Nintendo has given Dreamworks the green light to film "Super Mario Bros 2".  Oddly enough, Bob Hoskins (who just turned 70 years old) and John Leguizamo (age 48) have been confirmed to return to their roles as Mario and Luigi in the sequel to ‘Super Mario Bros’. 

The fans of this movie have been blogging about a sequel for years, to pick up where the last one left off.  And now after all these years, those fans are getting exactly what they've been asking for.

Italian Director Lonnie Carlito has revealed little about the plot of the movie. We do know that the role of the villain in the movie, King Wart, will be played by John Lithgow (3rd Rock from the Sun) , and the Shyguys will be played by popular 90’s actors Matthew Lillard, and French Stewart.

Regardless of whether or not Legiuzamo or Hoskins wanted to do the movie, it turns out that they both signed a contract back in 93’ that promised at least 7 more ‘Mario’ movies.  That may have been a bad idea, because Dreamworks is already working on plans for Super Mario Bros 3, 4, and 5.

So if you haven't seen the first one, then make sure to go see it. Mario & Luigi & King Koopa shoot fire, there's a Big Cheep Cheep who's after Mario, there's also Spike & Princess Daisy & Yoshi & Bullet Bills & Bomb-Ops & many others in the First Movie, with such things as a mushroom turning giant and a final boss battle like in Super Mario World SNES, well what's not to like about the first movie from the 1990's.
