슈퍼 마리오 브라더스의 제작 (1993): 구술사

1993년, 인기 있는 비디오 게임인 슈퍼 마리오 브라더스의 실사판이 극장을 강타했습니다. 그 영화는 상업적이고 비판적인 실패였지만, 그 이후로 컬트 팬들을 얻었습니다. 이것은 영화를 만든 사람들이 말한 영화가 어떻게 만들어졌는지에 대한 이야기입니다.

이 프로젝트는 1980년대 후반 제작자 롤랜드 조페가 슈퍼 마리오 브라더스의 영화 판권을 획득하면서 시작되었습니다. 그 대본은 여러 번 개작을 거쳤고, 다른 작가들이 그들 자신의 아이디어를 발표했습니다. 결국, 이 각본은 파커 베넷, 테리 룬테, 그리고 에드 솔로몬이 썼습니다.

캐스팅 과정은 매우 어려웠습니다. 로키 모튼 감독은 캐릭터들에 대한 구체적인 비전을 가지고 있었지만, 그러한 역할에 맞는 배우들을 찾는 것은 어려운 일로 판명되었습니다. 결국, 밥 호스킨스와 존 레귀자모가 주인공으로 캐스팅되었고, 데니스 호퍼는 악당 쿠파 왕을 연기했습니다.

촬영은 노스캐롤라이나에서 이루어졌고, 힘든 과정이었습니다. 그 당시 획기적이었던 특수 효과는 특히 도전적이었습니다. 이 영화의 예산은 또한 4천만 달러 이상으로 불어나서, 이 영화는 그 시대의 가장 비싼 영화 중 하나가 되었습니다.

이 영화가 개봉되었을 때, 비평가들과 관객들 모두가 이 영화를 혹평했습니다. 하지만, 수년간, 그것은 많은 관객들이 이 영화의 화려하고 과장된 스타일을 높이 평가하면서 헌신적인 팬층을 발전시켰습니다.

낮은 시청률에도 불구하고, 슈퍼 마리오 브라더스는 여러 면에서 선구적인 영화였습니다. 그것은 최초의 주요 비디오 게임 각색이었고 그 장르에서 미래의 영화를 위한 길을 닦았습니다. 그것은 또한 호스킨스와 레귀자모를 할리우드의 주요 인물로 확립하는 데 도움이 되었습니다.

결국, 슈퍼 마리오 브라더스는 상업적인 성공을 거두지 못했을 수도 있지만, 대중 문화에 지속적인 영향을 남겼습니다. 그것은 오늘날까지도 관객들을 사로잡고 있는 사랑 받는 (결함이 있더라도) 영화 작품으로 남아 있습니다.

 

The Making of Super Mario Bros. (1993): An Oral History

In 1993, a live-action adaptation of the popular video game, Super Mario Bros., hit theaters. The movie was a commercial and critical failure, but it has since gained a cult following. Here is the story of how the film came to be, as told by the people who made it.

The project began in the late 1980s when producer Roland Joffé acquired the film rights to the Super Mario Bros. franchise. The script went through several rewrites, with different writers bringing their own ideas to the table. Eventually, the screenplay was written by Parker Bennett, Terry Runté, and Ed Solomon.

The casting process was a difficult one. Director Rocky Morton had a specific vision for the characters, but finding actors who fit those roles proved to be a challenge. Eventually, Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo were cast as the titular characters, with Dennis Hopper playing the villainous King Koopa.

Filming took place in North Carolina, and it was a grueling process. The special effects, which were groundbreaking at the time, were particularly challenging. The film's budget also ballooned to over $40 million, making it one of the most expensive movies of its time.

When the film was released, it was panned by critics and audiences alike. However, over the years, it has developed a devoted fan base, with many viewers appreciating the film's campy, over-the-top style.

Despite its poor reception, Super Mario Bros. was a pioneering film in many ways. It was the first major video game adaptation and paved the way for future movies in the genre. It also helped to establish Hoskins and Leguizamo as leading men in Hollywood.

In the end, Super Mario Bros. may not have been a commercial success, but it has left a lasting impact on pop culture. It remains a beloved (if flawed) piece of cinema that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
