It was lately revealed that The Maze Runner director Wes Ball can be directing a live-action adaptation of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda for Sony Pictures. The filmmaker lately made Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which truly appears to be like prefer it might be an excellent film.
As you may think, Ball has in all probability been concerned with this challenge for a while now earlier than formally signing on and has had a while to consider what he would need to do with the challenge. We don’t actually know what his present imaginative and prescient for the movie is, however because of among the filmmaker’s previous social media posts on X, he presents a bit of perception into what he has considered regarding the fantasy franchise.
In one put up earlier this 12 months, he praised the sport Tears of the Kingdom for its nice story. Then, In one other put up manner again in 2010, the director mentioned: “Since I could never even hope to have the chance to direct it, the next big mo-cap Avatar-like movie should be… THE LEGEND OF ZELDA.”
It’s fairly wild that at one level he considered a Legend of Zelda film, however by no means believed he can be the man to direct it. I do not know if that imaginative and prescient of a mo-cap Avatar-like movie remains to be one thing he envisions for the movie, but it surely may be! He lately had a whole lot of expertise working with mo-cap in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, so he’s bought the talents to make it occur for Zelda.
The film remains to be a methods off from going into manufacturing, however I might like to know what Ball’s imaginative and prescient for the movie is. We’ll simply should be affected person for that data to be revealed. In the meantime, we’ve bought these previous social media posts.
The Legend of Zelda film is being written by Derek Connelly (Jurassic World, Detective Pikachu) and produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, Representative Director and Fellow of Nintendo and Avi Arad, Chairman of Arad Productions Inc.
