Nintendo has announced a live-action film based on The Legend of Zelda, directed by Wes Ball, who helmed the "Maze Runner" trilogy. Variety has the details. How are we all feeling about this?
Most of this poll's respondents — almost half — said they're reserving judgment on the newly announced "Legend of Zelda" movie, though for a sizeable percentage (38%) it was an automatic nope. One respondent said that the only option that would satisfy their kids would be an AI trained on Tumblr posts. And nobody liked our casting suggestion — Chris Pratt as Link.
@CultureDesk My kids go on and on and on about #Zelda games. They even write fan fiction. I can't imagine them loving any version of a live action movie because the writer will have a different understanding of the franchise than they do. Maybe an AI trained on Tumblr posts could come close.
@CultureDesk It is :) For me, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is a game that's very significant and had a big impact on me. This makes me more hesitant to watch the movie because I have ideas of who Link and Zelda are as characters which will no doubt not match those in the movie.
For context, I didn't think the recent Mario movie was very good. Detective Pikachu was OK, but that subverted expectations in a good way.
@CultureDesk Please no! I will lose the will to live. The good thing is that Shigeru Miyamoto is producing the movie, so the likelihood of it being really awful is low. Still, not that excited :)
