The potential for a Zelda movie is absolutely huge and Entertainment Weekly managed to get an interview with the upcoming film’s director, Wes Ball. Mr. Ball makes it very clear in the interview that he is a huge Zelda fan and says that he is aiming to create a legendary Hayao Miyazaki-style live action film which will explore the lore of the franchise and the mystical elements to create an unforgettable experience for cinema goers. Here’s what he had to say:
Ball describes his vision as “this awesome fantasy-adventure movie that isn’t like Lord of the Rings, it’s its own thing. I’ve always said, I would love to see a live-action Miyazaki. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I would love to see something like that.”
“It’s going to be awesome,” Ball promises. “My whole life has led up to this moment. I grew up on Zelda and it is the most important property, I think, that’s untapped IP, if you will. So we very much are working hard to do something. We’re not just trying to do it because we can. We want to make something really special.
