This is my theory/idea - read all, and then criticise:

Following the sucessful idea of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Bionicle (and other franchises turn CGI movie), Nintendo reveals a partnership with Disney, or one of it's sub-devisions (ie. Miramax).

They then release The Legend of Zelda, which is a new take on the legend. It's the same Zelda as all the past ones, but this time Zelda/Tetra finds it's her that has to do the quests, not a elf-boy called Link.

So this time the story follows Zelda. I think that Nintendo should make this a theatrical film. If all CGI, and with a really big budget ($60 million+), this film can look HUGE and can be very long, cis' CGI really doesn't have any boundaries on what you can do.

If they follow this idea, we can quite easily have a LOTR replacement. But for that to happen you'll need:

- Actors. Proper ones. Get Keira Knightley to play Zelda
- British accents. No obscure american "Whatever" types
- Big budget. Because it's CGI, with a $60 million budget, you can make SO much (using Korean resources like Bionicle and Final Fantasy do)
- A trilogy. 3 parts equal 3 times the money. And if each has a buget of say like $30 million, and were all CGI, you've got alot of possibilties to do in those films.

Well post your ideas. I personally think that the retelling of the story should be a movie thing, and stay away from the games.

I see you learned nothing from your batman lesson...

LoZ is based on a Japanese idea, why does it need English actors to succeed?!?

Besides that the whole idea SUCKS! How can you compare a CGI movie to LOTR? Why would Nintendo give the movie rights to disney who would obviously keep most of the profits? Why not have Sqare make it? Why follow Zelda?!? Link has always been the main character and no one would watch a movie about zelda.

You seem to have forgotten why the re-did Zelda as Tetra, haven't you?

And LoZ is a Japanese idea, but seeing how the characters are based on old British tales of Knights and Elves, i think they'll make it a English-languaged film, seeing how i don't think Disney can be arsed to dub it in, without it sucking.

Disney are incharge of alot of things. They also have one of the best and cheapest animation studios, so i think it's highly likely they use Disney for it, or one of their studios.

I think that they would watch a film about Zelda. I also think the gay-pixie idea is getting a little old. They should end it, or at least break from it (ie. with a film).

why would you want Disney to make a LoZ movie? that movie would probably be rated G or PG. and why is this in the VideoGame Forum?

no - PG13. And i said "one of their sub-companies" so it'll be Miramax
