An Elden Ring live-action film is officially in the works! This project is being spearheaded by acclaimed writer and director Alex Garland, known for his work on films like Ex Machina. The production is a collaboration between A24, a company known for its unique storytelling, and Bandai Namco, the publisher behind our beloved game.
One interesting tidbit is that George R. R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire (which inspired Game of Thrones), is one of the producers. He played a significant role in developing the game's story and characters, so it's great to see him involved in bringing it to the big screen.
Here's what we know so far:
- Production Companies: A24 and Bandai Namco
- Director/Writer: Alex Garland
- Producers: Includes George R. R. Martin and others from British film company DNA, which has collaborated with Garland before.
At this point, details about the plot, casting, or release date are still under wraps. So, it's a bit of a mystery what direction they'll take with the story. FromSoftware's involvement hasn't been confirmed either, nor has the participation of Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game's creator.
Interestingly, there have been rumours about an Elden Ring film circulating for a while, with Martin teasing its possibility in the past. He has previously played coy about his involvement, stating he has nothing to announce. However, it seems like the project is now a reality!
