You may recall that a little over a week ago there were rumors suggesting that Nintendo and Illumination were finalizing a deal to create a movie based on The Legend of Zelda. Due to the importance of the rumor, it was inevitable that one of the companies would be asked about it.
Well, that happened. TheWrap recently spoke with 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 suspect all kinds of things because obviously we had a great experience working together. I relationship with Nintendo now includes being on their board of directors, so I understand how people might assume such things. But as far as specifics go, that’s something I’ve heard a lot of reports about. This is exactly what’s next between Nintendo and Illumination”.
