Nintendo, fresh off its success with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, is making another play for the silver screen. On Wednesday, the video game company rolled out Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed designer of the Mario series, to announce a new film based on another of his creations: The Legend of Zelda.
The company is working with Sony Pictures Entertainment to make the film, which will be co-produced by Miyamoto and Avi Arad, founder of Marvel Studios and a producer for Sony's "Spider-Man" movies. "We have now officially started the development with Nintendo itself heavily involved in the production," Miyamoto wrote in a statement on X.
