You may recall that, a little over a week ago, rumors appeared that suggested that Nintendo and Illumination were finalizing a deal to create a movie based on The Legend of Zelda. Due to the significance of the rumor, it was inevitable that one of the companies were going to be asked about the matter.
Well, that has happened. TheWrap recently spoke to Illumination CEO and founder Chris Meledandri about the rumors. According to Meledandri, he doesn’t know where the rumors came from, but he can “understand how people would surmise all sorts of things because obviously, we’ve had a great experience working together. My relationship with Nintendo now includes being on their board of directors, so I understand how people can surmise these things. But in terms of the specifics, that was just something that I’ve been hearing lots of reports. This is just about what’s next between Nintendo and Illumination”.
