I think this is a bad idea, and I don’t want it, but the one upside is it might help me finally understand the game’s storyline…

Vaatividya (YouTube) has excellent, long-ish form Elden Rong Lore videos. Highly recommend.

That's funnier than it has any right to be.

In the volcano area, I found a random message in the middle of nowhere, that simply read :

"Seek the Elden Ring Or something..."

To this day I'm convinced it's the most practical summary of the game and the player motivations. It also made me giggle a lot for no reason.

lol that’s excellent

And the players be like: 'Nooo! The game was meant to be so difficult! Now they make a super-easy mode where you don't even have to play the game at all! And anybody can watch it!!!'

It's published by A24 this I like, hopefully Garland can bring his vision on his more surrealist films like sunshine,anahliation and 28 days later

Miyazaki: "Why yes I would like a money thank you very much."

They ~~'re gonna~~ could easily Rings of Power the hell out of this.

A24 is definitely not Amazon

Fair point, I'll revise my statement. Everything Everywhere All At Once was objectively good.

Really. I haven't played the game, but if I heard there was a movie I'd be disinterested. Having Alex garland attached immediately makes me interested. I know the game is grr Martin, so I assume there is the bones of a great world and story to tell.

How is this not /c/fakenews

I can see an Elden Ring movie happening but... A24? The only way this could work is either if it's animated (it's not) or if it's going to be incredibly high budget.

There is potential this could be good because there are a lot of stories that could be told before the shattering, but I'm not optimistic.

[–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

Civil War had the largest budget of any A24 film previously. This will probably tie or break that record.

[–] xyzzy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

150 minutes of parrying, dodge rolling, and running away

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The only way most people experience the full game content is to watch someone else play it so a movie is just putting a price tag on that.

[–] CrookedSerpent@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

This is going to piss me off so much... Please God let this get cancelled...
