This is gonna be Disney remake tier slop.
Should have been animated.

This will play in the credits

>Wes Bell
christ
why can video game IPs not get any halfway decent directors?
that is genuinely 90% of the reason there hasn't been a legitimately good video game movie yet

Wait, so you're telling me the months and months of faggots posting that the one tranny was playing Zelda was just ragebait?

>>715679285
Always was

Lonk should be a literal mute in this.

>Zelda actor is 21, Link is 16
>Miyamoto went full /ss/ with this movie

holy based

>>715679467
He should have non-verbal acting. Like, in his first dungeon or whatever, have him be visibly shaking as he deals with the dangers, then have him slowly learn to overcome these fears and get more confident as the movie progresses

>>715679285
She didn't even audition lol. It was just /v/ looking for an excuse to seethe over troons.

>>715678961
Nice

They look like they ought to.

>>715679787
>just going to pretend this shit wasn't spammed on the site for fucking months
alright

This could be a nice way of making the story actually fucking consistent. There's a ton of loose ends that Nintendo never bothered to use
>the masked sorcerer tribe from Twilight Princess is very, very obviously related to whoever created Majora's Mask
>Majora's Mask's backstory about the people of termina rejecting the goddesses and choosing their male giants as gods and how Majora was a curse they sent to them
>the fact that these alternative worlds exist and the Lost Woods serving as a sort of Magician's Nephew esque portal system to other worlds
>flat out said in OoT that the great deku tree and the lost woods serves as a barrier to protect Hyrule from the outside realms
>the shadow realm and it's connection to Hyrule
>the fact that the demon king is a fucking thing
>where the fuck the other two goddesses fucked off to besides Hylia since she reincarnates as Zelda like the avatar

>>715679787

I wish we had ID's and country flags because it would really shed light on the same 10-20 terminally online schizos who make the worst threads, posts and images on this board.

Thank you Miyamoto-sensei. I should never have doubted you.

So you got troon instead of a troon. Good job faggots

Now we're talking

Could be worse. It could be Uwe Boll

They look the parts, but can they act them?

>Hey kid, how fast can you run backwards?

Movie could suck but im glad the Tranny Hunter is not Zelda

>>715682719
The point

Your head

>>715677061 (OP)
Why should I even care when the production team is filled with shitters who make crappy movies. Nintendo isn't known for making good stories so I doubt they'll be much help either.

so good to see trannies losing

>>715679170
They should've gotten Paul W. S. Anderson

Fuck off back to your board tourist

>>715688020
I presume so

What is the obsession with turning everything previously animated or drawn into a live-action movie? I honestly and sincerely do not understand this. If they had just made some 90 minute, Pixar inspired adaptation of OOT, even if it sucked that decision would make sense. But they want to turn a heavily stylized, dungeon crawling, fantasy series into REAL people. Like what in the fuck is the logic with this? Nobody plays the games to see realistic humans, just like your average moviegoer is not going to care about Hylians or Ganon.

>>715688743
>Pixar inspired adaptation of OOT,
Animated films aimed at teens and young adults with a PG13 rating tend to not do well.

>>715679170
If you think that's bad, see who the writers for the movie are. Also, Sony make bad live action movies.

>Wes Ball is a special effects prodigy and already admitted that he wanted his Zelda movie to be mo-cap over a decade ago
>Zelda's actor already has experience with mocap through Final Fantasy
>Neither actor has the proper look for their character, but they they do have voices and accents that suit them

What if they're planning on using some sort of insane, state-of-the art mo-cap/AI/deepfake editing tech to alter the physical looks of the actors so that they look more like the actual characters? Or is that theory too schizo?

>>715679170
Because the good directors are not interested on video games adaptations, their stories are usually very mid for them. You would be very lucky(And I mean monkey paw lucky) if you were to get George Lucas or Nolan to make a Metroid movie, but outside of that, only mediocre directors that are not receiving good offers accept to make game adaptations

>>715689116
What, like Alita? I doubt Nintendo would like that

>>715689170
For Metroid they should get Neill Blomkamp.

>>715688020
She masturbated a horse, kissed a girl and had a sex scene already (no nudity though), so I think she can.

>>715688743
Money, silly goose. Cartoon would make sense in the 90s. Now, 30 years later, nobody would pay to see a Zelda cartoon.

cant say im surprised how many users in this thread are still obsessing over trannies

>>715689332
>She masturbated a horse
Sauce

>>715688829
Don't make it PG13. Push the boundaries of what you can and cannot get away with. You can still handle heavy topics or show violence and be PG.

>>715678961
How can trannies compete?

>>715689181
No, not Alita. I'm thinking of the deepfake technology they used for a younger Tony Stark in Captain America Civil War, Luke Skywalker in Mandalorian, the majority of the lead cast in Martin Scorcese's The Irishman (even though that looked like shit as that was more associated with traditional CGI editing,) overall, something along the lines of that.

>tfw zoomlettes are starting to look more and more appealing to me now

>>715690223
You should hope a 20 years old girl looks appealing to you, fag

>kyoani is down the street.
>Can hire virtually any fucking anime studio to do a full blown movie
>Likes of Toei would choke on dick and beg for more
>get sony pictures of all things to do a fucking live action movie

WHY?

>>715690426
Because no one's going to take an animated movie, let alone a Japanese animated movie, seriously. How old are you?

>>715689485
The second biggest movie on Netflix right now is a fucking cartoon, and has been for some time.

Nintendo honestly should've gone the streaming route with this and released a high-quality anime or animated movie trilogy on multiple streaming networks. The IP isn't popular enough with normies or kids to earn solid box office numbers, and considering the atrocious production crew involved, it won't be able to get by through positive critical, public or social media reception either. The global economy, particularly the US economy, is in the shitter right now, so people aren't willing to spend their money in the movie theaters either, and the film industry's been tanking since Covid - all thanks to people just waiting for these movies to show up on their streaming services anyway.
Just an all-around dumb move from Nintendo, really demonstrates how out-of-touch Shiggy and other execs are when it comes to other entertainment mediums that outside of their little gaming industry bubble.

>Bo Bragason
What an ugly name. Girls names should not have voiced consonants like B and G in them.

>>715690708
They were saying that about the Mario movie too, that there was no way it would be successful.

>>715677061 (OP)
yeah, i'm okay with this

>>715679695
Dude...

>>715690475
Mario movie made gorillion dollars. Nintendo IPs have massive weight on whatever project.

Cast the fish

>>715677061 (OP)
How much did Blackrock pay Nintendo to make them have Zelda completely replace Link as the main protagonist of the series? Both in the games and now also in the movie. This is so maliciously deliberate.

>>715690426
Zelda is popular with westerners, not easterners.
Therefore, Nintendo is stupidly following modernwestern movie trends, and shitty live-action remakes are very trendy right now.

>>715690798
Mario is literally THE mascot face of gaming and was fully animated, which is exactly what both the fans and general audiences wanted. Compare that to Sonic 3 and Detective Pikachu, 2 of the most iconic gaming IPs in the world, and they couldn't even break past the $500 million mark, despite being two of the most iconic gaming IPs in the world.
Even Minecraft, THE most popular game in the world - couldn't even break Mario's box office numbers, because that looked like (and was) shitty live-action garbage from the getgo.
Anyone who thinks Zelda's going to break into billion market, let alone the $600 million mark at this rate (especially with this mediocre cast) is delusional.

>Anyone who thinks Zelda's going to break into billion market, let alone the $600 million mark at this rate (especially with this mediocre cast) is delusional.
This is why it's a movie and not a cartoon.

>>715678961
ready for ganon

Casting unknown actors for these roles is the best case scenario. Let's hope they can actually act as well. Only issue now is the writers, they really don't bode well.
