We've got a quick bit of Mario movie-related news for you today:

    * Over the weekend, writer Jamie Russell shared several anecdotes from his upcoming book "Generation X-Box" in which producer Roland Joffé and director Rocky Morton reflect on the film's origin and failure.

    Most interestingly, Joffé is said to remain fond of the film and admits that it has a "strange cult status."

    This article was later covered by IGN, which uses Rocky's quotes to portray him as not entirely at fault for the studio's mistakes. Perhaps people are finally starting to understand that there was no one person or element behind the film's failure?

Something to chew on, right? More updates are coming in the future, but In the meantime, why not strike up a conversation on our message board? We don't bite!
