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]
Great chat. Thanks to everyone for coming.

The river and 1.2 petabytes of disk space --> How the emotional Raka scene from @wesball's ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ was made by @WetaFXofficial . An excerpt from @beforesmag PRINT magazine.

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"
Well deserved guys! Happy for you all. Congrats to all the films this year. Some great work.

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 😆
For those who have Disney+ go to the “extras” section. :)
