6/15: Bowser's getting his own Disney movie*

That title has an asterisk, which means there's something fishy about it.

But a character BASED on Bowser is getting his own movie. Disney is prepping Wreck-It Ralph, a film where the 1980s video game villain tries to go good, except he can't. John C. Reilly voices Ralph. There's also room for characters from a first-person shooter and a kart-racing game, and presumably lots of little shout-outs to other games. The whole thing takes place at an arcade, which i guess is how the characters hop from game to game, via their cabinets.

Dennis Hopper, being dead, remains unavailable to take up the Bowser role again.

*Not really.
†Hey, stop reading this. I'm not David Foster Wallace.
