A24s ELDEN RING Movie

[RazedInBlack]

What is it with Hollywood and their fascination with games-to-movie adaptation? It always ends up really bad.

Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Tomb Raider was ok I guess, Assassin's Creed, Until Dawn, they're all crap!

The fact that A24 is involved gives me hope but I said the same thing about The Last of Us HBO adaptation . . . Look how that turned out

Anyway here's a rundown for anyone who plays this masterpiece, I seriously doubt one movie is gonna do this game any justice, a trilogy

Elden Ring is an upcoming epic dark fantasy action film written and directed by Alex Garland, and based on the 2022 video game Elden Ring developed by FromSoftware. It stars Kit Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Ben Whishaw, Nick Offerman, Tom Burke, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Emma Laird, Peter Serafinowicz, and Jonathan Pryce.


Elden Ring is scheduled to be released in the United States by A24 on March 3, 2028.

In June 2024, Elden Ring (2022) director Hidetaka Miyazaki said he was open to a "very strong partner" adapting the game to other mediums. Worldbuilding writer George R. R. Martin teased a film or television adaptation a few days later, playfully denying knowledge. Shortly thereafter, director Alex Garland privately shared his experience playing Elden Ring with A24's head of film, Noah Sacco, impressing him to support pursuing an adaptation. After Garland wrote a 160-page spec script, accompanied by forty pages of imagery, Sacco flew him to Japan to sign a deal with FromSoftware, the developer of the game.

In May 2025, a live-action film adaptation was announced to be in development at A24, with Garland hired to write and direct the film. Additionally, Kit Connor joined the cast. In July, Cailee Spaeny and Ben Whishaw were reported to be in talks to star in the film. Connor, Spaeny and Whishaw would be officially confirmed to star in April 2026, with Nick Offerman, Sonoya Mizuno, Emma Laird and Jonathan Pryce among additional cast announced.


Garland made his directorial debut with Ex Machina, a 2014 feature film based on his own story and screenplay, starring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander and Oscar Isaac. Garland's second film, Annihilation (2018), was based on the 2014 novel by Jeff VanderMeer. Garland described it as "an adaptation [that] was a memory of the book", rather than book-referenced screenwriting, to capture the "dream like nature" and tone of his reading experience.

In January 2021, Garland was hired to direct his third film, Men, starring Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear. In April 2022, it was announced that Garland would once again work with A24 for his fourth feature, Civil War, an action epic starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, and previous collaborators Stephen McKinley Henderson and Cailee Spaeny.

I've seen quite a few A24 movies that were quite bad but one can hope...

I do think a limited series may be better here - simply because the scope of this game is massive.
