I never expected this, but i guess a Zelda movie is being made (check the trailer out here http://movies.ign.com/articles/863/863492p1.html (http://movies.ign.com/articles/863/863492p1.html)) I'm feeling a bit skeptical about this movie at the moment for the main reason that movies based on video games have never been good ( the only good one being FFVII: Advent Children in my opinion). Anyways, what are your thoughts on this?
-
Super Mario Bros. says hi (That movie was awesome)
As for that trailer....
APRIL FOOLS FROM IGN! =D
-
It seems like a lot of people are playing April Fools. :lol
-
Don't believe anything you see or hear on april first since everyone is a lier.
-
Take anything with a grain of salt and think about what information can be trusted and which cannot. Extremes like believing or not believing anything no matter what are bound to let you think wrong of something; even on April 1st.
In case of an ever silent character like Link a movie adaptation is very unlikely and if the link was posted on April 1st there is a good reason not to trust it too much.
-
On the contrary Malte, I have actually heard about this movie much prior to today, from friends and coworkers who are fans of the series. I don't follow Zelda enough to have any proof one way or the other, but I'm just saying there is a definite possibility of this actually being completely true.
-
The movie looks promising and interesting, that's true. But Link and Ganondorf don't look quite the part. And I think this movie has been proven to be an april fools joke.
BTW, action9000, maybe they were talking about this other Zelda movie? Contrary to this one, this Zelda movie is actually being made and it's FAN MADE.

Ok, I am very skeptical about this movie. Although I will agree that most movies off of video games are bad, they aren't all bad (Resident Evil, Tomb Raider 1, Mortal Kombat 1...) We could tell that the movie wouldn't exactly follow the games, but judging from the appearances of certain bosses/sub bosses it looks like it's based the most off of Ocarina of Time.
The one thing that will ruin this movie for me is if Link speaks. One word, and the movie automatically stinks.

There's nothing listed under imdb.com about a forthcoming Zelda movie. If there was an official trailer then I'd assume there would be a page up for it on the site. Well, as stated, I agree that the majority of live action movie versions of VGs do tend to be a bit soft (bar a few exceptions). The one I'm quite looking forward to is Resi Evil:Degeneration. It's a new CGI flick Capcom are working on. The trailers are on the DVD of the 3rd instalment of the Milla Jovovich films (which weren't too bad).
On the note of VG movies, is it true there is supposed to be an Metal Gear Solid flick in the pipeline? I've heard talk about it from years ago but is it truly substanciated? Since the movie of Konami cutscenes for MGS are pretty much movie styled already, maybe this one might actually be good...if the rumours are true that is ;)

Uwe Boll, the director responsible for butchering of a handful of videogames with his awful videogame-based movies like House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark, once said he recently got the rights for a Metal Gear Solid movie. Imagine all the negative outburst from Metal Gear fans.
Fortunately Hideo Kojima, the creator and writer of Metal Gear Solid, responded a big, loud "Absolutely not!" when asked if he actually gave the rights to Uwe Boll for making a Metal Gear Solid movie.
So take a deep breath of relief, a Metal Gear Solid movie WON'T happen. And count your lucky stars, Uwe Boll would've ruined the game with making a movie out of it for sure. (Like what he did with House of the Dead, Alone with the Dark, Postal, Doom, and a few others).
-
I'm sceptic. It's a nice idea, but a movie based on a game where the main character only knows how to say :"YAH!" "HIYA" and "OUCH", sounds pretty freaked out! :lol
The Zelda games are great btw, Twilight Princess was to easy though...I beated it in two days :P:
-
I'm surprised, as popular as Zelda is, that no one's tried before. They did make a super Mario movie before.

Lol! A Mario movie? Did they pick a fat italian actor and made him jump onto mushrooms!? That would've been something! :lol:
Still it's intressting how many movies that are based on games, from what i know, they get alot of critisim. I can understand Resident Evil, but not Zelda orMario.
Those must have been made just for fun?
-
I don't know if Bob Haskins is Italian or not. You can see a poster of the movie and the 2 main actors at the wikipedia page about the movie. I remember seeing it on the tv and not caring for it much. As I recall it was like a bad b movie.

It may be one of those movies so bad it's unintentially funny. I don't remember much about it.
-
I gonna look for it on youtube, this just gotta be seen!
-
For any interested I did some looking on youtube and came up with a few links.
There is a critic giving a review of the movie, and it has some clips of the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw7WLSjrYdo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw7WLSjrYdo)
Official trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMZKYnLg5c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMZKYnLg5c)
Part 1 of the movie (10.31 minutes):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v51a3CnhSs&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v51a3CnhSs&feature=related)
part 2 is the first one in related videos area I think.

Haha XD

I actually loved the Super Mario Bros. movie. Sure it had nothing to do with the games but to me it was funny and pretty good. It was goofy, had some references to the games (Mushroom, bullet bills, a super scope-like gun, a bob-omb and of course Yoshi), and it had a not-too-serious plot, just like the games.
-
There are some movies that if you look at them in a non serious light you can enjoy. Including some movies that can be intentionally funny, like some from the 50's for example, or others more recent then that.
-
i used to like the super mario bros movie because back in the day just for the fact that it was mario :lol. Now looking back on it i actually hate the movie.
-
The Super Mario movie was so bad it was hilarious :lol Fair play to anyone who actually like it but I couldn't take it seriously. The fact that an acting leg-end like Bob Hoskins had to bear the red jumpsuit and dungarees made it even more amazing (not in a good way though :P: )
I don't know if Bob Haskins is Italian or not
Definitely not Kor. Bob Hoskins is a British actor (probably one of our best given his age). Given some of his roles he's played (Eddie Valiant - Who Framed Roger Rabbit has to be my fav), I wonder what put him up to it. :lol
Oh, and thanks for clearing the air with the MGS movie Keni. I was a little afraid that yet ANOTHER video game great would surcome to the "crash-and-burn" fate of most movie adaptations. Thank gawd Hideo Kojima has the sense not to let the series plunge to such a depth that could tarnish it's rep. ;)
-
Yes, the games are among the most brilliant ideas in game history!
-
Maybe Bob Hoskins either needed the money, thought it may be fun, had nothing else to do so thought why not, or maybe his house was being repainted or something and this was an excuse to get out.
-
I actually never saw the Mario Bros. movie, and after looking at the poster, I plan to stay away from it.
Some people may disagree, but I think some of the video game to movie adaptations that were seen as flops weren't that bad. I actually enjoyed House of the Dead and Doom, since they are two of my favorite games.

Oh, my god! I love this guy! He is funny! He sure knows how to review video game based movies. XD

Remember the worry I had about the potential of a Metal Gear Solid movie. Apparently it's official! Even imdb.com have a page up about it and it's scheduled for next year so time. Here's the page:
Metal Gear Solid Movie (2009) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808372/fullcredits)
Even MGS's creator Hideo Kojima is supposed to be in on it. Guess that's moreso than what the Resident Evil movies had coz Shinji Mikami didn't want anything to do with them. Will be interesting to see who they have portray roles. Someone said Hugh Jackman as Solid Snake...I really don't know... Views people? :unsure:
-
So it's official, huh? A Metal Gear Solid movie? I looked it up and apparently it's real, Hideo Kojima himself has announced a movie is in development.
This is kind of a mixed bag for me. I mean, I heard a lot of good things about the series, but on the other hand I have this nagging feeling that Hideo Kojima is whoring out Snake and the series, after hearing how he begged to have Snake in the Smash Bros series. No offense to fans, but that's how I feel.
