CTOnews.com, December 6 (Xinhua)-- Nintendo announced on November 8 that it will produce a live-action film called Legend of Zelda, which will be produced by Nintendo and Arad Productions Inc, a studio owned by Marvel filmmaker Ari Arad, directed by Wes Ball, director of the "moving Maze" series, and produced by Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad.

In an interview with American Entertainment Weekly, director Bauer said his vision for the film was inspired by the work of MiyazakiHayao, co-founder of Studio Ghibli and director of "Thousand and thousand fathom."

Bauer told the magazine that he thought the Zelda film would be a great fantasy adventure movie, unlike Lord of the Rings, it was its own thing. "I've always said that I'd love to see a live-action version of MiyazakiHayao. He brings wonderful ideas to things, and I'd love to see such things."

Bauer said as early as 2010 that he wanted someone to put the Legend of Zelda on the big screen, declaring that "it's going to be a great movie." my whole life contributed to this moment. I grew up under the influence of the Legend of Zelda, which I think is the most important asset, if you like, untapped intellectual property. "

The Legend of Zelda series was launched in 1986 and has sold 140 million copies worldwide. In Nintendo's earnings release last month, the latest book, Legend of Zelda: tears of the Kingdom, has sold 1950 copies.

It is worth mentioning that Nintendo's "Super Mario Brothers movie" became a hit, grossing $1.362 billion at the global box office (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 9.752 billion yuan).

In the face of such huge profits, Nintendo must have tasted the benefits of the game film adaptation, so the film adaptation of the Legend of Zelda is also to be expected.
