Back in 2018, it was announced that Nintendo was teaming up with Illumination Entertainment in order to bring to life an animated movie based on the long-running and iconic Super Mario Bros. franchise. Almost exactly a month ago, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa provided an update on the project — stating that production is "moving along smoothly."
Well, it seems that the general public are particularly excited for a cinematic adaptation of Super Mario Bros. — at least based on this new poll. The Hollywood Reporter enlisted its readers to vote on their "most wanted video game film." That is to say, movie adaptation of a popular video game (or video game series).
The site recently shared the results of this poll and they're certainly interesting. For starters, Super Mario. Bros topped the list by quite a substantial margin. Interestingly, the third and fourth spots are essentially held by the Super Mario Bros. franchise as they're Donkey Kong and Mario Kart respectively. Meanwhile Pac-Man sits in second.
Other Nintendo franchises, such as The Legend of Zelda, follow along with many well-known properties — like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty. Given the reach of the poll, it's pretty fascinating to see what video game movies people would be interested in seeing.
