Nintendo And Illumination Planning Mario Animated Film

Illumination Entertainment has entered into an agreement with Nintendo to produce an animated film which will be based on Mario video game franchise. The video game is about plumbers Mario and Luigi. Nintendo tweeted, “Nintendo and Illumination are partnering on a movie starring Mario, co-produced by Shigeru Miyamoto and Chris Meledandri!”

Nintendo settled a deal with Universal Parks and Resorts in 2015 to develop project based on Nintendo characters, including Mario and Luigi. Miyamoto is the creator of Mario and many other projects of Nintendo, while Meledandri and Universal Studios are the owners of Illumination Entertainment. Illumination is popular for producing the Despicable Me series, Minions, and The Secret Life of Pets.

The movie will be distributed by the President of Universal Pictures Tatsumi Kimishima. However, the makers are yet to decide the launch date of the flick. Nintendo also made a deal and made 1993’s live-action Super Mario Bros which starred Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper. However, the movie failed to impress people.
