This is news that no one expected, or at least that no one wanted to hope for because it seems so improbable. And yet, Nintendo comes fromformalize a movie The Legend of Zeldaundoubtedly to ride on the success of the excellent animated film Super Mario Bros. The filmwhich grossed over $1 billion at the box office.
But The Legend of Zelda will be very different from Super Mario Bros. The filmbecause it will be a feature film in live-action ! The film will be produced by Shigeru Miyamotothe father of the franchise will obviously be there to monitor all this (as he did with Super Mario Bros. The film), And Avi Arad will also be producingwith his company Arad Productions. He is best known for producing superhero films Marvelas well as adaptations Uncharted And Borderlands. Funny thing, the film will therefore be produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment And Nintendobut the latter will still participate in more than 50% of the budget to have better control.
As if that wasn’t enough, we already know the name of the director of the film live-action The Legend of Zeldaand it will be Wes Ballbest known for the trilogy The labyrinth and the future Planet of the Apes: The New Kingdom. Concerning the casting, it will be provided by Sony Pictures Entertainmentand we will have to wait to find out. Nintendo adds:

By becoming deeply involved in film production with the aim of making everyone smile through entertainment, Nintendo will continue its efforts to produce unique entertainment and bring it to as many people as possible.
The film live The Legend of Zelda is therefore only the next step in the long adventure of Nintendo At the movie theater.
