The fact that Wes is an actual Zelda fan gives me so much hope. This seems like it’s going to be a passion project for him rather than another big movie he needs to make. He’s a fan so he knows the charm Zelda has. If it’s a CG movie using motion capture I genuinely think it’ll be the right move and my hopes for the movie just shot up

@darken27 6 месяцев назад

@rocco5361 the original Super Mario Bros movie (although to this day, one of my absolute favorites, despite the flaws) was made at a time when video game movies weren't really a thing. They assumed that the mario namesake would be enough to draw audiences, and in turn, profits, regardless of whether it was good or not. It's specifically why they have been so hesitant to pursue movies using their characters since then.

@nahor88 6 месяцев назад

I really hope Zeltik is right about the CG direction... as someone that has cosplayed Link multiple times, it's HARD to get his look exactly how it is in the games. I'm sure with the huge budget this movie will have they could get it very close, but we're accustomed to the game physics making him move a certain way, especially his hat. Aonuma himself said they got rid of Link's hat cuz they couldn't make it "look cool" anymore with the updated animations and art style. When you get the classic Link outfits in BOTW/TOTK, he's kinda right that the cap moves really awkwardly while Link is running. The shield on his back is the other oddity... it's not abundantly clear HOW he gets his shield to sit perfectly on his back. The best assumption is that it's hooked to his scabbard, but how?

@Ellary_Rosewood 6 месяцев назад

This really needs to be a passion project, just like The Lord of the Rings was. That's what made that trilogy so great and why they remain (in my opinion) the best films of all time.

@@tinker_belle41depends on where they look for actors from. It might be easier to find a shorter actor if they cast an Asian actor in the role than a European actor for example. Also, there’s probably more shorter actors than we realise, it’s just that they have a harder time getting work because casting directors prefer tall actors for leading men. Edit: thinking about it they could possibly compensate for a Link actor who’s a couple inches too tall by making sure all the other actors are a little taller than normal, thus making Link look shorter by comparison. And of course this issue goes away completely if they go the full mocap route as they can just digitally shrink the model down in the computer.

You said Nintendo is likely financing over half the movie's budget, and that being well over hundreds of thousands of dollars. I think you meant hundreds of millions. The movie, if it is an Avatar-style CG movie, will cost maybe 300-400 million, so I can see Nintendo putting up 250 million. It's chump change to them and it gives them total creative control over the process, which is precisely what Avi Arad doesn't need to have.

Even if it is amazing on all fronts, doesn't mean non Zelda or gaming fans would watch it. There's definitely money to be made though, it just needs to be marketed correctly and be a good film. 300 million is a massive budget either way, but definitely could make 1 billion

I already imagined they would use Motion Capture for this film. It would make sense to capture an actor's performance in a digital character.

Thanks for this deep dive on Wes Ball! It’s also important to note that just because the producer has had his hands in some pretty poor projects, that doesn’t mean this movie will be bad necessarily.

I hadn't even thought about mo-cap. The Zora, Rito, and Goron races will almost certainly use mo-cap. It's also pretty likely for Ganondorf.

@jmn327 6 месяцев назад

My personal preference has always been either hand-drawn animation (said below, but Ghibli-style is the dream for something like this, even if it's not a realistic possibility) or live action; CGI/mo-cap isn't bad to me, but just isn't my preference. Still, ultimately the movie will rise or fall on its characters, story, and worldbuilding/immersive qualities - any style could potentially make that work.

@liquidalumina7141 6 месяцев назад

I personally don't see why people pick Ghibli specifically, I guess for something like the newer games it makes sense, but in general I just don't picture it, I always had two visions (maybe 3, but the third one isn't something I would prefer) either something like that Kid Icarus animated series AKA the same animation from Palutena's trailer in Smash For or something like the promo art from Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, those were my best interpretation on how a Zelda adaptation would look like back then, the third option I considered was something like the Final Fantasy movies, but that's more of a desperate option

@jmn327 6 месяцев назад

@@liquidalumina7141 I think there are a few reasons; one is that the classic Ghibli style, which goes back to the 80s, feels of a time with the original 1987 Zelda. Beyond that, Ghibli's long history of detailed backgrounds and environments, especially of forests and mysterious places (e.g. Totore, Mononoke, Spirited Away, etc.), fit what a lot of people picture for Zelda, and their work on stories like Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa make it seem like they could capture the character dynamics, action, and settings people often associate with the series. One of Miyazaki's hallmark as a filmmaker is his focus on the "silence" in cinema, and Zelda is a series really stepped in meditation on place and environment, complete with a silent hero. Obviously Breath of the Wild was the Zelda game to feel the *most* influenced by that style, but there's always been a bit of a vibe they could mesh together. Again, though, Nintendo will want this to reach the widest possible audience, so there's no way it'll happen, anyway.

@SchriyJ Месяц назад

Hey Zeltik, I'm currently a Screenwriting BFA at USC's School Of Cinematic Arts and I've worked in the industry for a few years. I'd like to give a bit of a perspective on how Mo-Cap and digital cinematography is actually used within the film industry. Much of the time, Mo-cap is a MASSIVE money saver within the industry, however, that being said for films such as Avatar, and Planet Of The Apes, money becomes a much bigger issue. When films use entirely digital characters and scenes that try to mimic photo-realistic filmmaking, things start to go downhill due to budget constraints. Having live actors play human characters is normally the standard (such as in the first Avatar film). So, as you said, Zora, Goron, and Rito will most likely be Mo-Caped. that being said, I want to make it clear that despite the success of films like Avatar, and Planet Of The Apes, most of the time when fully CG films are made to be photo-realistic, they fall into the uncanny valley rather easily and quickly. My personal hope is for Wes to create the Zelda film more akin to a mix of Lord Of The Rings level storytelling, with the action and CGI of his Maze Runner films. Best, -Riley

I think that some of the physical feats that Link can pull off almost require him to be mo-capped or animated.

@timtnt1293 6 месяцев назад

Considering how accurate Nintendo likes to be with the representation of their characters, motion capture seems like the option they're more likely to go with. Nintendo is probably going to try and bring the franchise to life as much as they can, and this seems like the best way to do it in my opinion (if they aren't going with animation of course).

@arkenn3497 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Zeltik, this is comforting to hear. Really. A mo-cap movie seems much more promising than a more traditional live-action one. Wes Ball seems so passionate about this project too ; it's really reassuring, especially if it's as good as what the Mouse guard short film looks then I'll be content. On the subject of Mouse guard, I remember reading one comic of it like ten years ago and being really shocked by the quality. It was in the middle of an already advanced story but I remember vividly a young mouse finding an old mouse in a cabin at the beach. They both ended up fighting crabs (who are giants for their size) and the old one, who used a chain and hook as a weapon, was eaten by the crabs. It shook teen me, so seing a Mouse Guard movie would really interest me

@Mabbit_YL 6 месяцев назад

I hadn't even considered this, but I think (hope) that it will likely have some heavy elements of CG for environments, creatures, and some races, with the more humanesque races being live actors. While I had hopes that it would have production similar to LOTR, the more I think, I realize it would be hard to film real environments for things like Death Mountain or Zora's domain. You can't exactly just fly everyone out to New Zealand for that. I will say that it is a huge relief now knowing that Wes Ball seems to be a fan of the series that will give it the love and passion that it deserves.

@ellamiramontes9872 6 месяцев назад

This is an interesting angle to think about. Regardless I’ll stay hopeful. Nintendo and quality usually go together.

Knowing he tweeted that makes me feel much better about the chances of this project going well, just knowing that the director had aspirations to make a Zelda movie long before he had any chance to do so. It’s not like they’ve found someone who is like, “Ugh, I guess if it’ll pay the bills I’ll try my best to make a good movie despite having to use your silly video game characters.” They’ve found someone who knows Zelda and sees its potential.

I used to be on the "Link shouldn't have a voice" train. But after playing BotW and TotK... Link really needs a voice. I wouldn't be surprised if they use this movie as an excuse to try to find voice for him. If it's received well, it may even stick long term for the games as well.

I trust Wes Ball…as a long time spidey fan the name Avi Arads sends shivers down my spine lol. He has been attached to some great stuff but he is very well known for studio meddling and not having the best ideas. Interesting how Nintendo is financing 50/50 so they will have equal say over all on what gets to happen in the film. Going to be very interesting indeed, I imagine there are many concepts and test footage out there of what this movie could look like I’m sure what they saw with Sony and Wes had made them confident in going that route and announcing the movie this early.

Literally, to me, the idea of mo-cap and CGI is the way they will SAVE this movie. They can make the characters look so much more like the games and not have them look silly in costumes, especially when it comes to Link. That very well may be the reason they chose Wes to direct it.

I’m assuming it will be fully CG as that feels like the right way to blend link into our real reality because somebody looking like him would have to be quite young but at the same time that would be difficult to find somebody that age who looked like him, there is two likely outcomes to this movie either the legend of Chris Pratt, tears of the fans or the legend of movies, a breath of fresh air.

@a.jthomas6132 6 месяцев назад

My hope for this Legend of Zelda movie is Link x Zelda's relationship is well established as done in both Skyward Sword, Spirit Tracks and BOTW/TOTK. This beloved pair means alot to the Zelda fans as it does to me. And these iconic characters should be played by young actors since they’re teenagers. Their bond is much more than just your simple Knight and Princess dynamic. And it should not be professional like how Twilight Princess has done. Plus, they are the reincarnations of the Goddess Hylia and her first Chosen Hero.
