I was going to wait till tomorrow to post this, but it’s too cool to pass up:
The Legend of Zelda: The Movie @ IGN
Some info:
Few videogame properties hold the cache of The Legend of Zelda. As a film project, it’s on the scale of Lord of the Rings. But no one has tackled a live-action adaptation of the storied franchise… until today. Production Company Rainfall Films has asked IGN to premiere the very first footage from their live-action Zelda film — a very literal adaptation of the magical epic — and, of course, we said, “Yes!”
Much like the indie gem Cloverfield, this project has been shrouded in secrecy and details kept close to the vest. What we do know is that the film is being written and directed by newcomer Sam Balcomb. Going the route of Star Wars: Episode IV, this production decided to cast all unknowns in the iconic roles. Link is played by JR Killigrew, Camille C. Brown portrays a very Elven Princess Zelda, and Gregory Lee Kenyon stars as Ganondorf. You may, however, recognize Camden Toy (see TV’s Buffy and Angel) in the supporting role as Sahasrahla.
You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this day. The movie will be released next April, so be prepared for the midnight showing and costumes!
EDIT (April 2nd) – Gotcha! April Fools!!
