The Late Sam Neill’s Final Movie Might Be The Legend Of Zelda

The Late Sam Neill’s Final Movie Might Be The Legend Of Zelda https://ift.tt/WBwkylx The cast for the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie is becoming clearer, and a report indicates that the legendary New Zealand actor Sam Neill, who died in July at the age of 78, has a role in the game-to-film adaptation. Deadline reports that Neill, best known to audiences as Dr. Alan Grant in three Jurassic Park films, filmed his role in the Wes Ball-directed movie prior to his death.
