We just need the perfect actor to play him...if it was real, not animated. 😬 Got to have the voice too, can't have an American accent, not that I'm being horrible or anything but it wouldn't suit him. American actor is fine but they have that low talking kind of accent. 😕 Maybe an Australian or English, I can actually see that!
If you have the wrong actors/actress' then yes it may be an insult, just depends who it is.

Yeah, I agree with your comment on the importance of casting.
But I don't necessarily see the problem with an American actor; I don't like the idea of an Australian accent (too... earthy?), and a British one would be too reminiscient of a Harry Potter movie (or an awful Hugh Grant film).
My brother tossed Toby McGuire at me (sp?), but I don't know - possibly. As for Elisiah Wood, as some have suggested - I'm still freaking out over his role in Sin City, so no dice.
Still, if Nintendo would be taking care of the work, I'd trust them to do a good job of deciding which is best.
Re: my idea for a zelda movie
Originally posted by joker817
alright check it out! ive been thinkin about a zelda movie since i played lttp. and i was a little kid back then. ive had a few years to think about it. now, ive been workin a story line for a couple years now. and it wasnt till tonight that i found all the info to complete it. its not perfect yet but here it goes. u guys are right it has to be PERFECT, no f ups. and after thinkin about it, it also has to be at least 2-3 movies like lord of the rings. and my idea is that in the 1st one he's just starting out, hes not really sure of himself, and hes just starting to realize his potential. in the 2nd one hes developing his skills and becoming a better warrior. then in the 3rd one he a BAD ASS, plain and simple. he's become the hero, he knows it, he knows what his duty is and hes goin for it balls to the wall. that is just a basic outline of character development within the movies. as far as the story goes. i think it needs to be somewhere along the lines of lttp but with a few other elements from the other games in it. mainly because i think lttp is the best bet when it comes to movies and how a story should pan out. in the 1st one it needs to start out with a little bit of a prequel thing goin on during the credits where both his parents die because ganondorf is waging war on hyrule. his father dies in battle and his mother dies after childbirth, because ganondorf knows that link is being born and he is the only one who can destroy him. but link is saved by whom i dont know, still havent worked it out yet. probably his uncle, hence y he lives with his uncle. anyways, ganondorf is not destroyed but is locked away in the dark world because of the 7 sages or whatever number hollywood comes up with. now this is all during the opening credits so there is no real detail. also what needs to be touched on is how hyrule was made as well as the triforce and the master sword. i sure u guys already know so i dont need to tell it. well anyways, many years pass and link is now a young man, between 17 and 20. reason, this needs to be realistic, no boy is going to battle the forces of evil and win if hes just a little boy. so go along the lines of lttp where he goes to castle rescues zelda takes her to the sanctuary. its at this point u learn whats really going on. that ganondorf is trying to come through again and take control of hyrule. u also learn about links past and how he is apart of a special bloodline and that the ones that have come before have defeated ganondorf, so he really is the hero, but link has doubt he doesnt what this responsibility he just wants to be normal and live a normal life.well he goes out to earn his right to carry the master sword, whether it be through getting the pendants or whatever. this is where he starts to pick up a few special items to help him along the way and he starts to develop his advanced fighting skills, because his uncle did teach him how to fight but he wasnt that skilled himself so link has to learn on his own. basically when he starts off he barely defeats his enemies but towards the end of this movie hes starting to dominate the battlefield. now once he gets the master sword. thats when zelda is kidnapped. link runs to save her again but just like in lttp hes to late. he gets thrown in the dark world. this is where the 1st one ends. in the 2nd one hes trying to find zelda but through his journey he rescues the desendants of the old sages who locked ganondorf into the dark world, because they were used to open up the gateway. this part is a little ruff because basically hes going from dungeon to dungeon getting clues and cool items like power braclets to make him stronger and better body armor which he will need in the last fight. and hes developing his abilities even more. one last thing he is battling is himself, because in the dark world u can be transformed into a beast depending on how negative ur thoughts are. links beast is a wolf, which comes into handy in the 3rd instalment. in the 3rd movie, hes already rescued the maidens hes got all the cool stuff and like i said before hes a bad ass mofo. this is the way the movie starts, big fight scene where hes kickin evil dudes ass all over the place, hes shooting arrows hes throwing boomerangs hes cutting monsters down the whole 9 yards. but heres the thing the light world and the dark world have become one world basically, not entirely, but its on its way to hell in a handbasket, thats basically what link is doing is saving the good people from the bad people in parts of this movie as well as trying to figure out where is ganondorf hiding. wheres his lair at. in these movies u also find out the mythology of the triforce, because 3 bloodlines carry different keys to different pieces of the triforce, ganondorf embodies the piece of power, zelda has the spirit of wisdom, and link has the blood of courage. now if u are familiar with zelda mythology u realize that this is true, it hasnt been milked for all its worth in most of the games but its there. so in this u have a ritualistic ceromony. u need links blood, zeldas spirit, combined with ganondorfs body. and that is how ganondorf plans on getting his hands on the triforce and turning hyrule into the land of complete darkness. so link finds out where ganondorf has been hiding this entire time, he goes after him and falls for the trap, because thats what it was a trap, ganondorf knew he couldnt just capture link, he had to wait for link to come to him. so the ritual is set up and everything is going nicely, basically link dies because they take his blood. well throughout the movies theres been this fairy that link befriended. well eventually it has to give up its life to rejuvenate link back to life. link wakes up as zelda is dying because ganondorf has taken her soul. now this is where link goes apeshit. and the whole wolf thing starts coming out. but zelda telepathically reminds him that evil only begets evil, or something like that. so he keeps in check, but dont think for a second he doesnt put the animalistic strengths to good use for a bit. he wrecks havoc on ganondorfs personal security force, if u wanna call it that. then gets to ganondorf. now just like in lttp, he has the arrows of light or whatever it was called. and they battle it out in this huge,HUGE fight scene between swords and arrows and anything else they can get there hands on. (i have the whole end of the movie in my head, i really cant tell u guys what it is because it would take a whole day to write) but u get the idea. he kills ganondorf, makes a good wish and everything is back to normal. but in the end link is alone, because he knows someday evil will come back again. and he has to be ready. The End. so u guys let me know what u think and if u like it, ill then let u guys know who should play certain key roles.
I cant be assed reading that untill you learn how to write you fool

legend of zelda movie stuff:

hey guys! sorry ive been off for a bit, so im now just seein ur reply's. im glad most of u guys like my idea. although, im not a big fan of the idea of a zelda movie being cgi. why? well, for one. cgi movies arent that successful. maybe if ur making it into a kid movie. but not an adult cgi film. atleast not in hollywood. i know cgi gives the movie more potential for visual effects. but the movie wont be taken seriously by the mass demographic. in other words... only fans will go see the movie, and then most of them will probably have negative thoughts about it. as a live action movie people that havent even played the game will be open to go see it. not to mention people dont relate to computer characters. and thats what sells a movie, people being able to relate to the characters. another thing, orlando bloom as link, definitely a bad idea, i agree. and the reason i picked lttp as the game to use for the storyline is because its the most popular. ive done a lot of research, and what it has shown is that lttp is one of the best storylines of the whole series and the most popular game. also, i didnt use only that game. i brought the whole mythology of all the games into this idea. soon it will be a script. im writing now. ive already finished the first part of the three movies. i want this to be an epic movie, kinda like lord of the rings. i want everyone to enjoy it, to like it. not just the fans of the games. i want people that havent played the games to say "wow, that was a great movie. i want to go play the games."
Hey stop posting no stop. This isn't a chat room, people aren't going to just come along & reply. It depends on when people visit which boards (threads.) It could be on the same day or a couple of days until you get a reply.
Although I would like an animated film & not a film which includes actors, just voice acting is better.
I'm a Video Production and Creative Writing Major at SOU and currently writing a script for a CGI film titled: The Legend of Zelda. The complete synopsis is finished (29 pages in length). I have begun writing the script and I have a deadline for it to completed with my editor/agent April 4th, at which time I will be officially announcing it and posting the script online and begin sending it to production companies (both US and Japanese) as well as Nintendo... I'll be posting the website for it here upon completion. Thank you.
I don't know, I mean it's not a wrong thing that anyone, even celebrities, can join up normal sites but a lot of people just try to be funny & pretend they're all y'know, "I'm Brad Pitt!" or something like that, they try & convince people but it never works.
I don't know about this guy either, probably just pulling our leg, & since we, or at least I don't believe in all that balony about "I'm a celebrity blah blah blah!" (no one really does) then people don't take notice & just let it go over their heads.
I think he's lying, prove me wrong Palmer Nicklas & I'll listen but you can't just post that & expect us to believe you. 😬 Whoa long post, just about this guy too!
