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

Chris Pratt: Mario

I don't mind Chris Pratt, but they couldn't even keep Charles Martinet for Mario or Luigi? Least you could argue that the Mario Bros cartoons were doing their own thing and it was made before there was a distinctive, iconic "set" voice for Mario. If Nintendo's at the helm for this ('cause as far as I know, they weren't involved with the TV cartoons), they either had to have had a say in who plays who, or we're gonna be hearing some real bad Italian accents.

I dunno, it's just a weird casting choice if you ask me. Charles' cameo role might be Wario or Waluigi unless it's something else, though, so at least they were kind enough to let him have a cameo.

Jack Black as Bowser, though? He can do deep growls, right? Think he can. If he can ham up Bowser, I'm all for it.

Donkey Kong potentially having a speaking role is gonna be hella awkward. Nothing can top Richard Yearwood and Sterling Jarvis, and I dare Seth Rogen to try.

Remaining cautiously optimistic given Nintendo's involved, but it's still Illumination at the end of the day, and I can see them trying to make the Toads the movie's Minions.

The cast feels like a shit post, none of them are well cast but cast just because they are famous.

People like Chris Pratt and Jack Black can voice act, just seem miscast. Hell Kevin Michael Richardson who they have in the cast could have been a good Bowser.

But doubt a change of voice cast will make the movie good, just like how the Sonic redesign didn't make that movie good, just less shit.

Anya Taylor Joy: Peach
Charlie Day: Luigi
Jack Black: Bowser
Keegan Michael Key: Toad
Seth Rogen: Donkey Kong
Kevin Michael Richardson: Kamek

Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong is the one that really grinds my gears tbqh

What a fucking disaster right out the gate.

This is all a dream. I will wake up and it will be fake

Oh my LORD that's just disgusting, I have a feeling this'll worse than the Ratchet & Clank film that was released a few years ago.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

I just realized who Charlie Day is, and I think I'm okay with this.

Hearing Martinet talk as Mario and Luigi in full sentences would be super fucking jarring in my opinion (even if it has happened before), I think I'm okay with him not playing them. Charlie Day as Luigi looks interesting though.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

TOADS A NIGGER LMAO

and he is the only black guy.

The Nigger is Toadstool's slave. BASED MOVIE.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

and he is the only black guy.

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?

Found a video of it, honestly not as bad as I thought it would be

WTF THE /V/ COPY PASTAS LOOK SOMEWHAT BETTER NOW, WHY NINTENDO?

Charles Martinet is a national treasure, legit.

Oh really? I must have missed him

Well still..they made a Nigger Peaches' Slave.

>Here before we get butt jokes in a mario franchise complete with a segment with generic pop music from today.
I'm fucking dying from picturing a small segment of something like WAP playing in the background with a music celeb cameo.

 

[tehpope]

Is Charles gonna play Mario's dad?

Because of the casting, Donkey Kong is now jewish. People will argue if he's circumcised or not?

 

[Fluoxetine Man]

The movie will literally be this /tv/ meme.

 

[Rotollo 2]

I'm in shock/paralyzation that THE WEED MAN will play donkey kong

Even animation can't get away from having a large age gap between the male lead and female love interest.
