10 More Upcoming Movies That Are In Big Trouble
2. Mario
As with many of the upcoming projects occupying a place on this list, Universal Pictures' bid to finally crack the concept of Nintendo's beloved Italian plumber on the cinema screen is in very really danger of bucking under the weight of sheer fan expectation.
But it isn't just the task of somehow pleasing those long-time fans of all thing Mario in the video game world that will be a tough obstacle to overcome in the finished article itself. Trying to get around the fact many aren't exactly over the moon with the film's chosen voice of the titular icon will likely be a tricky dilemma for all involved in the animated caper, too.
Now, there's every chance the Teen Titans Go! To the Movies duo of Aaron Horvarth and Michael Jelenic will have crafted a concept that actually justifies roping in Chris Pratt to voice the moustached legend.
But if not, and this does turn out to simply be another largely white-washed and lazy attempt at making a boatload of cash off a famous IP with a few stars attached, then there's every chance this character's latest big-screen outing could be doomed out of the gates.
