Summary

  • The Elden Ring movie rumors are real, and Alex Garland will be the man responsible for directing the live-action adaptation.
  • Deadline reports that Garland and A24 will come together for the movie, with George R.R. Martin serving as a producer.
  • Earlier this month, Garland was rumored to be in charge of the project, though many took it with a grain of salt.

Well, it looks like the rumors are indeed true.

According to Deadline, Alex Garland is teaming up with A24 to develop an Elden Ring live-action film. Besides directing the project, Garland will also be its writer. Furthermore, Peter Rice will produce the movie, assisted by Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, as well as Vince Gerardis and George R.R. Martin.

The movie launch date hasn’t been specified yet. But when it finally arrives, it will be the first FromSoftware production to be adapted into a film, and it will join the ranks of The Last of Us, Minecraft, and Super Mario Bros., as video game series that have successfully moved beyond gaming consoles.

Initially, There Were A Lot Of Doubts About Garland’s Involvement With The Movie

Initially, Nexus Point News announced in late April that a film was to be written and directed by Garland. This news rapidly spread online, but the original post was removed from the site. More recently, a revised version of the article has been re-published.

Initially, the news sparked a wave of enthusiasm among fans, but many urged caution since the source wasn’t known for its reliability. Moreover, given Andrew Garfield’s latest works like “Civil War” and “Warfare,” he seemed an improbable choice to handle both scriptwriting and direction responsibilities.

Martin had previously mentioned in February the possibility of an Elden Ring film, but he cautioned that his participation could be restricted because of ongoing projects. However, it remains undefined what specific role Martin might assume as a producer.

Ultimately, Nexus Point News proved correct, and now we can all start speculating about the film’s cast. In fact, fans have already put forth their suggestions for who should play Patches, and it seems that the selection process for the Tarnished won’t take much longer. I personally believe Chris Pratt is a strong contender for the role.
