Put your foolish ambitions to rest! An Elden Ring movie by A24 is in production. Read about the leaked sets, the all-star cast, and Reddit's hilarious reactions.
Tarnished, put your foolish ambitions to rest, because this isn't a drill: An Elden Ring movie is officially in production. Yes, the 2022 GOTY that caused millions of broken controllers is coming to the big screen. Before you roll your eyes and expect another Hollywood cash-grab disaster, hold onto your flasks, because the dev team behind this project is actually cracked.
Here’s the quick patch notes for those who skip cutscenes: A24 (the indie powerhouse known for weird, artsy masterpieces) is producing. Recently, a leaked photo from a London film set surfaced, showing what looks incredibly like a Church of Marika. The attention to detail is insane.
But the real hype comes from the stack they’ve assembled:
As soon as the leak dropped, the gaming subreddit erupted. Scrolling through the threads is a goldmine of hopium, skepticism, and top-tier shitposting.
The Skeptics (Skill Issue): "Not a game whose story I think would adapt well to the cinema." Fair point. How do you adapt a game with zero dialogue where the plot is hidden in sword descriptions? But fans quickly countered: "It’s A24 and Alex Garland. He’s in love with the game."
The Hopium Dealers: Redditor ChiefLeef22 laid out the facts perfectly: Garland is a massive FromSoft fanboy. The madman drafted a whole script and tons of concept art, pitched it to Miyazaki, and actually got his approval. Add in the practical sets and Garland's proven art direction from Annihilation, and it's hard to nitpick this project right now.
The GRRM Roast: The meme never dies. "Bro will do literally anything but write Winds of Winter." Honestly, we gave up hope for that closure years ago. Let the man produce his dark fantasy movies in peace.
The Ultimate Lore Joke: My favorite comment of the thread: "There is no dialogue, but you can learn the lore from reading the bottom of your popcorn bucket." 10/10, no notes.
Adapting a video game into a movie is like trying to merge a 10-year-old spaghetti codebase into a modern framework. It usually ends in a fiery crash (looking at you, Borderlands).
But there’s a lesson here for both game devs and filmmakers: Passion projects scale better than corporate greed. When the lead architect (Garland) actually plays the game, understands the meta, builds a solid prototype, and gets it code-reviewed by the original creator (Miyazaki), you might just create a masterpiece. A24 is the perfect engine to run this on.
I won't pre-order my tickets just yet, but I'm definitely keeping an eye out for the first trailer. In the meantime, maybe use that Free $300 to test VPS on Vultr to host a dedicated wiki server for the upcoming movie lore. Let Garland cook.
