Legend of Zelda movie

yeah the residental evil movie wasnt bad at al but does any one think they can pull it off

whaT i meant to say is that not all video game movies were flops

ok heres what ive come up with.

link - matt damon
now i know what your thinking, it would be stupid with him in it but think how good it could tun out if he does it in GOOD serious typ mood. and i think matt damon with a little longer blonde hair looks like and the correct suit would look kewl.

zelda - reese witherspoon
same thing as before but i think she can play a serious role, but we never really sen her in one. i think the legally blonde movies destroy a serious loook from her. but with her with long straghit hair i think she looks like zelda.

ganandorf - arnold vasloo weve discussed him

hope it hlps

I see what your sayin about Damon, and it sounds like a good idea. Can't imagine Reese Witherspoon playin a serious role, though. I'd still say Keira Knightley for Zelda...

It would be cool if they made a Zelda movie no matter what the cast is. Just as long as they do it right. Recent movies based on video games have sucked. If you see the House of the Dead you will know what I mean.

Never played Zelda, but RW has played in a serious movie. Fear with Mark Whalberg. Just thought I'd point that out incase you guys might wanna check it out.

There will be a Zelda film. Not directed by Peter Jackson, but in the style of the LOTR films. It will be co-written and directed by a glass mantis productions and it will take most likely six or seven years from now for this film to be released. There is some difficulty acquiring the rights to the story, which is why it will take so long. The actors cast in the roles will likely be unknowns, except for Ganondorf, as it was felt he should be played by a well-known and respected actor. Zelda and Link will be played by actors who are approximately eighteen years old, and the story will be LOOSELY based on the Ocarina of Time story, but much less complex, and with added occurences.

Got a source for all that info? My interest has been peaked.

What?!?

Most of them were well known and a few weren't.

Well, I'd say a few were recognizable, but seldom to a casual movie fan. Most people probably could have said, "Yeah, he/she was in that one movie...", about almost every actor/actress in the films, but couldn't have picked out a name.

Elijah Wood and Sean Astin were probably "familiar" to most, and Hugo Weaving was probably associated with "The Matrix" pretty quickly. Viggo Mortenson was probably a stretch for most people, since he's picky about roles. Bernard Hill and Brad Dourif might have been known to some, but most people would have no idea. Everyone who watches TV probably knows who Liv Tyler is, or who her daddy is. And Indy fans know who John Rhys-Davies is, but few know past that. I'd say Ian McKellen was probably pretty recognizable, thanks to the fact that X-Men catered pretty successfully to both comic book fans and casual film-goers alike. And Christopher Lee was probably known by older film fans, Bond fans, and everyone who saw Episode II. Past that, I doubt anyone knew who Orlando Bloom, Dom Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Miranda Otto, Karl Urban, John Noble, David Wendham, or Sean Bean was.

Did you just prove my point? I think you did.

Viggo has been around... Young guns 2, Carlito's Way, The Prophesy, ... as the master chief in GI Jane (unforgettable that one)... 28 Days, A Perfect Murder. Not a stretch at all IMHO.

By the way... you forgot Christopher Lee

edit** No you didn't, I forgot to read...

edit*** Please tell me you're giving credit where due to Sir Ian for having a pre X-Men career?

Don't forget, Tolkien has fans as old as my dad, and I'm old enough to have fathered most people here at this site.

Me and Aniko and Nebbit can have an old fogey 3some...

Yeah, I guess I did...

Don't forget Crimson Tide. I was just stating that, based on these past roles, he'd be recognizable to most people, but I doubt they'd know his name or could even come up with three movies he has been in.

Believe me, I'm well aware of McKellen's career prior to his step into "geek cinema". Gods and Monsters, Apt Pupil, Richard III, Six Degrees of Separation, and even Last Action Hero (which not many people remember he was in) come to mind.

Quite right. I'm still fairly new to the whole Lord of the Rings story, but thankfully, I read the books before seeing the films.

I think that ganon should be played by vin diesal (sp) (if they did it live aktion)

I think Christina Applegate would make a good Zelda. I also think the whole idea of making a movie from legend of zelda game is great. this game is the best game of all time.

Also Charlize Theron would be play Zelda.

Matt Damon as Link = not a good idea just my opinion. The person playing Link should be kinda slim and not archetypal action hero. I think new actors for both would be a good idea.

i agree she is a good actress but not zela atral. a zelda should be more quiet and less brash, such as keira knightley (bend it like beckham, pirates of the caribean)or that one from resident evil mill jovich.

The zelda cast should include

Link-Dean Correll (rising young actor on broadway)
Zelda - Hilary Duff
Gandorf - Colin Farrel
