Oh man, where to start with this? So, Bandai Namco and A24—yeah, you heard that right—are actually going for that Elden Ring movie. It’s officially a thing! Never thought I’d say that, but here we are. And guess who’s steering this wild ship? Alex Garland. You know, the guy who gave us movies like 28 Days Later and Ex Machina. Loved those! But anyway—oh right, before we get all hyped, this thing might take some time. So, patience, folks. They’re teaming up for something, but it’s not like tomorrow, you know?
Let’s rewind a bit. I still remember when George R.R. Martin dropped a hint about a possible Elden Ring movie way back in, uh, February 2025. Yep, got us all buzzing back then. For a while after, total silence though. Like the “did I just dream that?” kind of silence. Then bam! Out of nowhere, Bandai Namco decides to confirm it. Talk about a rollercoaster!
Okay, so here’s the funny thing. A24—yeah, the studio that brought us Midsommar, The Lighthouse, and Uncut Gems—is now diving into the Elden Ring universe. Kind of cool, right? They’ve got this knack for picking up weird yet amazing stuff. Fans are already speculating and daydreaming about which parts of the game will hit the big screen. Fingers crossed it’s as epic as the game itself, because, seriously, Elden Ring is legendary.
Who’s in charge of making magic happen? Just Alex Garland so far. Seriously, his resume is not bad at all. 28 Days Later, Ex Machina, and wait for it—he’s dabbled in games too. Think Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and Capcom’s DmC: Devil May Cry. Could this connection be why he’s onboard? Pure guesswork, but it fits. As for George R.R. Martin, no clue if he’ll join the party. He’s busy, you know—books to write, dragons to tend to.
Now, Elden Ring—if you somehow missed it—is revered as one of the top Soulslike games ever. No wonder they want to share it with the world. Still, gotta remember, turning a game into a movie takes time. Years even. So let’s chill a bit, yeah? Updates will come when they do. Just keep an ear out for more from A24. If they can pull off this film like their other hits, we’re in for a treat.
And that’s all I’ve got. Until then, stay hyped!
