Legend of Zelda movie trailer, Super Smash Bros. movie casting
IGN went all out and then some for April Fools, making a trailer for the non-existent "Legend of Zelda" movie that looks like it could be a real trailer for a tentpole film. It's paced like one, has similar graphics, and the same kind of shots, music, voiceover, etc. Sure, the effects aren't quite up to par, the makeup on Ganon isn't great, and the guy playing Link is kinda ugly, but it's still really impressive. I particularly love how they integrated so many details from the game, like spin attacks and a quiet moment with the horse.
Also amusing on this April Fool's Day, blog The Minus World has "cast" a "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" movie. James Gandolfini as Mario, Ryan Seacrest as the Pokemon trainer, Artie Lang as Wario. Particularly inspired (and yes, these are kind of mean): Rosie O'Donnell as Bowser, Larry Wachowski as Zelda/Sheik, and my favorite, Richard Simmons as Diddy Kong. Take a look.

You guys suck!! I would actually would like to see them make a Legend of Zelda movie. I think they could have picked a cuter guy for the part of Link,but that's just my opinion
