    Chris Pratt as Gannondorf, Tom Holland as Link, and Danny DeVito as Navi. It’ll be alright.

      Yeah. My first thought was who the fuck would want to play Link? Then I imagined Tom Holland as Link. This is going to be so bad. This is Masters of the Universe for a new generation.

        You’ve contradicted yourself. MotU with Dolph Lundgren was amazing. Was it super accurate to the show, nah, but it was a cool story and Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella made it a blast.

        I didn’t see live action and I’m like why would Tom Holland need to do the voice? Yeah … I thought they were doing well with the Mario Movie …

    I can’t think of a single way this will not suck. I was pleasantly surprised by the Mario movie but that was animated

      who has produced many mega hit films.

      Mega. Hit. Films. Who cares that he has a history of ignoring source material, angering fans, ruining IP? They’re mega hits.

      I said the exact same thing when reading about Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes earlier today.

      I don’t know the director, but it seems like he’s got a visual sense of what’s needed. Visually I think the first Maze Runner was well done (didn’t see 2 & 3) and looking at the trailer for Planet of the Apes I think it matches the films that came before it.

      I am cautiously optimistic that he can take an idea and put it to screen.

      This is going to a difficult film to put together, but I expect when it’s all done the director isn’t going to be the issue. The issue is going to be putting together a good story and having a good story to tell.

      Mario games are all about whimsy and spectacle. Mario 1 has you jump incredible heights and throw fireballs. Mario 2 has you in a dream world with potions. Mario 3 has you travel between unique worlds. Mario World has dinosaurs and secret paths. I could go on, but you get the idea and the movie did an excellent job.

      Hypothetically if we had a Metroid movie it would have to be about isolation. Not complete isolation, but isolation with a sense of being watched or followed, or being in over your head.

      But, we’re talking about Zelda. What makes a Zelda game and in turn a movie a Zelda movie? I think it’s a sense of exploration. It’s an adventure. Think Star Wars, think Indiana Jones, that’s the kind of movie this needs to be.

      What if they adapted Link’s Awakening? An established hero, lost at sea, slowly uncovering secrets of the island. That could work. I don’t think they should adapt that story but that’s the sort of story they need to tell. A fairy boy with a greater purpose. A boy who seeks out his missing father in a storm. A boy trying to rescue his kidnapped sister.

      I think this could work, but it won’t be easy.

      Not only that, but also the producer who forced Sam Raimi to include Venom in Spider-Man 3, and who is responsible for all those Sony/Marvel movies (including Morbius).

    Since Mario was played by the actress who did Linda Belcher, maybe Link should be played by H. Jon Benjamin

    Hear me out people: Orlando Bloom as Link so they can do a funny and say “Link, what do your elf eyes see!?”

      It is ok to fall asleep in 30-100h gaming sessions. I’m sure you can do a 90-120 minute movie.
