A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Depends on your tastes. I thought it was very good visually but other than that it wasn't very great, but I do have high standards for most films. For both of you I recommend watching the show. It should definitely demonstrate why the movie is not a good adaptation by any means.

Great work! There really should be an official album but apparently Silvestri has no interest. Shame too since it's a great soundtrack.

That Goomba is totally cool and I can't imagine how long it took to get the crash-car right. Really great work.

You know, that does seem like an incredibly obvious origin for his hairstyle. Considering Toad was "Lemmy" in the early shooting script it would explain why Mojo wasn't given a hairstyle with a more apparent allusion to Toad's mushroom cap.

Great work and you and your brother both look good in them. Next step: fan film!

SMB is almost a spiritual successor to Max Headroom. A lot of parallels can be drawn between the two. Hopefully we can make those similarities much more clear in the future.

Great costumes, gboy. You made the suits yourself? And I love how the tool belts are color-coded.

$32? Wow. That's a total rip-off. Gotta wonder what team you're playing for to make that worth it.

Thanks a million for your response, Redstar! I'm Mr. White on the show. I'm usually the brain on the show and I believe I did indeed visit this website for some research. I've also really enjoyed the new content posted recently. Glad you've enjoyed all the recent content we've put up. It been a lon...

You never said anything to me! Happy birthday, Phlibbit!

We really do have high hopes for this film as it does constitute the very first fan film for the movie. I'm sure once all the SFX and editing is worked out through post-production the film will turn out to be a very high-quality spiritual successor to the movie. We'll certainly give our stamp-of-app...

It seems the second and fourth questions were accidentally spliced with the corresponding questions from the Andrea Powell interview. The actual questions and answers have since been corrected, so make sure to take a look to be sure you haven't missed anything!

Great commentary of the film, Kaiser. Are you either Black or White or are you just posting it? Either way, it's always fun to hear a respectful take of the movie even if it's not outright positive. All three of the reviewers hit the right notes, both the criticisms and the great parts. There were a...

This is great! The actors you've found for Mario and Luigi really fit into their parts. Mario's mustache does look a bit fake but I'm sure it'll work fine... I've got to know, though, what do they think of the film's concept? It's a spiritual sequel to a very infamous film, to say the least. Also, w...

Don't you mean my "darker and edgier" thread just before this? There's mention of guns but nothing as specific as bazookas.

Happy 23rd!

I wanted to mention that Guy was unfortunately unable to provide any photos or concept art relevant to his interview (though will come in handy later on). While Phlibbit did a great job working in screencaps from the movie we will still return to this interview and update it with additional/replacem...

Like David's interview, we also wanted to give an update on Richard's. We had to postpone it for a couple weeks because of distractions in Richard's life, but he finally got back to us this weekend and Ryan and myself were able to conduct it yesterday, on Sunday. It went on for about two hours and w...

Just an update: this interview really is long. I have about an hour left to transcribe so we probably won't be seeing this until at least next weekend, though more likely even later than that because David actually promised to send us production materials for use on the site. We'd like to have those...

It's looking great. I love the use of colors, especially in the Mushroom Kingdom. It's very offbeat and almost alien. I can see it coming off a little like Wonderland with giant alien flora in the background. That would be cool. :D Great that Toadstool's VA finally got back to you. Hopefully you can...

That's pretty bad. Hopefully you can find someone just as talented, if not moreso, to voice Toadstool for you. At least you have the other roles pretty much covered. This is apparently a common thing. I've personally broken computers but I've never actually seen a computer's hard drive crash, etc. P...

Haha. Man, they really did push the merchandise for this movie! Hold onto that; I'm sure it's one of the more rare collectibles related to the movie.

Nice find. Is that a record?

It certainly does! That also got me thinking about the original Super Mario Land--didn't Mario shoot "bullets" in that one? Kind of. Mario shot "Super Balls", which were basically just large metal balls. Still, makes you think Yokoi was perhaps referencing this original concept ...

Grabbed this from Kotaku about a recent interview with Miyamoto concerning how certain elements of the gameplay came about. "During much of development, the controls were A for shoot bullets, B to dash, and up on the control pad to jump," said Miyamoto. "The bullets wound up becoming ...

Nice! Glad to see you've found interested actors so quickly. Looking forward to seeing them in-costume. Keep us posted.

This is going to be great.

Danny Wells-style, though whatever style your voice actor can emulate best should be fine as long as it feels right for "Luigi".

Still debating if Luigi should wear green and white, to follow the SMB color scheme. I was going to make him just a clone of Mario like the original designs and games, but I couldn't get myself to do that. I think green and white would be great. I've always liked the original color schemes as a qui...

I know that after Mike that interview might seem a bit redundant, but I'm quite sure Scott can offer a lot of information in areas we've yet to hear on or provide an entirely different perspective. Try to look at him from the angle of a stuntman and a Goomba wrangler rather than a Goomba actor. See ...

Anyone have any questions? C'mon, this guy built Yoshi!

Really great casting. Looking forward to seeing who you can slot into those roles... Any chance on getting a peek of the story or is that going to be a surprise? :P Is this a sequel of the movie or does it take place in the same continuity? At this point I think it'd be better to create a new thread...

Great! I love that kind of consistency from one project to the next. They'll definitely add some talent and perhaps some more range to this cartoon if you're willing to write to their particular nuances. Loving the progress on this.

Someone else created a Facebook account for the movie themselves but haven't updated it in awhile. We've no plans ourselves, though you're free to create one for yourself and I'd be happy to stick around. :) EDIT : As of 12/22/10, we now have our own Facebook page. Read about it in this thread. Than...

Perhaps cutting-room material. If the shooting script by Solomon/Rowe is any indication to go on, the Portal-Keepers would have been mentioned in extended Koopa scenes either cut from the final film or through revisions done by Parker and Terry. The latter seems more likely as at that point they wan...

Hey there. Glad to see you rediscover the movie in this way. Always great for someone to come around so late in the game.

I meant the red shawl Lena is wearing is reminiscent of the similar costume Daisy's mother wears under the Goomba coat. The Portal-Keepers were the elite society that guarded the meteorite chamber and the portal between worlds before Koopa killed them off, leaving only Daisy's mother and Daisy herse...

I just noticed that Lena's red shawl is reminiscent of the one Daisy's mother wore in the beginning of the film. Not entirely the same, but similar enough it makes me think perhaps Lena was trying to get "in-character" for the role of a Portal-Keeper?

Sounds great! I haven't read that particular comic but I imagine Mario repairing pipes would begin a great adventure!

(I moved the thread to General, as asked. Feel free to change the thread title to whatever you prefer)

One thing I'm really noticing in this script is the overabundant use of making sure that everyone knows that Mario's last name is "Mario." And in Mario's conversation with Daniella, it seems like Mario's middle name is also Mario! Not only that, but he's apparently the fourth Mario to be ...
