Might as well add in the Dragon Quest movie and the upcoming Minecraft movie while I'm at it.

Minecraft movie is in dev hell and last any info about it came out it no longer followed basic minecraft lore but was about some kid becoming a minecraft youtuber or some shit and getting stuck in the game IIRC. Real fucking missed oppurtunity as minecraft has a lot of weird deeplore shit in it akin to a "post apocalyptic/interdimensional beings tampering with shit" thing going for it.

I assume this is a joke. But it's totally ok to joke about because it's about white people.

Mario Movie Producer Suggests Chris Pratt Won't Be Doing an Italian Accent (Archive)
Mario Movie Producer Suggests Chris Pratt Won't Be Doing an Italian Accent (Archive)
Mario movie co-producer Chris Meledandri has suggested that Chris Pratt's performance as the main character won't be using Mario's usual accent, and that his chosen voice is "phenomenal".
Speaking to TooFab, Meledandri was asked about the divisive casting choice, replying, "All I can tell you is the voice that he's doing for us in Mario is phenomenal. Yeah, I can't wait for people to hear it."
With regard to that performance, he suggested that Mario's normal tones might not be what we should go in expecting: "We cover [that accent] in the movie, So you'll see we definitely nod to that – but that's not the tenor of the performance throughout the film."
Asked about the response to Pratt being asked to play a character traditionally depicted as Italian, Meledandri said: "Well, as an Italian American myself, I understand. You know, I understand the comments. Charlie Day, who's playing Luigi, actually comes from Italian heritage. Yeah so that's our nod."
Pratt was cast alongside Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Foreman Spike. Mario video game voice actor Charles Martinet will appear in at least one cameo role.
The animated movie, being created by Despicable Me studio Illumination, is scheduled to hit theaters on December 21, 2022. The project was originally announced in 2018, with both Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri and Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto attached as producers.
Nintendo is also exploring animation projects beyond Super Mario, and early reports suggest Seth Rogen might be getting his own Donkey Kong movie.

At this rate, the meme behind all of this will be on the same level as the Paramount Sonic movie and its forthcoming sequel.

Miyamoto and Chris Chan have decided to delay the Mario movie.

Sounds to me like Miyamoto wants to pull a Sonic The Hedgehog and make sure that this is done the right way, and not just for the sake of a cash grab.

A lot of people read it as “Chris-Chan” instead of “Chris-san”.

What if Miyamoto saw a cut of the film, and heard everyone just using their regular ass voices and was like "Oh no." lol

Supposed leaks about the Mario movie from test audiences
-Art style is similar to Hotel Transylvania but with Mario
-Humor has puns, meta stuff about being from a game series. No dabbing. No fart jokes. Not like Minion.
-Mario and Luigi have slight redesign, start movie off with dusty clothes, muted color schemes.
-They switch to iconic outfits during the movie. They have BROOKLYN ACCENTS.
-DK Jr., Paulina, Toadsworth are said to appear. Daisy is named dropped. Female toads present, none named "Toadette". Foreman Spike is not a villain character, but is a greedy, bossy character.
- Goombas, Koopas, Hammer Bros, Ninjis, Bullet Bills, Bonzai Bills, Lakitus, Fuzzies are enemies in the film.

-Mario meets an older "Cranky" Donkey Kong. Mario cannot communicate because he doesn't speak monkey.

-Yoshi and Kamek "have history" and fight.
-Bowser is defeated when he is tricked into going into a pipe that drops him into a lava pit.

The leaker apparently compared it to the Lego movie.
I think this is fake with how much of it seems to take stuff from the old cartoons from the late 80's/early 90's. It honestly sounds like MovieBob fanfiction, but if it was true oh boy would it be hilarious.
