Surprising collab between Nintendo and Sony Pictures

"The film will be produced by Nintendo and Arad Productions Inc., and directed by Wes Ball. The film will be co-financed by Nintendo and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., with more than 50% financed by Nintendo. The theatrical distribution of the film will be done worldwide by Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc."

Guess who voted for "Tom Ireland"?!

Bad idea you just know sonys going to get the blame when it's dogshit

Live action? Its gonna be shit. Well, more accurately, its not gonna be like the games. Whether new or old style Zelda, I have no faith in anyone to consolidate the exploration and wonder of the series' games into only 2 hours.

Miyamoto is on the list, it is not that bad isn't it.

Also Tom Holland as link lol. Link is short.

Sony Pictures is probably my least favorite movie studio known to man, with their last two video game films being turds like Gran Turismo and UnchartedHolland. Judging by the reaction to the director choice this will likely be just as bad. I think the IP alone will make it do well though regardless of quality.

Tom is extremely short, like a small twink. He could play a teen.

Somehow they got the most M&A budget is beyond me.

Next week Nintendo walks on stage and announce that the film will be distributed world wide by Paramount Picture shocking Sony and the world.

Gran Turismo was great tho...they also made "The Boys" and the best movie of the year, Across the Spiderverse.

Exactly, tom holland is much closer to a Link than a Nathan Drake.

I'm also interested to see if Zelda will have the appeal of casuals. We know it's a powerhouse video game franchise, but I don't know any non nintendo fan that has ever name dropped zelda.

Tom Ireland would be a great stage name

Yea that why I mentions it.

The original Zelda game also depict Link as an redhead, so basically Irish, the fking outfit is also look like leprechaun.

Netherlands also Irish.

Oh god, he checked every box. It is destined isn't it?

For Zelda I would’ve figured an anime would be the safer bet. Something had to break the barrier for Nintendo and live action though so it may as well be this.

 

[Yurinka]

Can't wait to see Tom Holland as Princess Zelda, Ice Cube as Link and Ru Paul as Ganondorf.

Now seriously, I think having Nintendo with Miyamoto, Sony and Avi Arad in the production I think there are many chances that it's going to be pretty ok and super successful. Now we have to see how capable are the director and writers and how respectful are going to be with the original material.

I think it's relatively easy to do something good for them. But also way easier to make a giant turd.

They should hire Alexander Sarsgaard to play Link.

You might want to take a closer look at the shitty photoshop fanart in the tweet you have in that posts.

That’s NOT official, and it’s PAINFULLY obvious.
