Where Indie Filmmakers Fill the Void
When it comes to video games, Hollywood has it all wrong.
But with the recent release of indie film The Legend of Zelda: Hero of Time, it seems gamers can finally watch a faithful adaptation of a great game. It’s not a big budget production, but the film crew nailed it better than the hot shots at large movie companies.
Sure, they don’t have the best special effects or big-name actors, but where the rest of the movie industry has failed, indie filmmakers can create movies actually deserving of their video game-based content.
Whenever a piece of literature is made into a film, some collateral damage is to be expected. Films like Lord of the Rings have proven that too us, and while they usually keep the general plot intact and maybe include some fan service, they almost always fall short of their source material. So obviously the stakes were pretty high for Watchmen seeing as it’s based on what is rightfully considered the greatest graphic novel of all time. And I have to say, Zack Snyder and his crew nailed it.
