Video games make good movies now, which naturally means every video game that has ever existed is being adapted for the big screen or turned into a TV show by a major streaming platform. Just this week we learned 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Netflix is working on a Bioshock film, Paramount has given the greenlight for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a third Sonic mo☂vie and a Knuckles spinoff series, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:HBO's The Last Of Us will be here in 2023.
All that fresh video game adaptation news, along with other stuff like Amazon turning Mass Effect and Fallout into TV 🍸shows, has resulted in the Mario moive falling under the radar somewhat. Charlie Day, who will play Luigi in the animated Nintendo flick, provided a welcome reminder it is very much still hapꦯpening byಌ revealing he wants to play the green Mario brother in more than just one movie.
Day said he saw his son playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Luigi's Mansion on his Switch the other day, adding that if a movie based on those games is on the cards, he'd be all in. “I grew up playing Super Mario Brothers as did everyone I know so, we'll see. It's like anything else in life, I'll go if I'm invited," Day told . Day joins an all-star cast in the Mario movie with Ann Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Seth Rogen as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong, and Chris Pratt as Mario.
A potential Luigi's Mansion movie, and anything else that may be spun from the upcoming movie, all depends on its success at the box office, of course. If Nintendo uses Sonic as the blueprint, then we could be in for lots more of Day and all the other actors venturing into the Mushroom Kingdom on the big and small screen. There have already been reports 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:DK is getting his own movie, so it makes sense that Luigi might too.
The decision to make a new Mario movie is a bold one, even with so many other IPs making it work right now. Video game movies were objectively bad for a very long time, and there's a very strong argument to be made that the first attempt at a Mario movie started that trend. This upcoming film is about as far removed from the 1993 movie as it possibly could be though. If all goes well, it will be in cinemas before the end of 2022.
