They must have spent some cash on this. ---

So is anyone else hoping that the April Fool’s joke is getting us to believe that that’s an April Fool’s joke, and that the movie is real? ---

I…wow. I mean, if it’s fake, they did it really really well. I just can’t tell if it’s fake or not, and I’m hoping it isn’t, but at the same time, it being April 1st and all… Dammit, this could be one of the best April Fool’s ever if it’s fake. It looks really good. ---

Damn edit window. It’s fake, sorry to say: > **[Movie Reviews, Trailers, Interviews, Wikis & Posters for Movies - IGN](https://www.ign.com/movies)** > > IGN is the leading site for movies with expert reviews, trailers, interviews, news, wikis, cast pictures, release dates and movie posters > [@](#): > > To laud the highly anticipated release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Nintendo’s new Wii console, we thought we’d have a little fanboy fun and play studio boss… plotting our own movie version of the long-running fantasy videogame franchise. While there isn’t an actual film based on the game series in development, we think it’s high time that Hollywood and Nintendo got hip to the idea of a Legend of Zelda movie. Who knows? Maybe they’ll read our picks for writer, director, cast, etc., and get inspired. ---

Maybe the success of the trailer can clue in some studio executives. ---

Do you guys really want to see them screw it up, though? Leave the screwing up of adaptations where they belong. To the comic books. ---

… hmmmm … It kind of looked like one of those movies they make for Saturdays on the SciFi channel, to be honest. -FrL-
