After the success of the Sonic and Detective Pikachu movie, Hollywood is now licking its lips at the prospect of more live-action films (featuring CGI) based on popular video games. It does help, though, to know what the fans want, and according to a recent poll<\/a> conducted by The Hollywood Reporter and Morning Consult, it’s a Mario movie.<\/p>\n

This American-based poll found that 44 percent of the 2,200 respondents were either “somewhat” or “very” interested in a new live-action film based on the Super Mario series. Given how the video game series is, we probably shouldn’t be too surprised. While the 1993 Super Mario Bros.<\/em> film starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper was widely panned, it did gain a cult following over the years.<\/p>\n

Other long-time series like Pac-Man<\/a><\/strong>, Donkey Kong<\/a><\/strong>, Grand Theft Auto<\/strong>, Call of Duty<\/strong> and The Legend of Zelda<\/a><\/strong> series follow Mario. One of the more interesting and possibly alarming picks was a Mario Kart movie. More than 34 percent are interested in seeing this on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Here are the full results:<\/p>\n
