‘Legend of Zelda’ Live-Action Movie in the Works From Sony, Wes Ball – The Hollywood Reporter
Wes Ball will direct the live-action feature for Sony and Nintendo, which is extremely protective of its IP when it comes to Hollywood adaptations.
this is just a terrible idea. i cant imagine in any capacity how this doesnt turn into a full on disaster.
I really don't understand how with the success of The Mario Movie, they didn't just go "let's do that again, but with another IP".
That would require having common sense soooooo
I will only be satisfied if Link says, "exCUUUUSE me, princess!" at least once.
I would be satisfied if that's his only line in the movie
I hope to hell Link doesn’t speak a goddamn word in this apart from “Heeeee-ya!”
It would feel weird as hell.
That's the me of the many reasons why that excuuuuse me princess link someone posted felt so wrong.
It is not going to be great given their choice for the writer…
Oh no :(
Only if every five minutes Navi yells “Hey, listen!”.
Chris Pratt is gonna be Link, right?
Well this is going to be an interesting one to watch what happens. Nintendo seem to have an idea of the story and direction but I’ve never felt you could translate a Zelda game faithfully to a single film. Maybe using an original story will mean a slightly different approach. But the games are all about exploration and dungeons. I don’t see how classic dungeons would work in film, but I could see the smaller BotW and TotK type dungeons working. But then I don’t see a film where the hero goes to 4 of them, fights a boss in each and then goes to fight another boss in Ganondorf to work as great film. Maybe something very different is needed that will fit the film media for a Zelda inspired film.
The irony.
Nope
