I'll be honest, I didn't really think the live action Legend of Zelda movie would ever release when it was first announced in 2023. I become more convinced I was wrong with each passing day, as not only have they started casting folks for the rumored trilogy, but streaming giant Netflix has successfully negotiated for the movie's streaming rights.
That was announced in a press release Thursday and reflects a continued partnership between Netflix and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the latter of which will distribute the film. It's part of a "landmark global Pay-1 licensing deal"—the Pay-1 window being the bit of a movie's rollout right after its theatrical run and home video release—which the release calls an "industry first."
