Movies based off of video games have had a checkered past in the movie business, with a number of failed projects arriving over the years. Some of the best video game movies arrived recently, and chief among them is Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic's The Super Mario Bros. Movie (which is streaming now with an Amazon Prime subscription). While we wait for news about a sequel, it looks like a beloved Nintendo character might be getting a spinoff.
The first Super Mario Bros. Movie was a billion dollar hit, and fans immediately started asking for a sequel. After all, there's a huge catalogue of characters that didn't get to appear yet. One that did make an impact was Seth Rogen's Donkey Kong, and it's rumored that he might be getting his own movie. Online public records indicate that Nintendo and Universal have applied for an "Untitled Donkey Kong Project", which will be a full motion picture. Does that mean a spinoff is happening?
