Bandai Namco has confirmed the rumors going around that Elden Ring will be
adapted into a live-action movie. The project will be produced by Bandai
Namco and American film company A24, and it will be helmed by filmmaker Alex
Garland, who directed Ex Machina, Annihilation, Civil War and Warfare. He was
also the novelist behind The Beach and had written the movies 28 Days Later,
Dredd and 28 Years Later. The film will be produced by Peter Rice, along with
Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich from DNA, as well as with George R. R.
Martin and Vince Gerardis.

Elden Ring is a dark fantasy action role-playing game developed by
FromSoftware, which was also the studio behind Dark Souls. Like other "Souls
games," it has a reputation for being notoriously difficult, and a movie
would allow people too intimidated to even touch it to experience its story
and its universe. Martin, who's of course most known for the A Song of Ice
and Fire novels, provided the game's backstory and world building.
FromSoftware's president Hidetaka Miyazaki directed the game. Miyazaki was
also the director behind the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne and Sekiro.

Not much is known about the movie adaptation at the moment other than what
Bandai Namco has announced. There are no stars attached to it yet, or a
target release date. Fans do have Elden Ring Nightreign to look forward to,
however: The co-op survival spinoff will be available on the PC, PS4, PS5,
Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S starting on May 30.
