I don't know, but they would have $9 from me.

As much as I've come to more or less accept it, I don't think I could take an entire film of Mario's Italian caricature voice.

When I was a kid, Mario was a gruff plumber from Brooklyn. Now he's apparently from the homeland. *shrugs*

If they got Pixar to make it, then it could be huge.

Successful or not, I think it would be garbage lol

There's a reason the first Mario movie flopped so bad. It was horrible. It wasn't Mario. Not in the slightest. I remember being so excited for the movie, then when I watched it, I was appalled. They shat all over Nintendo fans' faces with that movie. Also, it just should never have been live action. 3D animation is the way to go for a Mario movie, and it would have to keep the same spirit as the games, instead of trying to be...whatever the hell that other movie was trying to be. Video game movies could succeed, they just need to be done right, and none have been done right thus far. All they'd have to do to make a good Mario movie is use CGI, with a Super Mario Galaxy like character design, and a story along the lines of what we saw in the Mario RPGs. Leave Mario as an almost silent protagonist, as well as Luigi, and Wario and Waluigi if they appear. Have characters like Toad, Toadsworth, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Princess Rosalina, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. do most of the talking. Have Pixar make it, working directly with Nintendo to write the story. One of the world's most recognizable characters, in a movie made by one of the world's most beloved 3D animation studios, in a style that fits the IP, with direct involvement from Nintendo to keep things close to the source material? It'd be difficult to screw that up.

Well, it would at least be better than the 1993 movie..

A Mario/Nintendo Universe movie could be done successfully, though probably not in the way you guys are thinking. 

Make a character from the "real world" the main character who goes into the world of games. 

It's basically the same concept as The LEGO Movie and Wreck It Ralph, both of which are huge blockbusters. 

If you can make a hit movie based around LEGO blocks, I don't see why a similar take on the video game world couldn't work. Wreck It Ralph did it, but Nintendo should just pool all their characters (and maybe get some third party ones) into one movie.

If there is a real drama Mario movie has like a concept of Lion King or Frozen, lol I think it would be a hit! XD

Given what the movie looked like, half the budget is probably the rights for mario.

The movie was terrible.

I remember seeing Super Mario Bros at the movie theatres when it came out.
Showing my age.
