So, Brian Tyler is to score The Super Mario Bros. Movie. What a surprise. I was expecting Henry Jackman to score the Movie. But, oh well.
i was expecting Illumination’s go to guy at the moment, Heitor Pereira
I was expecting Lorne Balfe lol
Close enough.
Really wanted Grant Kirkhope to score it. He really wanted to do it.
I’m really excited for the movie to come out this April and I hope that the score from this movie is amazing when it comes out. I’ll probably listen to it thankfully some of Koji Kondo‘s music is going to be heard in the movie. I am proud and thankful to be a Nintendo and a Mario fan and thankfully 2023 is definitely a good year for Nintendo because of super Nintendo world
Just saw the movie and the soundtrack was the best part. Maybe even overloaded with Mario Themes from all different kind of games. Hope this gets a release, but they would be dumb to not release ist.
Tyler said on instagram that the soundtrack will be out on friday and the artwork is out now.

Even tho we had some doubts, Tyler delivered what it’s now one of my most replayed scores, I hope he keeps working on more Nintendo related projects in the future.
Speaking of which, what composer would like to compose for a Zelda movie?
To be honest, I would pick someone like Howard Shore or Alan Silvestri for a Zelda movie, even though it would likely never happen.
I love Brian Tyler’s Mario score BTW. It’s so good!
That would be awesome, McCreary too
