Total Film has managed to get the chance to catch up with The Legend of Zelda movie director Wes Ball who briefly chatted about the upcoming project. He seems to be thrilled to be given the opportunity to work on the franchise and says that his mission is to “fulfil people’s greatest desires” and that he wants to give people who watch it a chance to “escape.” Here’s what was said by Mr. Ball:
“I have this awesome idea. I’ve been thinking about it for a long freakin’ time, of how cool a Zelda movie would be… I want to fulfil people’s greatest desires. I know it’s important, this [Zelda] franchise, to people and I want it to be a serious movie. A real movie that can give people an escape.”
Ball even points to that escapism (“I want to live in that world,” he says) as the driving force behind The Legend of Zelda movie.
“That’s the thing I want to try to create – it’s got to feel like something real. Something serious and cool, but fun and whimsical.”
