Wes Ball Talks 'The Legend of Zelda' and ‘Ruiner’ Movie Adaptions [Exclusive]

It's fair to say Wes Ball has a lot on his plate. Fresh off the success of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the director has been juggling multiple high-profile projects, including the long-rumored Legend of Zelda adaptation for Nintendo and a possible sequel to Kingdom. But what about Ruiner, the cyberpunk action-thriller based on the hit indie video game? When speaking with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff during a Q&A following our IMAX screening of Kingdom celebrating the film's VFX Oscar nomination, Ball shared his enthusiasm for the Ruiner world while admitting that his immediate focus remains on Zelda and Apes. When asked directly if he knew which, out of Ruiner or Zelda he was looking to jump into next, Ball responded: "No! Ruiner is actually very cool."
