Wes Ball and Joe HartwickGetty Images Wes Ball and Joe Hartwick recently signed a three-year, first-look deal with Sony Pictures where they are respectively attached to direct and produce the live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda based on the uber-hit 150M copy selling video game franchise, for Sony and Nintendo. The game follows the elf-like warrior Link and elegant Princess Zelda as they fight to save the magical land of Hyrule from Ganon, an evil warlord-turned-demon king. Ball most recently directed, with Hartwick producing, 20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, one of the key pics last summer to resuscitate the box office after a sleepy frame due to the strikes; that installment opening to $58.4M stateside and grossing over $171M domestic, and close to $380M worldwide.
