Live-Action ‘Zelda’ Movie Set for 2027 Release From Sony, Nintendo
“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” director Wes Ball is helming the video game adaptation The post Live-Action ‘Zelda’ Movie Set for 2027 Release From Sony, Nintendo appeared first on TheWrap.
Sony and Nintendo’s live-action “The Legend of Zelda” movie now has a release date – the quest will begin on March 26, 2027.
Wes Ball, who recently helmed “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” will direct the feature, with original videogame creator Shigeru Miyamoto producing alongside Avi Arad.
“The Legend of Zelda” debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan on Feb. 21, 1986, and in North America on August 22, 1987. It followed the intrepid hero Link, who is on a quest to save the princess Zelda. The game and many of the subsequent games were set in the magical realm of Hyrule. Much of that game, like the Triforce and dungeon-crawling, have become staples of the franchise. The most recent game, “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom,” came out on the Nintendo Switch last fall and allowed you to play as Zelda for the first time.
Elsewhere, Nintendo and Illumination’s animated “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” was released in 2023 and made more than $1.3 billion at the global box office. A sequel is in development and will be released by Universal in 2026 with returning voice actors Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day and Jack Black.
There are a number of other live-action video game adaptations opening this year, with “A Minecraft Movie” and “Until Dawn” (from Sony) opening in April, along with sequels to “Five Nights at Freddy’s” (from Universal) and “Mortal Kombat” (from New Line Cinema) opening later in 2025. Video games are also on a hot streak on the small screen, with the second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us” coming soon and additional seasons of “Fallout,” “Gangs of London” and “Twisted Metal” on the way.
