Remote work is no problem! The new Mario movie is being produced smoothly during the epidemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the production of many Hollywood movies has been affected. Among them, Nintendo fans are very concerned about whether the new Super Mario movie can still be released in 2020 as originally planned? According to a recent report on the Deadline website, the Super Mario movie produced by Nintendo and Illumination is still under active development during the pandemic, and Illumination's entry into remote work mode has not affected the team's productivity and creativity.

A source familiar with Illumination said that in the past two months, Illumination Studios has maintained a very high level of productivity, innovation and creativity, and various movies are in production. In addition to the "Mario" movie, Illumination is also producing a new Minions movie "The Rise of Gru" and "Sing 2"; two other original movies are also in preparation, but have not yet been announced.

Super Mario Bros. 1993

The last time Nintendo released a Super Mario movie was in 1993 with the live-action Super Mario Bros., but the film was not very successful in terms of box office revenue or media reviews. In Nintendo's third quarter financial report for fiscal year 2020, Nintendo officially announced that it will cooperate with Illumination to shoot a Mario movie, and "Mario's father" Shigeru Miyamoto will also participate in the production of this movie.
