It appears Nintendo and Common are pairing up for a Donkey Kong film, and we hope it is bananas – Destructoid

Nintendo and Common Footage registered copyright for a movement image beneath the identify “Untitled Donkey Kong Undertaking,” signalling that one other Nintendo IP is getting a film adaptation. Following the stellar success of The Tremendous Mario Bros. Filmthat is no shock. I simply hope it’s equally good.

In response to the general public copyright registryNintendo and Common Footage collectively registered an untitled Donkey Kong film on June 6, indicating that the 2 firms are engaged on an adaptation of the long-standing franchise.

Since The Mario Bros. Film did so nicely within the field workplace, it’s unsurprising Nintendo would pursue additional ventures within the movement image scene. In spite of everything, they maintain a number of the greatest IPs in gaming, whereas online game film variations have confirmed fairly profitable.

Whereas we at the moment don’t have any additional info on this potential movie, we are able to assume it’ll be animated like The Mario Bros. Film. It has confirmed a successful components for Nintendo and Common Footage, with the film itself grossing over a billion USD, changing into the most-successful online game film adaptation in historical past.

Although the above doesn’t assure a film will come out, I hope this flick is identical stage of goofy enjoyable and high quality animations that The Mario Bros. Film had. It doesn’t must be critical by any means and might merely be a enjoyable expertise, which as everyone knows is a mortal sin within the eyes of movie critics.

Donkey Kong himself is the proper character for a comedic film protagonist. He already featured within the Mario film, so why not put him middle stage? If Nintendo follows the trail they paved with the Mario flick, they’ll seemingly forged some fashionable Hollywood figures to voice these characters, and I’d like to see an really good Hollywood comic assume the position of the banana-crazed monkey and provides us all a good time (I pray it’s not Seth Rogen once more).
