Game news Super Mario: While waiting for the movie, he replaces the game’s sound with the voice of Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy)
As you may know, a real Super Mario movie is about to see the light of day … and everyone is sure to be a little fascinated, especially since Chris Pratt will play the famous protagonist. Suddenly this choice leads to some jokes on the internet …
Five-star casting for a five-star video game
Adapting Super Mario to the big screen is a risky venture and it’s not the first adaptation from 1993 that will say the opposite: it has to be said that the decision to shoot a project in live action (that is, in real footage) made things … complicated. Regardless, the productive Nintendo franchise wants to prove its cinematic potential once again. what she’s about to do with a brand new feature film, this time animated.
Directed by the Illumination Studio, to which we owe Les Minions, The site will therefore host several big stars who will give voice to emblematic characters: Anya Tayor-Joy will slip into Peach’s skin, Jack Black will be Bowser, Seth Rogen will play Donkey Kong … and as for Chris Prattwe are talking about today he’ll double Mario, no more and no less.
Chris Pratt, the tireless meme
We can’t say the fans have been particularly excited since the announcement, especially those who have been waiting for the return of Charles Martinet, the emblematic voice of Mario since 1990. We’re going to have to get used to the idea of Chris Pratt, whose a place in the casting was recently established by one of the producers, promises a “phenomenal” drama.
While waiting to see the first results through a trailer, some don’t hesitate to take the lead and tackle some good jokes like Wow Industries that just released a game to be found in your browser here (Chrome and Firefox only). This one takes the very first cult level of Super Mario Bros. point by point, except that Chris Pratt’s voice was embedded … everywhere.
When you jump, kill an enemy, get a bonus, die, finish the level: the American actor’s voice is omnipresent for an effect that quickly turns into an arbitrary overdose. In fact, this is mostly an easy and good-natured way of referencing a meme that has been around the internet for a while: Chris Pratt does so many different projects – to the point where he even plays Mario, so – that one wonders whether he will not be here, there or there again.
Adi Shankar, the producer of the Devil May Cry series on Netflix (work in progress), even joked in a recent interview and stated that Dante would not be voiced by Chris Pratt: So this parody of the game Super Mario Bros. illustrates well the words of the internet.
So it only remains to see the result in the film Super Mario, however directly supervised by Nintendo even with the participation of Shigeru Miyamoto. See you in the cinema on December 21, 2022 in the United States and at a more or less similar time in France.
