Film director Alex Garland expressed a strong desire to create a movie adaptation of the popular video game "Elden Ring"
In a remarkable turn of events, acclaimed filmmaker Alex Garland, known for his work on films like Annihilation and Civil War, has taken on a new project – a movie adaptation of Elden Ring, the 2022 Game of the Year.
The Elden Ring film adaptation was officially announced in 2025, with Garland presenting his scripts and visual references to the studio during the early stages of production preparation. The film is being bankrolled by film studio A24.
Garland's enthusiasm for the project is palpable. He flew across the planet to pitch his script to the game's creators at From Software, a testament to his dedication. He even presented additional 40 pages of visual references to aid his pitch.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, the highly esteemed designer and president of From Software, was convinced by Garland's pitch, marking a significant milestone in the project's development.
However, there have been some concerns about A24's planned adaptation of Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding games. An anecdote has surfaced about Kojima's inability to edit or modulate his ideas, but it remains unclear how this anecdote is related to the Elden Ring movie.
Meanwhile, in other news, Sacco, the head of film at A24, was impressed by the fantasy setting of the Elden Ring game, which reminded him of the Lord of the Rings movies.
