Legendary video game composer, Grant Kirkhope, recently revealed on the podcast Kiwi Talks<\/em> that his goal in the immediate future is to compose for Illumination’s CGI Mario Movie – scheduled to make its big-screen debut in 2022.<\/p>\n

Kirkhope feels he knows Mario enough at this stage after working on Mario + Rabbids<\/a><\/strong> (and even composing Banjo-Kazooie<\/strong> music<\/a> for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong>) and believes he’s someone who could help bring Mario to life on the silver screen.<\/p>\n

\n

“I know Mario and I know working with Nintendo, I know what they’re like about protecting their music, and they’re very….they want you to respect the character and I’ve got that, I know how to respect Mario and I really think I could do a good job with the Mario movie.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His concern is that he’ll “probably” get nowhere near it, because they’ll hire some “Hollywood triple-A guy” instead, but he still thinks he could do a good job.<\/p>\n

\n

“So I’m trying to get myself in the frame for that, I have a few little connections that are probably going to go nowhere, but I’m actively trying to do something about that…but I doubt very strongly I’d get anywhere near it.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Not long after this, Kirkhope restated his case as to why he should be given this opportunity:<\/p>\n

\n

“Nintendo know me well, so like you know…Nintendo are going to be super protective about that IP because that’s their biggest IP they have.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“They know how respecful I am of their properties, they’ve worked with me before, they know that I’m completely easy to work with, I’ll do whatever they want, so you know I feel like…I just feel like you know, I could do a good job.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“I would pour my entire life and soul into that project for as long as it takes to make it briiliant.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Change.org petition<\/a> has now been set up to help Grant Kirhope get noticed by Nintendo and Universal and score his dream job after he joked to “get a petition going”. Feel free to sign it yourself and show your support.<\/p>\n
