"Nintendo Planning Zelda Movie? November 18, 2005 by: Ray Almeda RUMOR REPORT: Reggie Fils-Aime claims that the company is already planning a Zelda film. News hot off the gaming press include plans for making a motion-picture based on the undeniably beloved Legend of Zelda series. Mexican magazine Club Nintendo, basically the Spanish-language equivalent of Nintendo Power, quoted Nintendo executive vice-president of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aime as saying that the company is indeed planning a Zelda film. Knowing that the magazine is fully supported by Nintendo themselves, it's difficult to question the authenticity of this report. In addition to this response in the maagzine's letters section, Fils-Aime also mentioned the current back-stage efforts on the Metroid movie. With that, there was also pre-done notions discussing a Zelda film after that, with another Mario motion-picture possibly following. Although the news may be a bit disheartening knowing that the Metroid movie has yet to begin production, the Zelda film may still be possible if the Samus Aran-based motion picture proves anticipated and successful. Take this piece of news with a grain of sort, although knowing that the possibility still remains will have gamers giddy for the years to come. "

as long as Orlando Bloom does not play Link

11/23/2005 4:50:54 PM

i wonder if it'd be adult link, child link.... or some teenage link or something. my guess is teenage

11/23/2005 4:52:58 PM

Maybe they would make it start out as child Link or have flashbacks or time travel (like in Ocarina of Time) or something. It would have to span a pretty long time to make it as epic as any of the games.

look on the bright side, it can't be worse than the Doom Movie...

11/23/2005 5:48:27 PM

I see Leo Dicaprio playing Link.

11/23/2005 5:52:36 PM

this could be animated or CGI.... or did it say it was live action?

11/23/2005 8:21:23 PM

oh dear. ernie is gay.

11/24/2005 3:25:48 AM

I know they're gonna find a way to fuck this all up.

11/24/2005 12:38:57 PM

Has there ever been a GOOD movie based on a video game?

11/25/2005 9:34:07 PM

Super Mario Bros.

11/25/2005 11:05:05 PM

were there any video game movies before mario bros?

11/25/2005 11:23:46 PM

Sweet!!! <3 fantasy movies, and <3 Zelda!! Link better be some hot guy, and hope its not totally cg...

11/26/2005 12:05:40 AM

I think the only way it would be decent would be if it were all CGI. Like that Final Fantasy movie a few years ago... it looked incredible (even though the actual movie sucked). I would imagine they would have made some improvements in CGI by now so that it would even better. But the thing is that I really REALLY doubt they they could capture how epic some of the Legend of Zelda video games were. Besides, the only person scary enough to play Ganon/Ganondorf would be Michael Jackson.

11/26/2005 3:47:44 AM

if they aren't going to do a metal gear movie then just give up on the genre all together

11/26/2005 3:49:12 AM

Wow. I'm sure this will save hollywood by bringing everyone back to the theaters

I for one blame downloads for poor theater attendance.

You mean there is a way to make it good?

^^If they did make it CGI then wouldn't people get bored with watching it. Would you rather play Zelda or watch someone else play it?

11/28/2005 8:28:42 AM

even if it looked incredibly awesome and all the reviews were immaculate, I couldn't bring myself to go to a ticket window and ask for a ticket to a Legend of Zelda movie.

As much as I'd love to have some numbers to back up my response, but don't you think that the lack of any actually good movies for the past, oh I dunno decade or so, might be a reason that attendance is low?

^Need a new sarcasm detector? Hence the first sentence in my post.

^It's not that I need a new sarcasm detector, it's just that I don't have one at all.

I've had problem judging other people's sarcasm my whole life, though, so I'm use to it.

11/28/2005 12:31:17 PM

Usually means sarcasm

In that case, I am blind and have the reading comprehension of a preschooler.
