Lead actors announced for 'Legend of Zelda' movie
The film's release is set for May 2027, joining a stream of game adaptations from "Super Mario" to "Sonic the Hedgehog" that have stormed the box office in recent years. Bo Bragason will play Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will play Link -- an elf warrior who swordfights his way through a monster-filled fantasy world -- Nintendo said on social media platform X on Wednesday. "I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen," said the post attributed to game designer and Nintendo executive Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto, the co-producer of "Super Mario", created the "Zelda" universe in 1986. Since then, the hugely popular series has sold more than 140 million games worldwide. Its latest installment, 2024's "The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom", saw the titular character shed her role as a damsel in distress to be the heroine for the first time. Bragason has previously starred in the British TV series "Three Girls" and "Renegade Nell", while Ainsworth was the voice of Pinocchio in a 2022 movie remake. Before the announcement, online speculation had been rife that US trans actress Hunter Schafer, known for HBO hit show "Euphoria", might be picked for the part of Zelda. The movie, directed by Wes Ball of the "Maze Runner" trilogy, is a big-screen first for Zelda, although the game was adapted for a 13-episode animated series in 1989. Movie adaptations of hit video games have become big business, with Nintendo's "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" the second-highest grossing film of 2023.

BREAKING NEWS 'Do not eat': Supermarkets issue urgent warning for popular ice creams due to deadly risk
Popular ice creams have been urgently recalled from all major supermarkets over fears they could trigger severe allergic reactions. Food firm Unilever has issued a safety notice for its Wall's Mini Milk Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies, warning that the ingredients label fails to list key allergens in English. The affected batches contain milk and may also include pistachio nuts, peanuts and soya—posing a serious health risk to anyone with food allergies or intolerances. The recall applies to ten-pack boxes—(10 x 35ml)—with the following batch codes: L5123, L5126, L5127, L5128, L5129, L5141 and L5142, and a best before date of May 2027. In a statement, safety watchdog the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: 'This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, and/or an allergy to nuts (pistachios), peanuts or soya.' Unilever has confirmed it is removing the affected items from shelves and is advising customers who have bought them not to consume them. Instead, they are urged to contact the company's careline for a refund. While allergic reactions to food are often manageable they can, in some cases, be severe and even fatal if not treated promptly. More to follow.
