NINTENDO is developing a live-action film for Sony based on THE LEGEND OF ZELDA, creator and game developer Shigeru Miyamoto announced on X/Twitter…
“This is Miyamoto. I have been working on the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda for many years now with Avi Arad-san, who has produced many mega hit films.”
He continued, “I have asked Avi-san to produce this film with me, and we have now officially started the development of the film with Nintendo itself heavily involved in the production. It will take time until its completion, but I hope you look forward to seeing it.”
The movie will be directed by WES BALL, who helmed the “Maze Runner” trilogy and the upcoming “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.”
The film will be co-financed by Nintendo and Sony Pictures Entertainment, with more than 50% financed by Nintendo. Sony will handle the theatrical distribution.
