like a hick because "Hey, he's from Kansas". Just don't fit.

As a kid I swore they'd realize it was a stupid voice and that they'd change it for the very next game. Still waiting.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree with you about the voice, Leo. Even in the cartoon, he didn't sound that way, and suddenly for the games he sounds like he's from Italy instead of New York. It just sounded tacky to me whenever I heard it on the commercials.

[Leo656]

That's not even how people from Italy talk, as far as I'm aware. That's how people who write cartoons think people from Italy talk, but I kind of don't think they really do.

[CyberCubed]

The Mario cartoon was made by Dic, it was pretty much just a licensed product. Its not like Nintendo had any control over the Mario cartoon like they do with Pokemon now for example.

It was pretty obvious Mario got a new voice in 1996 to distance it from the cartoon series which was long canceled by that point anyway.

[Leo656]

Are you defending their position? Smack yourself.

[CyberCubed]

Are you defending their position? Smack yourself.

You thought they were going to continue using an actor from a spinoff cartoon? There's a reason Nintendo never acknowledges the Mario cartoon officially, the DVDs were released by Dic (or whomever) and has nothing to do with Nintendo.

Nintendo likes to pretend the early 90's cartoons of Mario, Zelda, and Captain N don't exist. They didn't start to control their shows till Pokemon, Kirby, F-zero, etc. in the late 90's and 2000's.

[sdp]

Actually Nintendo needed to OK the cover art and the releases for the DVDs of the old shows. In the 80s early 90s NOA had a lot more control over the properties and they tried to license their characters in as much as they could. It was actually the Super Mario Bros movie that made Nintendo in Japan notice and basically stripped NOA from much of its power to license stuff out and kept tighter control. I think this has been both good and bad. I was happy to read that they were going to be licensing their properties more which is good, that's probably why we've gotten so many action figures lately but I hope they don't just let anything happen.

As far as a Mario movie, I don't know how I feel about it. The Pikmin shorts worked well but a full Mario movie? I think they would recast Mario but I don't mind Charles Martinet(?), I actually met him, nice guy but hten again he doesn't speak a lot in the games just smaller phrases. As far as the mario cartoons I thought the SMB3 cartoon was neat, the Supershow is really boring to me and I never saw SMW. The Zelda cartoon is pretty decent for its premise and incorporates many fantasy tropes that were later used in future Zelda's, the "excuse me" phrase isn't even as annoying as the internet would make you think. Star Fox would be great for an animated show, I remember when I was watching Bucky O'Hare I actually thought this is how an animated SF show would be.

[Peanut]

Are you defending their position? Smack yourself.

Where do you get that from what he said? He's explaining to you why it is what it is. The cartoons released in the west were licensed. Officially, game or otherwise, Mario did not have a voice until Super Mario 64 and to this day his origins aren't touched on. Nintendo didn't suddenly decide to change the voice or alter the characters back story, it never officially existed. Smack yourself.

I don’t think the Japanese ever heard of the Brooklyn origin until the live action Super Mario Bros movie screened in 1993. The official voice of Mario was already chosen as far back as 1992 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1t6iNG28zI), a whole year before the Brooklyn origin even reached Mr. Miyamoto.

Sort of. That isn't Charles Martinet. Though, he is in that video.

Edit: This is way longer than the one I saw a long time ago. Man, that's something else for 1992.

[Jester]

Was Charles Martinet's first turn as Mario the Mario Game Gallery for the PC?

[Davetello]

While we're on the subject of Mario, and just as a temporary derailment of the topic...rank the main 3D Marios: 64, Sunshine, and both Galaxies.

[Peanut]

I do believe that is the case. At least, it was probably the first released title that featured him voicing Mario. I'm not sure how the timelines of him actually performing the VO for 64 and Game Gallery line up in regards to their actual release dates.

[Cure]

I need to study up on my Mario knowledge, because damn.

[TMNT_Guy]

Yeah, you can clearly see him instructing the guy on what to do. I guess he needed a break or something. It wouldn’t be the last time someone else voiced one of his characters for a live event. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCda_wxOIow)

Did you know some of the influence for Super Mario 64 came from a rejected solo Yoshi project developed by now defunct (they made the licensed Catwoman game) Argonaut Games?

All of my favorite things in one post. Mario, Croc, Catwoman, and Star Fox.

And no! That's all news to me!

[CyberCubed]

Mario is not from Brooklyn in the games either at least post Mario Bros. the arcade game. Ever since Yoshi's Island created their backstory that they were both born in the Mushroom Kingdom as babies, the whole "real world" aspect was dropped.

I'm not sure but was Wrecking Crew or the Mario Bros. Arcade game set in the real world? I'm not sure if this was something the cartoon created and then just got taken as facts when people who were kids got older and it stuck with them...sort of like how everyone still thinks the Koopalings are Bowsers kids.

Both NES manuals for Wrecking Crew and Mario Bros don’t have a story printed. The Koopalings being Bowser’s children was not a creation of the cartoons or Nintendo of America. They were mentioned as being Browser’s children in the Super Mario Bros 3 Japanese manual. (http://www.mariowiki.com/Koopalings#Family_relationship) So Bowser Jr. being his only child is indeed a retcon. Not even a simple story like Super Mario can go without a retcon.

I getting super nerdy here, but the only bits of the American story I can think of that are still “canon” are Mario’s love of Italian food, Luigi’s cowardice, the names of the Koopalings, (In the Japanese manual they were unnamed. This is why the Dic cartoon gave them different names. During production of the cartoon they had no official names so they made them up.) and “possibly” Mario and Luigi’s last name being Mario. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAjhjLuWbC8)

[sdp]

Well since its super nerdy in here time for me to jump, I'm someone who in my youth researched extensively the Mario timeline of events and history ;). When has Mario's love for italian food been used officially? Luigi's cowardice only started with Luigi's Mansion and I believe Miyamoto chose the name of the Koopalings but i could be wrong on that one. As far as Mario's last name that has sadly been debunked by Miyamoto himself so the name Mario Bros. makes no sense officially but we can all believe their last name really is Mario...

And yeah officially from what we know is that Mario has always been in the Mushroom Kingdom, Donkey Kong and Mario Bros take place in that same world, there is no "real" world that we know of in this universe. Before that was explicitly stated the convoluted timeline following the american story was that he was born in the Mushroom Kingdom as seen in Yoshi's Island and then they somehow went to the real world where they lived until one day as plumbers they found Koopa's and made their way to the mushroom Kingdom. Of course the whole timeline is just a huge cluster**** when you take into account the Kong timeline since the original Donkey Kong aged quickly but Mario didn't and the current DK hasn't aged quickly either, oddly enough the spin-off sports titles and the like cause the least amount trouble being explained since in Mario's wacky universe anything can really happen.

[Peanut]

He dreams of different kinds of pasta dishes when you let him fall asleep in SM64, although that's apparently not in the Japanese version of the game.

Luigi's characterization began somewhat in Paper Mario, where you could read his diary and he had some pretty amusing dialogue, but you're right that his cowardice was really (officially) brought to the fore in Luigi's Mansion. However, him being a wimp is definitely something you can see carried over from the old western cartoons. There's actually an old SMB anime where he's portrayed as super slimy and greedy, which is funny considering where his character ended up. He's easily the most interesting character with the best characterization of anyone from the Mario universe, though.

Miyamoto had nothing to do with the Koopalings names, as they were never named in Japan and instead given named by NoA localizers. That's part of the reason they had different names in the DiC series - the game wasn't localized while they were in production, so no names existed.

Edit: Oh, also! Here's a great and weird piece of Mario art from a weird old set of anime. Momotaro Mario with a gun.

http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/5/5b/Amadaseries.jpg/200px-Amadaseries.jpg

If you've never seen this thing, look it up. The image of Mario booking it to anime speed lines carrying a gun is insaaaane.
Edit 2: I gotta make a gif of that damn scene.

Hadn't read this before, but it makes a lot of sense. The original SNES Yoshi sprite looks weird and incomplete, especially the arms being off-color.

Shigeru Miyamoto has commented on the leak:

AP: There was correspondence that came out of the Sony leak that mentioned "Spider-Man" producer Avi Arad was working on a "Mario Bros." animated film. Is that true? If so, what would your role be in the film, and what do you envision a modern "Mario" film would look?

Miyamoto: I heard something about that this morning. What's interesting is that over the past 20 years, people come to us on a fairly regular basis about creating "Mario" movies. There are times that those ideas end right when they bring them to us, and other times we'll listen to presentations. It's not very unusual, and it's something we've been doing for a very long time. I don't particularly have a vision that the next iteration of "Mario" is going to be in film.
