Nintendo to develop ‘Zelda’ movie in latest entertainment push
Nintendo said on Wednesday it will develop a live-action film of long running franchise “The Legend of Zelda” in the Kyoto-based firm’s latest push beyond its core gaming business.
Nintendo scored a runaway success with its animated “Super Mario Bros” movie this year, which has underscored the box-office appeal of video game adaptations and helped drive demand for its aging Switch console.
The film will be produced by “Super Mario” creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad, the veteran producer of movies such as “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”.
