Summary
- The Zelda movie is reportedly signing actors on for three films in total.
- If true, this suggests that Nintendo is already planning a Zelda film trilogy.
- It also seems that filming will take place in New Zealand.
This week, we finally heard more about the mysterious Zelda movie. We know that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it will h🧸it theatres on March 26, 2027, should everything go to plan. This is also being described as a global release date, so we shouldn't have the same situation as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Super Mario Bros. Movie, where it came to differen🎐t 🎃countries on separate dates.
Now, more details are coming out, as it seems that Nintendo and Sony Pictures have high hopes for Zelda's film adaptation. As reported by , industry insider Daniel Richtman says that the Zelda movie will be the first in a trilogy, with the cast signing on for a three-pictur🧔e deal.
Zelda Movie Actors Are Reportedly Signing On For Three Films In Total
This comes from Richtman's , in which he makes several claims about the project. Here, he says casting should be wrapped by August, with shooting running from Novembe𒁏r to next April, which is backed𒆙 up by a .
He then adds that the act꧑ors in "all major roles" will sign on for "three film🌠s over six years". So, we can expect the actors for Zelda and Link at least to appear in the apparent trilogy.
Right now, Nintendo and Sony Pictures have only confirmed that one film is in production. However, given 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the runaway suc🍌cess of The Super Mario Bros Movie, it would make sense for the studios to prepare a Zelda movie series rather than 🍌just stop𒉰ping at the one.
Also noted by VGC, we n෴ow have a synopsis for the film via the aforementioned production listing. As well as seemingly confirming the filming location as New Zealand, we get a basic idea of the plot:
The Legend of Zelda follows Link, a young warrioꦉr destined to protect the magical kingdom of Hyrule from the forces of darkness. The land is under threat from Ganon, a ruthless warlord who seeks the Triforce - an ancient relic said to grant limitless power. To stop him, Link must embark on a perilous journey, battling monstrous creatures, exploring treacherous dungeons, and solving intricate puzzles▨ to uncover sacred artifacts that can aid him in his quest.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:This is goꦜing to be a live-action film, which means seeing the Zelda characters quite differently from how we've known them in the games. With that said, if there is any series that can stick the landing her𝔍e, it's The Legend of Zelda, since we regularly get different i𓄧nterpretations of the cast, with varying designs and characterisations.
It remains to be seen which games, if any, the film draws the most inspiration from. Director Wes Ball wouldn't even name his🌃 favou🍸rite Zelda game out of fear that e꧅veryone would assume that's what the fil🤪m will centre around, so we'll just have to wait for news to come out of the project.
