Much like the gaming series, the animated flick follows Mario's quest to stop the evil Bowser from conquering Princess Peach's kingdom.

Joining Pratt on the voice cast are Charlie Day, Anya-Joy Taylor, Jack Black, and Seth Rogen – need we say more?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie will crash into theaters on April 5.

Russell Crowe's presence on the big screen has been sorely missed.

Therefore, viewers shouldn't second-guess whether to watch this upcoming horror flick based on memoirs An Exorcist Tells His Story and An Exorcist: More Stories.

The Pope's Exorcist is based on the real-life events of the late Catholic priest Gabriele Amorth who was rumored to have performed thousands of exorcisms.

For those who are fans of similar thrillers like The Conjuring and Amityville Horror, this flick is right up your alley!

The Pope's Exorcist hits theaters on April 14.
