I'd love to see a Metroid film based on the lands in Prime 1 and 2. That would be pretty sweet.
Any other ideas, thoughts?
If Nintendo gets this right they could be sitting on a gold mine! or we could just end up with another lame Mario movie!

It looks like Nintendo will probably make the films itself, not a third-party.
And Pixar over Dreamworks anyday.

I just read the news now, Pixar aren't making it, are they?
If they Pixar did have something to do with it, then, that would be great - they've never made a bad one upto date.
Or the people that make Shrek, that would be good too!

And I think you're right. Though I'm still confident that it would end up being a disappointment in some way.

Nintendo making movies would just suck
1. Because their games are good already
2. Once the movies were made, we'd have movie cash-in games to compensate
3. They put their creative work into gaming, not movie making

Three things:
Firstly, CGI. Easy.
Secondly: There was a Zelda cartoon, so Link has spoken before.
and finally, dungeons are not a problem- most of the time is spent exploring anyway, and they could implement a Navi-style character etc.

I don't think that a Zelda film could ever work. Casting Link would be almost impossible. It'd be hard finding somebody that looks like him and has a suitable voice, Link never speaks in the games but it wouldn't be possible for him to not speak throughout an entire film. I reckon they'd probably end up putting Orlando Bloom in as Link.
If they were to include the young link / adult link thing that would confuse the casting even more and no child or teenage actor that I can think of would do Link justice.
The main part of Zelda games are the dungeons and in the dungeons Link spends a lot of time by himself. It would be hard to create an effective film where there is one character by himself for long periods of the game. Either the dungeon trekking would have to be drastically cut down and Link would have to spend a lot more time in towns, or they'd have to turn Princess Zelda into a character willing to go off into dungeons or introduce a new character for Link to go with.
All-in-all it would be a very hard and risky thing to do.

I'd go with that. An epic thing like Lord of the Rings would be brilliant.
CG or live-action? And if live.. who to play Link?
Zelda would obviously be Kiera Knightley <3

Nothing will ever beat the Super Mario Bros film.
