The figures arrive just in time for the new movie's release.
Here's your look at the teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the upcoming animated film from Universal Pictures and Nintendo.
I follow box office and get a general sense of what will do well. While Top Gun came out of nowhere… I can tell you now that this will become the second highest opening weekend for a animated movie.
The animation is fantastic, seriousness/goofiness ratio looks fantastic, and Illumination always makes fantastic games. Jack sounds awesome as bowser and other voice caters are great… but Chris takes me out of it. Still, hoping that’s just for a short period.
Opening weekend US: $155 million
Worldwide overall: $1.3 Billion only behind Frozen 2
This is how you treat video game IPs. Warner Bros could have turned the Mortal Kombat franchise into some huge if they knew how to use it… like many other franchises. Nintendo awesome as ever!!
Yeah, I wish the ones disagreeing would state why. This movie is going to be huge. Hopefully they then move forward with other IPs before we get a Smash movie.
Yeah Mario's voice is the only negative from this trailer. Looks like it'll end up being good despite that.
Why couldn’t they use the game voice actor for this animated movie for both the main characters, the princess voice no one care but the main 2 it’s a missed opportunity by just throwing famous names in there 😢.
So Chris Pratt is using his normal voice where he sounds exactly the same as his character from the Lego Movie
Slight flaw, but otherwise flawless looking trailer for hopefully a fantastic movie.
it sounds like he had a hint of an accent, maybe a suttle Italian one. We will see. Otherwise the trailer looked amazing.
Yea he...sounds too basic lol. But I'll give him a chance I guess. It is obv they only hired him because he's a big name.
Which is weird as they could have gotten anyone else
He’s even signed into the new Garfield animated film
Lego Movie, this and Garfield
They should have picked someone else who isn’t being overused, it’s Mario it will sell tickets regardless.
I thought that was weird, because Jack Black is clearly throwing his voice somewhat and doesn't sound/act similar he does in other movies he's acted in, actually surprised at how well Jack Black does Bowser.
I was expecting a somewhat, Italian accent, even a poor one from Chris Pratt.
He's going with a bit of a Brooklyn accent in the spirit of "Super Mario Brothers Super Show" from the 90's. You know that marios hyper squeaky italian voice from the games would never fly in a near 2 hour full length feature. People would claw their ears out. Trust me, nintendo knew Chris Pratt's voice going into this. They are very intimately involved in making sure this goes right. They don't want to get outdone by Sega.
Hmmm.... well if fan backlash can get sonic to change (for the better) then maybe it can get mario to have a better accent. Otherwise it looks like it could be good.
Imagine the dirt Chris Pratt must have, to be so absolutely terrible and I genuinely mean awful at his job. Yet manage to regularly be pushed into leading roles.
My biggest gripe is that alot of Actors tend to have the same personality, or acting in every movie they're in, Ryan Renolds, The Rock, Chris Pratt... I still like those actors, but it's like inserting that actor into a movie, not having the acting play that movie's character if you understand what I mean.
As long as they do better than Disney, they already emulate the Disney vault crap with their games, let's hope their movie division isn't a dumpster fire like some Disney owned IPs.
as long as they keep the social BS and w0ke crap out of their franchises then I don't mind, it's time for a Disney replacement.
For nintendo to wanna be disney they would have made bowser a female chicken for the 0.9% of us who wants things like that and give the middle finger to the 99.1% others
"There's the possibility that we could partner again on that one."
Oh God please, keep both of them as far away from Jak and Daxter as possible
The new Uncharted film looks terrible
I have had the misfortune of seeing the film and you're right, it's terrible. In the words of Drake himself - 'crap!'
I have to be very careful, so as not to spoil it for others, but the action sequences are absolutely lousy and very wishy washy. I am a huge fan of the games and I absolutely hated the film with a passion. The whole production is extremely mediocre with an over reliance on CGI effects.
Fans looking for a two fisted Indiana Jones experience will be extremely disappointed as Tom Holland is woefully miscast and looks as though he couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag. Others just looking for 'National Treasure' light, might find some enjoyment, if they are not acquainted with the games franchise.
I am being overly generous when I score it two 'crap' stars out of five.
That's too bad. It has a 47 on Rotten Tomatoes, and I imagine it only going down from there. I get why other video-game movies may falter in the translation to film, but Uncharted? This is a game that wears its many influences on its sleeve and is already "cinematic" on its own. Screwing up an Uncharted movie seems like it would be actually hard to do, but they did it.
And how bad is Sully? Can't believe they fumbled the casting so badly. I'm still going to watch it though.
It really should have been a TV show. A 2 hr movie based on a game that is 12 hrs long would never feel right even tho the movie is about as non canonical as the Halo tv show, at least 343 is honest with the fact that the show is in its own universe. But how hard would it have been to get Nathan Fillion as Drake and Bryan Cranston as Sully for a tv show.
SONY has been on a roll with horrible game movies. Tomb Raider, RE, Monster Hunter and now this. Technically the SotC movie is still being worked and as well as GOW despite years of silence. I fear the worse for those movies with the attitude they've suddenly taken for these movie adaptations.
It's sad that none of the game to movie translations are faithful to the originals and not worth watching. Sony should have at least tried with Uncharted but absolutely chose the worst guys for the lead roles. They look nothing like the Uncharted game characters.
Welcome to Raccoon City looks low budget and cheesey and some characters like Leon and Jill did not look the part. But the key is it stuck as close as it could to the games. Unlike the shitty RE movies Milla Jovovich made which went off the tracks. I chuckled at the joke made about Leon and his partner in training. I enjoyed it I just ordered it on blu ray.
Since The Last of Us actually started as a Jak and Daxter game, I honestly don't see them returning to anything resembling a colorful 3d platformer. And that sucks.
Yeppp please give us another game or hand it to a different studio to handle!!
If im being honest id love to R&C take a seat for a while and insomniac work on a new jak and daxter as i know they would pull it off in every regard.
Insomniac could easily pull off a Jak game. Naughty Dog, idk. ND has completely changed since Jak, and they don't even want to make Jak games anymore.
Tbh, it would probably feel a bit weird if they didn't get the original writer for the games. I just checked and his name is Daniel Arey. He works at Google now: https://www.linkedin.com/in...
Insomniac also toned down the R&C games a lot over time as they got away from the edgy (for a kids franchise) 90s/early-mid 2000s style ... and that's pretty much Jak 2 and 3. lol. I wouldn't want them to tone it down to be more family friendly. It wouldn't be Jak & Daxter anymore.
@lucas
All 3 jak games were awesome but i would have absolutely zero problems with insomniac taking jak back to it original form in part 1 that was just as good as 2 and 3.
I mean jak 2 and 3 werent that edgy lol ur making it sound like the last of us or something.
Insomniac could definitely pull it off, sotry wise, gameplay, graphics u name.
They would certainly be the best suited devs to bring jak back seeing as naughty dog has no interest in it.
He's even less suited to Jak than he is for Drake. I really don't understand the obsession with Tom Holland. And if we're going to get more Jak, surely we get another game instead... This feels like a slap in the face.
He really is one of the worst versions of Spiderman but has been carried by the franchise and Marvel.
Why? The last thing you want is the same actors playing every role in every video game movie. And from what I've heard, the Uncharted movie is dog shit anyway. These guys probably shouldn't be working on Jak or any other PlayStation franchises. A year ago Holland himself said that his approach to how he played Drake was a mistake. That's not a good sign.
This movie going to flop hard in the box office & reviews. Sony need to understand Tom Holland is not a house hold name, people only care about Spiderman and the only reason why his spiderman doing $$$$ is because of the MCU connection.
A new attempt at a Doom movie adaptation.
