Mario Bros. Set to Jump to Big Screen in Movie Deal with Universal’s Illumination - Paging Movie Bob, Paging Movie Bob...

I watched this shit live lmao. As soon as they unveiled the cast, I just started fucking cackling. Like, Jesus Christ, what the fuck? Why Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong? Why Jack Black as Bowser? I love Jack Black and all, but as a giant turtle-dragon? Should have gone for somebody with a deep, imposing voice. That's like casting Kevin Hart as the voice of Ganondorf
 
I just looked up who Spike is because I didn't recognize it immediately. Think I know who the Minions are.

And Sebastian Maniscalco is some stand-up comedian I've never heard of.

Fucking amazing. This can easily be a trainwreck.

Did the casting director picked random celebrity names out of a hat and then called it a day and just ran with it?

The Icon points to the Forman but god I wished they referenced the original movie. Imagine Dinohatten being canon and Denis Hopper Bowser being used in the sports game
ALREADY SEETHING BECAUSE A CHRISTIAN IS VOICING MARIO JEJ
The final act of this movie has to be mario praying for divine strength to stop jack black bowser from his evil plan of creating school house rock
 
I saw the cast announced in the direct and I immediately thought this was a comedy movie.

Pretty much a dream team of poor casting. They should just say fuck it and have Patton Oswalt voice every character. If they're aiming for annoying, why not go with the best?

It would have been better with no-name actors, so the characters could exist without being attached to a bunch of retarded joke celebrities.
 
Literally the only actor that works. Anja Taylor Joy? Will anyone even recognize her voice? Such shit casting.

Movie could be a masterpiece but it will never touch the 93 film. This ain't no game.
Pratt and Rogen being on the main cast is equivalent to watching someone drop a massive pile of horseshit on a freshly cleaned and filled pool, I really can't stand these retards on any role they are cast in. Jack Black is cool but nowhere near a good fit for that role lol!
 
Kevin Michael Richardson is black, too, but he also has a really deep voice. Can you even imagine any of this coming from this character?

Post update: Kevin actually has a range and I can't believe I didn't notice this. He can pull off Kamek if he gives him the high-pitched nerdy voice, or even the voice he gave to Tech E. Coyote or Demongo. But that's only if his voice-director is smart enough to let him do that.
