Nintendo is officially making a Zelda movie, with Wes Ball (The Maze Runner) set to direct and Zelda co-creator Shigeru Miyamoto producing.
On the heels of the record-breaking success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie earlier this year, Nintendo announced this week that it is developing a live-action movie based on The Legend of Zelda. In a press release on Tuesday, Nintendo revealed Wes Ball will direct the movie, while Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Marvel Studios founder Avi Arad will serve as producers. The Zelda movie is being co-financed by Nintendo and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.
'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.' Once the animated Mario movie shot past $1 billion at the global box office, it was inevitable that more Nintendo movies would follow. The gaming company has a massive stable of recognizable worlds and characters.
