Charlie Day Wants A Super Mario Movie Spinoff For Luigi's Mansion
Charlie Day says he would love to star in a Luigi's Mansion movie adaptation after portraying the titular character in the Super Mario Bros. movie. Developed and published by Nintendo, the video game franchise centers on Luigi as he wins a mansion in a contest he didn't enter and agrees to meet his brother Mario there. Upon arrival, Luigi discovers the place to be haunted and his brother missing, requiring him to team up with the eccentric scientist Elvin Gadd and his Poltergust 3000 vacuum cleaner to clear the ghosts out the house and save Mario.
Luigi's Mansion proved to be a hit upon its release in 2002, scoring largely favorable reviews for its gameplay, sound design and graphics though also saw some criticism for its short length. The game has also sold over 3.3 million copies as of 2020, sitting as the fifth-best-selling GameCube game of all-time and was one of the first to be re-released under the special Player's Choice label on the console. This success would spawn two sequels, the Nintendo 3DS title Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon in 2013 and Luigi's Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch in 2019.
