tbh, super mario brothers should have been more about a mushroom addicted italian plumber who keeps thinking he is in a vibrantly colourful world but is actually going around killing people....
i think i watched too many david lynch films
anyway back to the main topic...
It should totally be that the wow movie should be in cgi, the cgi in the opening sequence of the game are truly jaw dropping..... *thinks about the fur coat on the dwarf*
but then it would also cost them a fortune to make.
live action is relatively cheap and not such a big risky venture if done more through a third party
