Wonderful work, Russia! I'm very pleased to see you still so committed to the film and realizing your personal vision for it.

Re: Paper Mario Series

I liked in Thousand Year Door where you got to play as Bowser and Peach... they could really take that to the next level. It always seems like they're afraid to give Mario and Luigi (and Link, also) too much personality or even dialogue since they're traditionally avatars for the person playing the...

Pretty cool! Did he seem interested in you and our work or at least pleasant to a fan, or did he not care? (I really can't see him being an asshole, even considering the subject-matter)

Re: How was your childhood like Pokémon in real life?

Have you read at all about the origins of the game series? It was very much inspired by growing up in rural Japan. Japanese kids spent a lot of time fishing, bug-catching and exploring caves. (That's why a lot of Japanese games feature caves/dungeons, including Miyamoto's own Legend of Zelda and Pik...

Re: Max Landis' "Super Mario World" Script + Concept Art

Max Landis is an up-and-coming director who a lot of people seem to think is an entitled hipster. I've no opinion myself.

The script, however, is awesome. Landis has stated that he wrote it as a child, so he doesn't feel it to be particularly good, but it was a worthwhile experiment and practice.

I'd watch this. Even if the previews were terrible and reviews indicated the same I'd watch the hell out of it. It has the potential to be truly amazing.

The Zelda universe is timeless. Unlike Super Mario, I can see any era ('80s, '90s or now) producing something remarkable.

I'd prefer to see either Dreamworks or Pixar handle an animated adaptation, but Sony has had a fairly good output and could easily produce something worthwhile if they put their best on the project. Unfortunately, Arad is far from their best. Just look at what he did to the Spider-Man franchise.

I don't see the point. They could have continued to make low-budget, direct-to-video animated films throughout the '90s and '00s, but an actual theatrical film is way past its prime. A live-action/CG-hybrid also isn't the smartest direction, although I'll withhold any judgment for the trailer.
