<p>You'll have to wait a little longer for <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/nintendo-is-making-a-live-action-legend-of-zelda-movie-221618064.html">The Legend of Zelda movie[/url]. Nintendo said on Monday that the film's new release date is May 7, 2027.

The company attributed the rescheduling to production delays.</p>
<p>"This is Miyamoto," Nintendo's announcement <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:3;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://x.com/Nintendo/status/1932075231885382103">post[/url] began. "For production reasons, we are changing the release date of the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027. It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be. Thank you for your patience."</p>

<p>We don't know much about the movie yet. Its director (Wes Ball) and screenwriter (T.S. Nowlin) are both known for The Maze Runner trilogy. Ball also worked on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the fourth installment in the modern reboots.</p>
<p>In 2023, Ball <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:4;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://ew.com/the-legend-of-zelda-wes-ball-live-action-miyazaki-8410558">suggested[/url] that the film could have an anime influence. He described it as "this awesome fantasy-adventure movie that isn’t like Lord of the Rings, it’s its own thing. I've always said, I would love to see a live-action Miyazaki. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I would love to see something like that."</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/nintendo-delays-the-legend-of-zelda-movie-155753324.html?src=rss
