Well before this week's shock announcement of a Legend of Zelda film, the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director had ideas for a Nintendo adaptation.
Yesterday, Nintendo and Sony Pictures teamed up to deliver the shocking news that they were working on a live action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda. Even more so, they’d found their director already in Maze Runner and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Wes Ball. But it turns out Ball has had a long, long time to think about this.
” Although Zelda fans have longed for a movie for almost as long as the franchise has been around, it’s fair to say that a live-action adaptation was not itself high on anyone’s wishlist for the series—animation was always the seemingly logical choice to take on Zelda and its own penchant for evolving and iterating on its stylistic moods over the course of the games. But... maybe Ball is onto something with Avatar.
