Title: The Legend of Zelda... the movie???
Post by: Roman on April 01, 2008, 03:54:59 pm
All right!  Today is no ordinary day!!

"Puh!  Why not?"  You ask.  "Is it because it's--"

Right there I cut you off together with say, "Yes!!  It's the day that the Legend of Zelda movie has been officially announced (by www.ign.com) together with the first trailer has been released!!"

IGN.com: http://movies.ign.com/dor/articles/863515/legend-of-zelda-movie-trailer/videos/legendofzelda_filmtrailer_040108.html

Let me just say:  W... wow.  I am so pumped guys.  Guys I am so pumped.  Nothing could ruin this moment.  Absolutely nothing.

For today I have discovered true love. 

Only Zelda could make me feel this.

Or Malon, maybe.

Love. 

Sweet, sweet love.

Uwe Boll wrote and directed it. That's why Link is already middleaged when Zelda puts him in the Temple of Time. It premieres this Sunday on the Sci-Fi channel.

Uh I thought it was a pretty obvious April Fool's joke (forget bypassing the filter, I don't feel like it) considering it also lists the release date as April 1st, 2009 and the credits show the film is supposedly being made by IGN (who suddenly are in the filmmaking business out of nowhere)

This is either fake or made by a really low-budget company (Uwe Boll, perhaps?).  If it is fake, I have to applaud IGN for putting that much effort into making the trailer.

If you look closely at the credits, IGN is listed in there along with some production company I didn't recognize.

EDIT:
I just came across this:

http://www.rainfallfilms.com/

Looks like the movie might be real, but it is being made on an "economical" budget, whatever that means.

Haha, joke or not... this trailer made me realize that the Legend of Zelda franchise will never work as a film.

Ganondorf's beard was so cool.

Post by: CorporateGreed on April 02, 2008, 04:32:34 pm

Xanqui, I think the site is merely an extension of the April Fools joke.

But it must be the best joke I've ever seen. I loved the monsters, they actually put a lot of
thought and time in this. Not only that, the man who takes link to the city seemed vaguely
familiar. He's actually an actor.

Yeah. This was win.

It's just so awesome how it's like this conglomeration of everything that makes Lord of the Rings so crappy

I mean even if you liked Lord of the Rings it's like if the movie were stripped down to only the dorkisms - like some sort of alternate reality where Peter Jackson never got big and made fan movies in his backyard + blue tarp and entourage of most likely virginal friends

hey did anybody notice how clever my post was

edit: actually maybe it's not as clever if you have a different screen resolution but i think it should still work (huh what the fuck is he talking about)

edit edit: wait no nevermind regardless of screen resolution it works

But I guess nobody read it, they just clicked the link or something..

I thought there was something odd about the way you wrote that, but now I see what it was.  Nice one.

I really have to commend IGN for a job well done. This far exceeds anything I would have expected to see on April Fools.

What I enjoy is going to YouTube and seeing how many people believes this is real.

Post by: maia on April 03, 2008, 03:48:03 pm
I saw the preview, and I wasn't impressed, it looks really dumb. Some of the visuals with the enemies looked great, but otherwise... *sigh* looks more like the old cartoon plotline.

Guess I was taken by April Fools.

It could work, but the script quality would have to be insane for it to work well, and some one like Peter Jackson would have have to direct ( i think he does a fantastic job on things he does).
Because i didn't notice the post date i actually thought it was real, but then i noticed a few things and realized this was a highly elaborate prank.
A good one, and I'm slightly miffed it isn't real. Still i am impressed with what they did (cept Gannondorf didn't look right) and i still hope (even to this day) that a real LOZ film will be made.

a real legend of zelda movie would be awful are you serious

I'm actually sad that this isn't real, yea it would have been real awful and all that but it looks pretty fun ha ha. I wonder if IGN tried to make serious Zelda movie or if it was something that Uwe Boll would have created. In any case it's really a great prank. It would have been so easy to create some boring 10 second teaser showing some shadows and such, but they actually went through all this trouble!

This is about as close as you'll get to a real Zelda movie.  Fortunately it looks like they stopped working on it.

Because a Legend of Zelda movie would be terrible.

I already said that.

Get John Woo to do it. Then get Tom Cruise as Link. Then no body go to it. That's the best plan.

Post by: AdderallApocalypse on April 13, 2008, 03:57:16 pm
It's too bad that Michael Jackson is playing link.

Also, Ganondorf looks like a large version of The Leprachaun.

Otherwise, it looks cool, and I just hope that it isn't a joke. Though, it looks like it is.  :fogetsad:
Title: The Legend of Zelda... the movie???
Post by: pburn on April 13, 2008, 04:06:57 pm
Personally I'd have to go for a John Woo directed Zelda movie, with Christian Bale as Link, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Zelda, Jean Reno as Ganondorf. Michael Jackson as Tingle would be good too.

by the way has anybody else noticed how racist the 3D zelda games are, or at least Ocarina of Time?  this is a topic that i figured i would see at some point but nobody has ever brought it up.  WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK and see if you can figure out what the hell im talking about
Title: The Legend of Zelda... the movie???
Post by: Strangeluv on April 14, 2008, 04:21:31 am
No I don't know what you're talking about except that there are no black characters or something??
Title: The Legend of Zelda... the movie???
Post by: Roman on April 14, 2008, 04:32:33 am
The only black man in sight also happens to be THE MOST EVIL PERSON IN THE WORLD.  Also he's a thief seriously.

Of course in Ocarina of Time you have the Gerudos who live in the desert and are also thieves.

what is that shit about huh
Title: The Legend of Zelda... the movie???
Post by: Strangeluv on April 14, 2008, 05:56:36 am
Hm, well, Ganondorf was more green than black, wasn't he! Also DARK LINK was black but that's because he's DARK.

The Gerudos were thieves in the desert... Ganondorf also came from the desert, by the way. But uh..... *trying to remember if there were any other thieves in the game*
