The Legend of Zelda Live-Action Movie Will Take A Surprising Direction - IGN The Fix: Entertainment
487The Legend of Zelda live-action movie director Wes Ball has big plans for Link's awakening on the big screen. While speaking to Total Film, he spoke about the importance of getting the tone of the Zelda property just right for fans to fully immerse themselves in the world as it unfolds in live-action. The quote reads, "I want to fulfill people's greatest desires. I know it's important, this franchise, to people, and I want it to be a serious movie. A real movie that can give people an escape." He goes on to describe the world he wishes to create as something that’ll feel real to audiences, as well as maintaining that fun and whimsy that’s been established in countless #Zelda games. The Legend of Zelda movie is coming to us from Nintendo, of course, as well as Sony Pictures. Miyamoto-san will be there to produce the film with Jurassic World writer Derek Connolly reportedly handling the script. No word on if the movie will adapt one of Zelda’s numerous storylines or create something original. But based on what we saw play out in the Mario movie, it’s likely we’ll see an original story with elements from the previous games sprinkled throughout.
