We chat with SuperMarioMovie star JackBlack about his desire to return in a sequel, the joy of playing a more vulnerable Bowser, and the comedy in his character's flaws:
In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Mario and Luigi are plumbers from Brooklyn who get pulled into the strange world of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. When pulled into this strange new world, the brothers are separated. Mario meets many strange new characters, including Princess Peach, the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom; Toad, an adventure-seeking mushroom; and Donkey Kong, heir to the Jungle Kingdom throne.
Jack Black: Thank you for the compliment, [and] by the way, I agree with you. I got to see an early cut of the film. And I was thrilled by the way it turned out. It looks amazing. Those colors, especially on that rainbow highway in the Mario Kart sequence, I was like, "Damn, this is like a psychedelic trip." It really transports you, and if you're a fan of the games, you catch all those little Easter eggs and all those characters. They were really true to the source material.
Jack Black: A lot of the work goes in, in the recording studio when you're laying down tracks and doing the lines as they're written. And then you're talking with the director and seeing and thinking, "Okay, maybe we could try it this way, that way, the other way." They left lots of room to explore, and they also did a lot of writing on the day.
