Alex Garland will direct a feature film based on "Elden Ring" for A24

24 May 2025

The creator of "Ex Machina" and "Warfare" is set to helm a feature film based on the FromSoftware hit.

Elden Ring

After months of rumors, A24 Studios has officially confirmed that Alex Garland will be the writer and director of the live-action adaptation of "Elden Ring", one of the most successful and atmospheric action games of the last decade. The project will be created in partnership with the Japanese studio Bandai Namco Entertainment, which released the original computer game. The movie will be produced by Peter Rice, George Martin, and Vince Gerardis, with DNA's Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich producing.

"Elden Ring", directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and based on the George R. R. Martin universe, was released in 2022 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon, selling over 30 million copies worldwide. The dark fantasy world with open spaces and deadly dungeons won players over with its freedom of choice and atmosphere.

For Garland, this is his fifth work with A24: previously he directed "Ex Machina" and the recent military thriller "Warfare". The director is also currently working on the script for a new zombie trilogy "28 Years Later". No release date for the "Elden Ring" movie has been announced yet, but it is known that the "Elden Ring: Nightreign" game linked to the original is coming out on May 30.

It's cool that your favorite games (the Witcher, last of ace) turn into TV series, which are not always successful, but for me they are worth watching at least one season, we are waiting!

Of course, you can't even fit part of the lore into one movie, but it's interesting to look at it)
with success, you might get a good fantasy series, which is very lacking.

Interesting news. I can't even imagine what might come out of this idea yet, however, I would like to see a movie like Lorelden's, so I'm throwing in expectations)))

To be honest, it seems to me that the era of comic films has already run out of steam. It's all the same, boring. But the film adaptations of the games are now on fire. The Last of Us, Arcane, Fallout. Now there's also the Elden Ring. That's where it's really interesting.

@Kim_Kruger: OO FAR EDGE 3 is the perfect game for the series. This is a real psychological drama at the level of the best TV series in the world, if it comes out, of course....

@N1gman: if only Michael Mando had been in the role of Vaas. I would forgive everything for this series. 🤣
It's a pity they don't. The kind of game that would have a really cool movie adaptation.

I remember Annihilation, the film should be very beautiful.

I honestly can't imagine the plot of this game. The game itself has no plot. There are notes in it, etc. but they do not give an accurate description of what is happening here. For example, you don't know how this boss appeared or how this tree can decide the fate of the world, etc. All the fans of this game are speculating about this. I'm not saying that the movie is instant shit, I'm just saying that the film adaptation may not be any better than TLOU, etc.

Well, as in all soulsexes, on the other hand, the scriptwriters have a flight for imagination.

@musicliveinus: It's also a fact that screenwriters have fantasies. But there may be problems with the Elden Ring. Although, if they show, for example, the development of all events, that is: How did these monsters appear? How did all this happen? It's interesting and logical, and so that it's not secondary to the game, but has its own twist. This movie may have potential. But this potential is like, for example, a needle in a hay drain. So, we're just hoping.

Is George Martin a producer? Is this the George whose 2 books I've already despaired of waiting for? Kick him in the neck, let him finish writing, and not fit into new projects.

The wheel of time has been canceled, the Rings of power and the House of the Dragon will live a little longer, of course, but any fantasy fish on bezrybye) Especially for such a game) Even if they don't let you down and there will be a film adaptation for Forgotten Realms, as promised, then it's great)
