A new live-action The Legend of Zelda movie has been officially confirmed by Nintendo. For years, Nintendo has sworn off adapting its characters outside of gaming, partially because gaming adaptations have a track record of being pretty poor. Nintendo has one of the most infamous examples of a bad video game movie with the original live action Super Mario Bros. film which was universally panned.
Now, Nintendo is setting its eyes at another massive video game adaptation: The Legend of Zelda. Nintendo is joining forces with Sony Pictures to bring Zelda to the big screen with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director Wes Ball set to direct the film. The Legend of Zelda movie will also be produced by long time Spider-Man producer, Avi Arad.
"I have been working on the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda for many years now with Avi Arad-san, who has produced many mega hit films," said Nintendo game director Shigeru Miyamoto in a statement."I have asked Avi-san to produce this film with me, and we have now officially started the development of the film with Nintendo itself heavily involved in the production. It will take time until its completion, but I hope you look forward to seeing it.
