On the topic of a
Super Mario Bros. movie;
The Hollywood Reporter recently made public the results of their recent, widespread poll which asked readers what video game and/or video game series they would be most interested to see make the jump onto the big screen.
Nintendo and Illumination are probably particularly enthusiastic about the results as;
Super Mario Bros. topped the list. Not only that but subsidiary
Super Mario Bros. series such as
Donkey Kong,
Mario Kart, and
Super Smash Bros. were also present among the results.
Other video games that the general public would like to see adapted into movies are
Pac-Man (which came in second place),
Grand Theft Auto,
Call of Duty,
The Legend of Zelda, and more. You can check out the full list for yourself below (via Gamefragger):
