Today via a press release, Nintendo finally shone a light on the idea of making a live-action film based off The Legend of Zelda. This sort of thing has been wanted by many for a long time. It's wild to think it's actually in motion now. There are so many questions and speculation to be had. Will Link speak? Will the movie tell the tale from one of the games, or be a new stand-alone story? Will it still be canon to the series as it stands today? (Ganon-Canon TM) It's pretty interesting to see what they've setup for themselves. They've got Arad Productions, who had worked on recent Spiderman films, Uncharted, various other in-process gaming films, and a ton of Pac-Man animations. They've also got Wes Ball who directed the Maze Runner films and the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes film. The latter is a film trailer I just recently saw and while I never cared for the franchise, I thought the trailer looked quite good. Nintendo is putting in more than half the dough for this, so they'll have a heavy hand in it, especially with Miyamoto producing, but Sony Pictures is also supporting, which is just plain funny to be honest. What do you all think about this film news? What's your own speculation have you thinking? What a time to be alive, eh? URL to share this content (right click and copy link) |
