Above is an official Legend of Zelda movie trailer made by ign. Is it a joke? Do people really want this movie. Or if it is a fake are people happy it is. Here is what ign said rather admitted a while after the trailer was premiered.
April 1, 2008 – [EDITOR'S NOTE: April 2, 2008 - 12:01 a.m. PST. Yup, you guessed it. The Legend of Zelda trailer featured here is part of an elaborate April Fool's Day prank. What follows is our original story announcing the trailer to the (in some cases) unsuspecting public.
Few videogame properties hold the cachet of The Legend of Zelda. As a film project, it's on the scale of Lord of the Rings. But no one has tackled a live-action adaptation of the storied franchise… until today. Production Company Rainfall Films has asked IGN to premiere the very first footage from their live-action Zelda film — a very literal adaptation of the magical epic — and, of course, we said, "Yes!"
Much like the indie gem Cloverfield, this project has been shrouded in secrecy and details kept close to the vest. What we do know is that the film is being written and directed by newcomer Sam Balcomb. Going the route of Star Wars: Episode IV, this production decided to cast all unknowns in the iconic roles. Link is played by JR Killigrew, Camille C. Brown portrays a very Elven Princess Zelda, and Gregory Lee Kenyon stars as Ganondorf. You may, however, recognize Camden Toy (see TV's Buffy and Angel) in the supporting role as Sahasrahla.
When I find more info on this subject i'll tune you in till then enjoy this pic.
MY OPINION: Personally I love the backgrounds and the effects. I the scenery is excelent. Now the actors. I think thier could have been a better actor for Link and maybe Zelda. But I think they made a good choice for Ganondorf. Now, the costumes.Don’t get me started on Zelda’s. It looked as if you could purchace it in a Halloween costume store. And her braids come on they could’ve done a better job on them. I don’t even think the braids are real hair. Link’s costume was decent. Better than Zelda’s for sure. Now, Ganondorf. They actually did something right. I love Ganondorf’s costume. It’s so real. Now, just for a Legend of Zelda move. I like the idea. I like that it’s real people. If it was animated I think it would still look too much like a video game. So I could live with the things I didn’t like and I wish this was a real movie.
NOW WE KNOW: Well April is over, and the premire date for the Legend of Zelda Movie has passed. Which means that its deffinetly not coming out. Oh well. Well, it kinda was obvious because the date was April 1st (April Fool’s Day) which led to believe it was a pratical joke from ign.
