Chris Pratt Interview: Finding the Right Voice for Mario & the Future of Jurassic World
260How do you step into the shoes of arguably one of pop culture’s most iconic video game characters? That very challenge is the big boss that Chris Pratt and Charlie Day had to face off with in Universal Pictures’ The Super Mario Bros. Movie. While Illumination and Nintendo joined forces to tackle the candy-colored world-building, it was up to Pratt and Day to find the essence of the beloved Goomba-stomping duo, Mario and Luigi.
In the upcoming action-packed adventure, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is taking audiences down the pipe alongside the plumbing brothers, and giving us a brand-new look at the expansive universe from Rainbow Road to Donkey Kong Country. When Luigi (Day) becomes an ensnared victim of Bowser’s (Jack Black) relentless attempts to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario (Pratt) teams up with the mysterious world's residents including Keegan-Michael Key’s Toad and the Mushroom Kingdom ruler, Princess Peach voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy, to take Bowser down and save his brother. All of our favorite friends and foes come alive in Mario’s quest to become Super Mario!
Leading up to The Super Mario Bros. Movie's April 5th release, Collider’s Perri Nemiroff got the chance to chat with Pratt and Day about the process of finding their voices as two of the most widely-recognized video game characters of all time. During the conversation, the pair also pinpoints their real-life Mario Bro., and Pratt shares what corner of the Jurassic Park realm he’d like to see the franchise explore next.
