Wes Ball has been assigned as the director for The Legend of Zelda project. Notably, he’s recognized for his work on all three Maze Runner films. Most recently, Ball oversaw the production of the latest installment in the Planet of the Apes series, titled Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Nintendo and Sony Pictures are teaming up financially and handling the distribution of the upcoming “Zelda” film. Shigeru Miyamoto, Joe Hartwick Jr., and Avi Arad will serve as producers for this project.
In 1986, the epic tale known as “The Legend of Zelda” was introduced by Nintendo. This game centers around a character resembling an elf, named Link, along with Princess Zelda, who together battle against the wicked ruler Ganon to protect the mystical land of Hyrule.
Nintendo aims to broaden the scope of its cinematic influence, capitalizing on the global success of 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which raked in more than $1.3 billion at box offices worldwide.
The Legend of Zelda is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 7, 2027.
