This is Miyamoto. Did you have a chance to check out the short video we posted on Nintendo Today! a few hours ago? We announced that the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, which I am producing with Avi Arad-san, will be released in theaters worldwide on March 26, 2027.[1/2]

still amazed the movie companies made "tvs are square but only in theaters can you see rectangle" a slam dunk marketing strategy and then a half century later somehow managed to pull off "tvs are rectangle but only in theaters can you see square"

Fucking thank and bless you for putting me onto this. I thought it was only on the physical 4K that wasn’t released in Australia. I definitely now have a plan for my weekend 😆

The latest #VFX breakdown for #KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes is here 🐵 The #WētāFX crew crafted the river and sweeping rapids, detailing wet fur, aeration and silt volumes above and beneath the river’s surface. This sequence alone required 1.2 petabytes of disk space! #BTS
