Nintendo Co., Ltd. (HQ: Kyoto Minami-ku; Representative Director and President: Shuntaro Furukawa, “Nintendo” hereafter) today announced that it will develop a live-action film of The Legend of Zelda.
The film will be produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, Representative Director and Fellow of Nintendo and Avi Arad
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.
I definitely recommend looking at Avi’s filmography. He’s produced some good movies but man… some of those were total stinkers…
The fact that a majority of it is superhero or superhero-oriented I think gives us an idea of what this movie might be like.
edit: a bad producer is in no way a surefire predictor of a bad movie by the way, but it definitely doesn’t help.
