Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
I'll remain optimistic but this is some iffy news so far...

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
Not sure why Nintendo is partnering with Sony 50% this time when they saw such success with Mario and Universal. Sony must have secured rights somehow but Universal's marketing and pull with families is massive.

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
50% chance Timothy gets cast since he ends up in everything.
Also I'm sure Chris Pratt will play an animated voice of someone..

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
'The Maze Runner' director was the best they could do? Seriously?
Maybe the suits at Nintendo just have shitty taste.
Mediocre fantasy movies tend to bomb hard. We shall see how this does.

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
Not sure who else they would get. Nintendo clearly wants to have their hands all over this so they were always going to select a more journeyman director.

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
Yeah, poor choice of director will hurt this.

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
Yea not in love with the producing/writing/directing team. Still trying to envision this without an inflated budget. Zelda is beloved by most videogame fans but not sure it has global appeal. Still, even half of Mario’s boxoffice gross constitutes a win (and top 2 videogame adaptation of all time)

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
Director doesn't matter. Who is Mario's director? I don't think anybody knows without Googling it.

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
Choice of director matters way more for a live-action film.

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
Yeah director matters more for live action. Plus Mario was fairly vanilla so could have done with someone more noteworthy.

Re: Predict the Legend of Zelda adaptation
As a child of the 80s, if this looks halfway like The Neverending Story I am sooo in. The NeverEnding Story’s visuals/style would lend well to a Zelda live action adaptation.
