澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A live-action Legend of Zꦅelda movie i🐻s on the way from ꦛdirector Wes Ball – and, thanks to his scrap𓆉ped Mouse Guard movie, we might have an idea what it could look like. 

As first pointed out by , the previz work for Mouse Guard could be a clue to Ball's vision for Zelda. After the film was scrapped, Ball released around nine minutes of test footage online. The footage showcases beautiful, nature-heavy scenes – though with the caveat that the previz is intended as a demonstration of how the film would "feel," not how itꦺ would look exactly, as Ball prefaces the video. Check it out below. 

Mouse Guard ended up a casualty of Disney's merger with 20th ෴Century Fox back in 2019. It's a shame we'll never get to see it when that previz s🌼izzle reel looks so special, but at least we'll be getting Ball's take on Zelda, Link and co. 

Although, one thing to consider is that the Zelda movie w🌼ill be live-action, while Mouse Guard was going to be motion capture. Still, that doesn't mean the Zelda movie can't look as magical as Mouse Guard. 

"I have been working on the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda for many years now with Avi Arad-san, who has produced many mega hit films," Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto wrote of the Zelda film on . "I have asked Avi-san to produce this film with me, and we have now officially started the development of the film with Nintendo itself heavily involved in t♊he production. It will take time until its completion, but I hope you look forward to seeing it."
