The Legend of Zelda film now has a release date.

Sony Pictures and Nintendo have announced the upcoming live-action adaptation of the popular video game will arrive in movie theaters on March 26, 2027.

Wes Ball will direct the film, though no plot details or cast announcements have been shared. The project will be co-produced by Sony and Nintendo.

The film’s release date was announced Friday via Nintendo’s new Nintendo Today! app, which debuted during Nintendo Direct March 2025.

The Legend of Zelda franchise first launched in 1986. Its story centers on the characters Link and Princess Zelda, who set out to save the kingdom of Hyrule from the villainous Ganon.

A live-action film adaptation of the game was first announced in November 2023. The film’s producer Shigeru Miyamoto posted at the time that he’d been working on the project for many years.

“We have now officially started the development of the film with Nintendo itself heavily involved in the production. It will take time until its completion, but I hope you look forward to seeing it,” Miyamoto wrote.

Yolanda Saldivar, the woman who murdered singer Selena Quintanilla in 1995, has been denied parole by the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole.

Saldivar was convinced and sentenced to life in prison in 1995. She was required to serve 30 years before becoming eligible for parole. Her official eligibility date was March 30, but the Board’s decision was announced Thursday. The next review is set for 2030.

In its decision, the Board stated that the nature of Saldivar’s offense indicated “a conscious disregard for the lives, safety, or property of others.” The Board therefore ruled that Saldivar “poses a continuing threat to public safety.”

Days before the murder, Saldivar, the former president of Selena’s fan club, had been fired by the singer and her husband over allegations that she was stealing money from them. Known as the Queen of Tejano Music, Selena was 23 years old when she was killed. Her posthumous crossover album, Dreaming of You, was the first album by a Latin artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200.

Selena’s life inspired the 1997 movie Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez, as well as a 2020 Netflix series. Selena Gomez was named after her.

In a statement on the singer’s official Instagram, Selena’s family said they were grateful for the Board’s decision, saying that it “reaffirms that justice continues to stand for the beautiful life that was taken from us and from millions of fans around the world far too soon.”

“Selena’s legacy is one of love, music, and inspiration,” the statement continued. “She lived with joy, gave selflessly, and continues to uplift generations with her voice and her spirit. … [W]e remain committed to preserving her memory and ensuring that her story is honored with the dignity and respect it deserves.”

The message also thanked Selena’s fans “their unwavering support throughout the years.”

Friday means another episode of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. In this fourth season, the dynamic between Raq and her son Kanan has changed to focus on their new relationship as business partners.

“I think there are even more challenges [between them],” Patina Miller tells ABC Audio, noting the effects of her decision to kill his dad, Detective Howard. “She did something quite impulsive like Kanan did, but it’s … a bigger consequence because it’s his father.”

“Raq knows that it’s forever changed,” she continued. “Season 4 is sort of her pivoting to … if they’re not going to have the relationship they normally had, she’s trying to figure out a way that he could still be in her life in some capacity.”

With Kanan’s former business partner, Ronnie, no longer alive, she says “being business partners for Raq seems like a good idea.”

“That’s the way to sort of continue to have some sort of a connection with Kanan. If she can be his business partner, then maybe she can gain his trust in that way,” Patina says of her character. 

She notes Raq will continue to fight for her son, though she “recognizes that what she did can never, can never be undone.”

A lottery winner reunites his favorite band in the new film The Ballad of Wallis Island.

Longtime collaborators Tim Key and Tom Basden star in the movie, which arrives in select theaters on Friday.

Key plays Charles, the world’s biggest fan of the fictional former folk-rock duo McGwyer Mortimer. Basden is Herb McGwyer, a musician who is surprised to find out he’s been brought out to a remote location to play a concert for an audience of one.

The feature is based on a short film Key and Basden made with this film’s director, James Griffiths, 18 years ago. Basden told ABC Audio “it was a lovely thing to revisit and to come back to and to play these characters again and to kind of rediscover that sort of dynamic between Charles and Herb.”

Both actors wrote this film’s script, which Basden said was “a very easy and organic thing.”

“The good thing about working with someone for such a long time as I have with Tim is that you kind of know exactly what the other person would do and what that character would say,” Basden said.

After agreeing with Basden, Key made sure to add, “Just as a slight caveat. It did take us 18 years to write it.”

The biggest change from the short film to this feature is the addition of the new character Nell Mortimer, who is played by Carey Mulligan.

“That kind of elevated our film and turned it into something very different,” Key said. “Both the character, what that added to the story, and then obviously [we were] very, very lucky to have Carey Mulligan.” 

The Ballad of Wallis Island expands to even more theaters on April 18.
