Rather discreet since the announcement Of the live-action film The Legend of Zelda and the tidal wave caused by it on the Internet, Wes Ball, the director of the film, took advantage of a question-and-answer event on Reddit to talk a little more about the project.
Question: How is The Legend of Zelda movie doing?
Wes Ball: I know I’m going to be asked a ton of questions about Zelda. Sorry to disappoint you, but I can’t say anything right now… I can only say that I love Zelda and will go out of my way to do something good for us.
Question: What lessons are learned from Planet of the Apes: The New Kingdom [Ndlr: Le prochain film du réalisateur à sortir] are you going to remember for Zelda?
Wes Ball: Keep the money visible on screen. Be ambitious. Have confidence in the talent around you. Try to do something big.
Question: Has your work on Planet of the Apes: The New Kingdom given you any experience or inspiration that you think will be useful for the next Zelda film?
Wes Ball: Of course. We learn things from every film we make. I learned tons about this film.
Question: If the film does well, are there plans to extend the series?
Wes Ball: Yes. We would like to continue the story and the characters.
Question: Will John Cena play Navi in the Zelda movie?
Wes Ball: You never know.
We thus learn, and unsurprisingly, that a series of films The Legend of Zelda could be on the agenda, that the film will be “ambitious” and that Wes Ball is trying to do something big for us. Little information within this marketing jargon, but if we could assume that sequels were already in discussion, we now have confirmation. Plus, it’s always good to know that the project is doing well and that Wes Ball should get on board soon.
