Nota: Toda la información de esta entrada es un simple rumor hasta que Nintendo diga lo contrario.
Según Jeff Sneider, un Insider de Hollywood, Universal se encuentra cerrando un trato con Nintendo para hacer una película de The Legend of Zelda. Por lo que comenta Jeff, este sería el siguiente GRAN proyecto de Illumination junto con NIntendo:
“We’re just gonna put it out there. Again, not a big shocker, but from what I’m told – getting close to official – I’m told Universal is in fact closing a ‘big deal’ … for The Legend of Zelda. It’s looking like the next big Illumination Nintendo franchise, which again I think we were all sort of expecting, but I’m told that is happening and it’s going to cost – it’s costing Universal a pretty penny because of the success of Super Mario. Nintendo kind of knows its worth at this point.”
Como siempre en todo rumor: toca esperar…
Actualización (15 de junio, 2023): El jefe de Illumination: Chris Meledandri se ha proclamado sobre el reciente rumor de una colaboración con Nintendo para hacer una película de The Legend of Zelda, mencionando que no sabe absolutamente nada de esto y que no sabe de donde salieron los rumores…
“I don’t know where that came from. I mean I can understand how people would surmise all sorts of things because obviously, we’ve had a great experience working together. My relationship with Nintendo now includes being on their board of directors, so I understand how people can surmise these things. But in terms of the specifics, that was just something that I’ve been hearing lots of rumors. This is just about what’s next between Nintendo and Illumination.”
