Remember how The Lego Movie mixed characters from all across pop culture into a single madcap world, and everybody loved it? Roy Lee, who was a producer on the acclaimed minifigure mashup film, would love, love, love to do the same thing for Nintendo.

Speaking at the "Franchise Fever: Pursuing Ideas and Big Audiences" panel at the DICE 2016 summit in Las Vegas, Lee singled out working with Nintendo as his dream project, as reported by Game Informer: "I think Zelda, Mario, and the whole universe of characters would be perfect for a Lego Movie type of [film]," Lee said. "I don't have the rights to it, but I would love to. That would be my Holy Grail."

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
