It’s just time to stop when it comes to Hellboy. Adam Holmes from Cinema Blend and many others agree since the reboot that recently came out was supposed to revive and refresh the iconic superhero but in truth all it did was sink into the mire a little more. The 11 years between the reboot and the Ron Perlman version probably didn’t help matters any, but while bringing David Harbour into this and making his look just a little grittier than Perlman’s was supposed to make it edgier and even more raw, it seriously underwhelmed at the box office.

Will a "Legend of Zelda" movie ever make it to the big screen? Studios have been trying to get Nintendo to turn one of their most beloved franchises into a film adventure for years, but to no avail. Considering the poor rate of success video game adaptations have had in theaters, that's no surprise, but that doesn't stop us from wondering what could be.
Enter Imagi, the studio behind animated films "Astro Boy" and "Tmnt." In 2007, Imagi pitched Nintendo on an animated retelling of "The Legend of Zelda" that Nintendo ultimately turned down. But thanks to former Imagi Dp and layout supervisor Adam Holmes, fans finally get to see the pitch (above) now.
Even though "Zelda" hasn't been made into a film, it did get turned into an animated series than ran for 13 episodes in 1989. That show didn't go over well, and is best known for Link's incredibly overused catchphrase,...

At one point there was a possibility that this Zelda teaser (from Imagi Studios, of Tmnt fame) could have been a full length film, but alas, it was not meant to be. That doesn't mean that it isn't damn cool to look at, though. Watching the teaser does elicit some sadness, as what is here is pretty well done, and it's a shame we won't get to see the full project come to fruition. Take a look at the trailer below to see what I'm talking about, and if you want a look at the pre-vis comparison, you can head to Adam Holmes' page here.

Ever wonder what an animated film based on the popular "The Legend of Zelda" Nintendo video game series would look like?
At one point Imagi Studios ("Tmnt," "Astro Boy") assembled a pitch reel for such a project, a reel that Nintendo passed on. Now, former Imagi Dp and layout supervisor Adam Holmes has posted a copy online which you can check out below:

For many years, fans have been waiting for Hollywood to bring The Legend of Zelda video game series from Nintendo to the big screen, but it just hasn't happened. Even after interest surged following an impressive but fake live-action trailer that IGN posted on April Fool's Day, a film version of the popular fantasy game hasn't come to fruition. However, that doesn't mean there haven't been attempts to make it happen. In fact, Imagi Studios, the animation company behind the films Astro Boy and most recent Tmnt, crafted a pitch reel for an animated movie adaptation in 2007, and now that video is online. Watch! Here's Imagi Studios pitch reel for a Legend of Zelda movie found on Kotaku (via SlashFilm): Former Imagi Dp and layout supervisor Adam Holmes posted the video online, and as of now, it's about as close as fans will get to a real Zelda movie.

As a general rule, movies based on video games are usually abysmal. And no one knows this better than Nintendo, thanks to how the live action "Super Mario Bros." flick turned out. Which is why the chances of them okaying another big screen adaptation of one of their cherished franchised is pretty much nil.
The theatrical Pokemon animated moves don't count since they're based upon the popular television cartoon and are largely by the same parties.
But that didn't stop Imagi Animation Studios from pitching the idea of a full length, CGI motion picture of the "The Legend of Zelda." They're the same studio responsible for both the CGI Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Astro Boy CGI movies. Both of which did not fare very well at the box office, it should be noted.
