Star Man (film)

Star Man is a superhero action film loosely based off the Nintendo video game series Super Mario Bros. It is a sci-fi style re-imagination of the character and the world of the character.

Plot Synopsis
There is a distant planet where strange creatures walk among the land. A planet inhabited by humans, humanoid mushrooms, intelligent apes, and dinosaurs. The Mushroom Kingdom is a kingdom led by Princess Peach Toadstool, who inherited rule after her parents were murdered by the Koopa Empire. The Koopa Empire is an empire of barbarian creatures, mainly dinosaurs, turtles, and dragons. Some are even combinations of the three. They are led by Emperor Bowser, a Koopa that can take many forms but usually chooses to be a mix of all three kinds. The Mushroom Kingdom is also home to humanoid mushrooms called "Toads". In the Mushroom Kingdom society, the humans are the upper class and the Toads are usually the servant class. Mario is one of the few poor humans in the Kingdom. He and his brother Luigi are plumbers that are disrespected by the higher class. Soon Peach's cousin, Daisy, sees great power in Mario. She gives him magical mushrooms and flowers. The mushrooms give him strength and invulnerability, while the flowers give him pyrokinesis and cryokinesis. Daisy will convince Peach and the council to let Mario fight the Koopa Empire and save the Kingdom. Throughout his journey, Mario will meet new friends, such as a flying velociraptor-like species called Yoshis, and make new enemies, such as the king of the apes-Donkey Kong.

The world of the film is meant to resemble that of Skull Island from King Kong (2005), Pandora from Avatar, and Krypton from Man of Steel.
