[nial]

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Wait, live action!?

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.

Nintendo x Sony collab

 

[RavenSan]

Huh. I wonder if it'll be based on a game or an original story.

 

[Alexios]

Should be nice, too bad it's not gonna be anime though.

SONY? NINTENDO GOIN' THIRD PARTY CONFIRMEDED!

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I'm cautious since Avi Arad is involved

 

[Little Mac]

I'd be more excited if it wasn't live action tbh.

 

[Hardensoul]

Should be neat, too bad it's not gonna be anime though.

SONY? NINTENDO GOIN' THIRD PARTY CONFIRMEDED!

Yea was hoping anime too! Especially with Studio Ghibli as animation!

 

[Punished Miku]

Good luck

My dream for a Zelda adaptation is still a saturday-morning-esque cartoon in the world of Wind Waker.

 

[Alexios]

Hope they don't go overboard with CGI, Hyrule is grounded enough to use natural landscapes and what not, just with different style structures, technology, etc., and of course the monsters and everything, rather than try to make a whole new alien fantasy world from the ground up a la Avatar.

 

[Hardensoul]

Sony Nintendo

The feud is over?!!

 

[Banjo64]

Should have been an anime, cool that it’s a joint venture between Sony and Nintendo.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[skit_data]

This will be interesting.
How are they gonna portray Link without it turning into a

-situation.

Edit: Ok, it's being co-founded and distributed by Sony Pictures. A bit unexpected, but it makes this even more interesting.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I trust Shigeru to not let Hollyweird fuck it up with their insanity.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Guess Tom Holland will be Link lol

 

[Dream-Knife]

Wait, live action!?



Nintendo x Sony collab

Wow, I thought they still hated each other.

 

[consoul]

I'm OK with this, provided Link roams the countryside barging into stranger's houses shirtless, breaking their crockery and standing on their tables.

Day one.

 

[linko9]

Not optimistic. Seems like this style would make more sense:

 

[Punished Miku]

Wow, I thought they still hated each other.

They do. But at least Shig can call and bitch someone out in Japanese. Probably the only option.

 

[nial]

Remember the Mario movie thing by Sony Pictures Entertainment?
Also, lol.

They're not going to collaborate with a Japanese animation studio for Zelda after the massive success of the Western-made Mario movie, come on people...

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Both Nintendo and Sony going 3rd party.

 

[Hero_Select]

My dream for a Zelda adaptation is still a saturday-morning-esque cartoon in the world of Wind Waker.

My god that would be so great. The format would be perfect.

Link exploring all kinds of islands and getting into shenanigans

 

[Hardensoul]

Guess Tom Holland will be Link lol

Timothy Chalomet would be better! He does have the more feminine look! Not saying Link is feminine!

But Holland is shorter May fit the build!

 

[balls of snow]

Tom Holland as Zelda.
Mark Wahlberg as Link.
Lets go!

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Dave Batista as Ganon?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Dave Batista as Ganon?

Jim Ryan should play Ganon

 

[Ronin_7]

i'll be there... no matter what.

 

[Nankatsu]

Time to shine Tom Holland.

 

[Danjin44]

Why western creators think everything needs to be live action.....I didn't like it in One Piece and I wont like it here.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Avi Arad? I wish they pitched it to peter jackson, or did creepy puppets like dark crystal

 

[Danjin44]

I wish it was anime by Wit Studio.

 

[Alexios]

Zelda WIlliams as Linkle.

 

[lughnasadh123]

No anime? Thank the gods.

I'd love to see a darker take on the franchise from Guillermo Del Toro.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

I hope it’s based on OoT

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

We are in the worst timeline indeed.

 

[RoboFu]

Live action!? Nnnoooooooooooo!!!

 

[Elder Legend]

Waste of $$$. Go invest in better hardware Nintendo or at least make it CGI instead of hiring cringe actors.

 

[Jubenhimer]

Keep in mind, this is Sony Pictures handling the film, not Sony Interactive Entertainment (Aka PlayStation).

 

[balls of snow]

Is this the first Sony x Nintendo collab since the infamous cdrom backstab.

[MiguelItUp]

Well... I'm gonna hope for the best. I know it was rumored to be Illumination for awhile, especially after Super Mario Bros' success. But, I'm glad it didn't go that route because I really didn't care for the movie personally. It looked nice, and I dug the Easter eggs and nods, but other than that it could've been so much better, lol. It going live action could go in so many ways, but it's too early to jump to any conclusions.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Live action?

Well that's one surefire way to fuck up this franchise. Bravo.

 

[Kilau]

I can’t think of any good reason for this to be live action, ready to be disgusted.

 

[mansoor1980]

sony buying nintendo confirmed

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

sony buying nintendo confirmed

Microsoft buying both

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Wes Ball directed the Maze Runner movies and little else. Are his movies any good? Anything salvageable?

 

[AtomicStarving]

It is real.

 

[Wunray]

Yeah this is gonna be ass but I'll be there to see it.
