"The Legend of Zelda" Live-Action Movie Release Date Delayed
Yara Sameh
'The Legend of Zelda' live action movie has been delayed from March to May 7, 2027, Sony and Nintendo announced.
The new date was freed up when 'Avengers: Secret Wars' moved to December 17, 2027.
Originally slated for March 26, 2027, 'Zelda' series creator Shigeru Miyamoto said in a statement it would shift several weeks later 'for production reasons.'
'This is Miyamoto. For production reasons, we are changing the release date of the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027. It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be. Thank you for your patience,' said Nintendo's statement.
Wes Ball directs the live-action version of Nintendo's 'The Legend of Zelda' game, with Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad producing. Casting and story have not yet been announced.
After Nintendo had a massive hit with Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie,' plans for the 'Zelda' film gained momentum.
Over 15 years ago, Ball was already thinking of someday directing an adaptation of the wildly popular game.
'Since I could never even hope to have the chance to direct it…the next big mo-cap 'Avatar'-like movie should be…THE LEGEND OF ZELDA,' Ball posted in 2010.
Over a decade later, he came on to helm the Hyrule-set video game adaptation.
Ball reposted a gif of 'Back to the Future' on his X/Twitter profile when his old tweet surfaced.

"The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" Season 3 Sets Premiere Date and First Look
Yara Sameh 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' will return with Season 3 on September 7. The spin-off series, starring Norman Reedus as Daryl and Melissa McBride as Carol, will air at 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+. The upcoming season focuses on the pair trying to make their way home, but encountering more obstacles along the way. The cast also includes Candela Saitta, Gonzalo Bouza, Hada Nieto, Yassmine Othman, Cuco Usín, Stephen Merchant, Hugo Arbués, and Greta Fernández. New series regulars are Eduardo Noriega, Óscar Jaenada, and Alexandra Masangkay. Executive producers include Reedus, McBride, showrunner David Zabel, Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, Jason Richman, Dan Percival, and Steve Squillante; Silvia Aráez and Jesús de la Vega also executive produce via Ánima Stillking. 'I couldn't be more thrilled to announce a third season and to be working side by side with the brilliant Melissa McBride,' Reedus previously said in a statement. 'Season 2 is some of my favorite storytelling of this series. Watching Melissa shine along with our brilliant cast and crew has been one of my fondest memories playing this character.' McBride joined the series, set in Europe, in Season 2, although it was initially supposed to focus on both Daryl and Carol from the beginning. 'It's one of the things that distinguishes us from the other 'Walking Dead' shows — that we get to show how different parts of the world have responded to the walker apocalypse and the different impact it has had in different places and come up with some cool, new things that you don't see in the American versions,' Zabel told Variety last year. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Seminar on 'The Call of the People of Qiblah' at Islamic Book Fair in Jakarta
Mohamed Mandour The Muslim Council of Elders held a thought-provoking seminar titled 'The Call for the People of Qiblah and Efforts to Strengthen Intra-Islamic Dialogue' as part of its participation in the 2025 Islamic Book Fair in Jakarta, Indonesia. The event drew significant interest and active engagement from both visitors and participants. The seminar featured distinguished speakers including Dr. Syafiq Mughni, Vice President of Muhammadiyah; Dr. Muhammad Zain Al-Majid, Member of the Executive Office of the Muslim Council of Elders; and Ms. Alissa Qotrunnada Wahid, Coordinator of the Gusdurian Network Indonesia (GNI). Opening the seminar, Prof. Dr. Syafiq Mughni stressed the critical importance of intra-Islamic dialogue in light of the growing challenges facing the Muslim world, both internally and externally. He noted that these challenges are a true test for the Ummah, which the Qur'an describes as 'You are the best community ever raised for humanity' [3:110]. Achieving this status, he explained, requires both knowledge and moral values, emphasizing that scientific advancement is incomplete without a strong ethical foundation. He remarked, 'The key to the revival of the Ummah lies in blending modern science with noble character. Morality is the backbone of any nation—when it collapses, the nation follows.' He also called for greater commitment to moderation and balance in addressing differences, stating that the advancement of knowledge and ethics together is what protects the Ummah from falling into extremism and takfir (excommunication). read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
