Behind the curtain, Making of “The Wizard”

wizard.jpgRemember the theatrical advertisement for Super Mario Brothers 3, the Wizard? Geoffrey sent a link with an interview with the director, Todd Holland (thanks!). Holland’s responses are an interesting peek into the dull plot, which could have been much worse. The paper thin traveling through California plotline was Holland’s recommendation. Holland also explains the success of the Wizard relied on having footage from Super Mario Brothers 3, which I wholeheartedly agree with. While cinema and the main stream appeal of video games have come along way

    As bad as the movie is, the NES nostalgia makes it pretty comforting to watch.
