FROM IGN NOT MINE!
Legend of Zelda Movie Trailer Premiere
Your dreams realized.
by IGN Staff
April 1, 2008 - 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 tod
ay. 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 k
ept 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 Z
elda, 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.
UPDATE
[EDITOR'S NOTE: April 2, 2008 - 12:01 a.m. PST. Yup, you guessed it. The Legend of Zelda trailer featured above is part of an elaborate Apr
il Fool's Day prank. Check back in later today for more details on the IGN/Rainfall Films collaboration that resulted in this "love it or hate it" piece of videogame movie history.]

Dude anything you MIGHT have heard, hasn't taken place. The only nintendo franchise being considered into being turned into a live-action movie right now (if I remember correctly) is Metroid. Orlando Bloom would NOT be a good choice. It has to be a character that looks weak at first, and then G
ROWS into the hero. That's what makes Link cool, he GROWS into one.
1st April!! JOKE!! APRILLSCHERZ!!
