Illumination studio has revealed some new and very colorful character posters for its upcoming animated featureThe Super Mario Bros. The movie is the first cinematic adventure of our beloved Italian plumber and his gang, in almost three decades. The IP is among Nintendo’s most profitable, next only toPokémon.
The new images give us a good look at the impressive animation, we see a very evil Browser smiling at us while we can see a volcano ready to erupt in the background. In another image, we see a very happy-go-lucky Donkey Kong, and his iconic tie with his initials is unmissable. An adorable and very hopeful Toad is seen in another image while Peach and Mario are seen in the background. Another image sees a close-up of beautiful Princess Peach looking intently at us with her gorgeous blue eyes while Luigi is seen in a jungle holding a torch and looks like something has scared him very much. In his poster, our titular hero Mario seems to be reaching out to grab something while he’s surrounded by franchise iconic mushrooms.
The Super Mario Bros Movieis helmed by long-time collaboratorsAaron HorvathandMichael Jelenic, the genius duo behindTeen Titans Go!.They are directing from a screenplay byMatthew Fogelwho is riding high on the success ofMinions: The Rise of Gru. While the movie follows the same story as the namesake video game where Mario and Luigi navigate an underground labyrinth in a bid to save the captured princess, Peach — it’ll be interesting to see how the story plays out in contemporary times.
