Starring Danny Devito as Navi

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 19 points 6 days ago

Come on, we all know it's gonna be Jack Black or Chris Prat.

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Awe, I was hoping he would get cast as Tingle. Maybe Charlie Day could repurpose Green Man, instead.

Kooloo-Limpah!!

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 5 points 6 days ago

Ok but I would love that

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

this would be an upgrade to the baseline expectation

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 40 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I really wish people would quit doing this. Not every IP needs to exist in all forms of media and video games rarely make for good movies.

[–] Sebastrion@leminal.space 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

True but I have to admit... I love the damn Mario Movie. It's such a fun brainless ride.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago

I loved the Mario movie too (a very cursed phrase in other days huh?) but IMO Zelda should have taken the animation path too... Heck, even the anime format would fit (something similar to Castlevania anime).

I have always found it funny that my gf does not like anime, but she is a Zelda fan (literally is the only franchise she plays) and you can quickly catch all the quirks and gags that you get from the Zelda games that are just anime-like.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Sure, but if you only look at recent history, Super Mario Bros, Sonic 1/2/3 & Detective Pikachu all did great. Sure there are bad ones that came out recently too, but you always assume (even if incorrect) you'll make a good one.

Can't wait to see Chris Pratt dressed up like a sword-bearing twink, assuming this will be like Mario

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Chris Pratt dresses up like link and zelda and Ganon. Chris Pratt will play all the characters in the upcoming zelda movie.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Except the ones played by Jack Black.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The role of Jack Black will be played by Chris Pratt

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I like where this is going the movie is a meta movie about the making of the zelda movie. Directed by Wes Anderson but Wes is also played by Chris Pratt

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Pratts all the way down

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Tingle will be played by Patton Oswalt.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Jack Black plays every role, most especially the sword-bearing twink, not to mention the princess.

If they don't call back to some of the '89 cartoon, I'm not interested.

Honestly, this is the first line that came to mind as soon as I saw the announcement.

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I hope it’s good so that we can be closer to getting a Star Fox or Metroid movie.

[–] philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Keep in mind Sony are the producers…

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What, the Marvel movies dont inspire confidence or something? Have you not Morbed this week?

[–] philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

If the studio can stay out of Wes Ball’s way, then I think it could actually have potential. But Avi Arad is involved and so I’m not confident they can do that.

Pretty hesitant about this one. Mario at least had a precedent of entertaining if not high quality adaptations. Zelda has, what, the cartoon with obnoxious Link and the CDI games?

Not saying those aren't entertaining in their own right but good golly would I not like to see a modern interpretation of those particular interpretations.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Can't wait for two painful hours of "well excuuuuse me, princess"

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago
[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Nintendo should’ve just hired a big hitter animation studio to make this. Live action is probably gonna end up with Japanese pop idols in shitty wigs and nylon costumes.

[–] Puzzlehead@reddthat.com 0 points 5 days ago

I will be 41 when this comes out. I want to see it.

[–] ieightpi@lemmy.world -2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I know this is copium but if they felt the need to make a live action Zelda movie, maybe the next game be less colorful like the last 3 mainline games (SS, BotW, Totw).

Edit: changed anime inspired to colorful

I'm really hoping for something more like Twilight princess
