The Wizard Movie Writer David Chisholm

Written By: David Chisholm

It was the movie that perfectly encapsulated the explosion of video games and made Nintendo Entertainment System a household name (and arguably the most influential console to date). Besides entertaining droves of young gamers, The Wizard promised that playing Super Mario Bros. 3 wasn't wasting time - it was investing it.

But like so many gamers inspired by the events of the 100-minute-long Nintendo commercial, scriptwriter David Chisholm ran into a few speed-bumps afterwards. If Nintendo had turned their film projects into a legitimate venture, Chisholm would've been a no-brainer. But history isn't written by ten-year-olds.

TV work followed, but Chisholm was never again able to create an axiom as timeless as "I love the Power Glove." Perhaps it was futile to attempt it.
