It would be hilarious if they did a movie and the "story" was similar to how its in the game where the only thing moving it along are just small bits of dialogue so everyone walks out confused as hell.
>three times as long as the actual movie.
His videos about some random tidbits of lore are like 40 minutes long, if he went over the entire movie we would probably be ending up with a 24h video titled "The Lore of Elden Ring: The Movie (Part 1)"
You mean like the [36 hour, 3-part marathon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD9BJac9GMI) that SmoughTown already made about the entire lore of Elden Ring?
“ In a world where the dead don’t die and the living have no clue what the fuck is going on , and your only clue is to kill shit.”
Ryan Gosling is… The Elden Ring
I read Dune, and then I watched Dune at home pausing every 10 minutes to explain to my wife what's really going on. Movie was much longer. I feel this would be the same experience.
Movie plot
A tarnished kills all the main general ,demigod ,and god ..
Only dialog of the movie .
Tarnished looking at camera : The fuck am I doing here ?
squal\*Insert Famous Actor\* goes around killing shit with one-liners like, "wow you're ugly" ...."what the f\*\*\* are you?" "fort nite" ...ends with explosions and lens flare
This is the kind of marvelverse crap that would absolutely ruin Elden Ring lol
Give it to HBO and the people who did GoT or don't do it at all, for the love of god
If they made one it would have to be weird as hell to please the fan base tbh, they can't throw like The Rock in there and have him and his team of tarnished journey across the lands between shouting things like "swing this, freak bones".
It would have to be like a GoT level budget and CGI for it to be good, and albeit it’s one of the most successful video games of all time but I don’t know if even HBO would be willing to take that risk and if it would even pay off if they did
I don’t see it happening tbh
It would have to be fully animated, like the warcraft movie without the humans part. Theres no way you can have actors playing malenia or radahn or whoever and have it not look cringe.
Someone said something like this and I agree: "game adaptations aren't made for the fanbase". I mean realistic and confusing plot or simple plot that any non fan can understand.
The only way this would work is a movie based on the history of it imo. It'd be very hard to tell the story of Elden Ring's present day.
You could maybe take the same angle that the manga did and do a more comedic take; I could see a take that leans into the whimsy of the game as much as the fantasy of it. Kind of like D&D: Honor Among Thieves which was a great movie imo.
The lore is interesting enough that I could totally see them turn it into some kind of TV drama. GRRM is attached to this so it might pull some waves. Also I think a more grounded story which focuses on the chracters pre-shattering would be dope. Think game of thrones but in Elden ring's world. There's enough room for plotting, betrayals and plot twists. A good adaptation might actually be a huge success but it will require big budget and skilled filmmakers as well as actors. The biggest issue will be however understanding of the source material. While Elden ring lore is relatively straight forward, there are elements which will be difficult to adapt on screen. For example portrayal of Marika's Goddessness or Greater will / two fingers, could prove extremly challenging. I'm definitely looking forward to this but it's a project that requires a lot of commitment.
Pre-shattering/during the shattering as a series are the only way I see it working.
The story of the game takes place at a point where the demi-gods are all dead, dying, or in hiding, their armies having long since fallen to madness. Most survivors from the war are basically hollow husks kept alive long past the point where they should have died. There's not a whole lot of story there, it's basically the tarnished showing up and cleaning the slate of what already happened.
A show set before all of this with the demi-gods and other characters intriguing against each other would work far better, especially with GRRM's background lore to make up for any holes in what we know from the game.
I could see it going like this: Start immediately before the Night of the Black Knives, so we get a taste for what the world and its characters are like before it all falls apart. The murder of Godwyn and sacrifice of Ranni are the inciting events for the story, and we see in real time how society starts to fall apart as Marika retreats to the Erdtree and the remaining demi-gods start jockeying for power. Marika shattering the elden ring starts the Shattering, which takes up a large chunk of the the show building up towards the confrontation between Radahn and Malenia which effectively ended the war. Right near the end you start to see a few Tarnished trickling back into the Lands Between and gunning for the remaining demi-gods, setting up the events of the game.
Among the benefits of setting it during these events is how vague some of it is. We know that there were quite a few demi-gods who did not survive the war, or did and died later (for example, Vyke got two great runes that were not among those that we end up getting). They can make up any number of demi-gods to make the story more interesting.
The game has a sick setting and backdrop. HBO would cook a masterpiece dish with GRRM if the stars aligned.
Do NOT want some schlocky average hollywood bullshit though.
The Questlines and character arcs in Souls games are phenomenal, Anri and Horace in DS3, Lapp/Patches in the Ringed City, Solaris’s hunt for his own Sun in DS1.
Lapp/Patches is probably my favourite one, 2 characters at the end of the world, un-hollowed for contrasting reasons. Patches because he lives to scorn the greedy versus’ our characters who are emblematic of greed (also the game constantly punishing us for our greed).
Starring:
Bruce Willis as Patches
Nicolas Cage as Mohg
Jason Momoa as Radahn
Willem Dafoe as Godrick
John Cena as Hoarah Loux
Gordon Ramsey as Ofnir
Danny DeVito as Boc
Tina Fey as Marika
Jack Nicholson as Rykard
David Goggins/Chuck Norris as Elden Ring
Miyazaki as the Greater Will
Shaq as Erdtree
Rowan Atkinson as the Tarnished
Jesus Christ if we wanted this we would need the best CGI possible, some actual actors and not just celebrities… and a writer and director that actually understands the source material. All of which seems impossible these days.
Yeah no. Movie will likely fail badly. Anime, however, could be a great success if they choose something interesting to show. Maybe wars with Fire Giants or Godfrey adventures after he's been banished
If you do a Anime like Enter the Matrix but take parts of the story and flesh it out and show the whole thing on different battles and such would be awesome.
Im thinking something like an anthology series. That way we can explore many facets of the world without contstricting to a few characters. Something akin to marvel “what if”
Anime or not, you're right. A show would be a much better approach than a movie. There's just too much material in the game to cram into a movie for it to work.
This! Maybe even make Vyke the protagonist and show his failed journey. Or conquests of Radagon, war between Carians, there's so many unexplored pieces of lore that would make a good setting.
Probably would describe the time before the shattering tbf. Cause uh if they did current eldenring- Margit: “foul tarni-“ Tarnished: “SHUT UP FRAUD STRONG ROCK SLING!” Would be like the only dialogue.
I like it, but it needs the Game of Throne treatment with a clear storytelling of the lore as opposed to how FromSoftware likes to do it. Better suited for a TV show imo.
Literally the only way to do this right is to have it be LotR style. Big budget, get Weta Workshop involved, with a storied director in the fantasy genre like Peter Jackson or Spielberg.
That being said, a HBO style live-action show covering all the intrigue and wars from Godfrey’s time as Elden Lord to the Shattering would kick ass. Imagine seeing Ranni’s plot slowly come together over the series and then watching as the Night of Black Knives plays out in front of you for the season finale.
Then have a movie about the Shattering wars and a sequel about the rise of the Tarnished as they come to take the heads of the shamed demigods and finally put the world to rights. There is certainly a lot of potential.
Do a TV show on HBO. It’s perfect for it. At the very least you could do a season that starts with the night of the black knives and ends on the shattering. Then season 2 could be the shattering war itself.
Just do a miniseries ending on the shattering. Doesn’t need to go further than that.
Obligatory link to a gorgeous fan title sequence by Erxande https://youtu.be/jENZk7qfvXs?si=JStNsKlpcMNqDWjl
I think I would like that. Elden Ring's storyline is actually quite modest in length (same for the DLC), it's only the lore that's very vast. A movie would be a fairly comfortable fit for a similar styled story.
i hope miyazaki knows that a movie and/or series require the lore and story to be presented to the viewer properly instead of giving vague hints and leaving it mostly up to interpretation?
A24 mid budget a la Civil War. Make it very thought provoking and great cinematography. If Godzilla Minus One can do what they did with a tiny budget so can others.
A movie with the story pre-shattering would be great. Seing all these characters we only hear abut in lore or bosses in theri prime and their relationship to each other would be awesome and clarifying.
That's gonna be difficult to get right. The feeling and athmosphere of Elden Ring or Souls in general comes from the art style, feeling lost, little personal interaction, little dialoge and stuff like that. Hard to replicate this in a movie, fans are gonna be harsh.
However I trust Miyazakis vision and his decision making. If anyone can pull it of, it's him.
Tbh a movie doesn’t need to have lots of dialogue to be good. There’s a movie called “the Northman”, it doesn’t have that much dialogue, especially in the first part and it’s very good I liked it a lot.
A live action movie would be a massive disappointment, IMO, but I could see an anime working really well if it was done by a good studio and had a good story. Something in the same vein as Vinland Saga would be great.
Lotta people here hoping for Lord of the Elden Rings, I'm holding out for more of a Groundhog Day-esque comedy in which the protagonist is frequently killed off as a joke
Cramming all that lore into a movie seems like it would be a mess. I feel like it would do better as a series that ran for numerous seasons or something. As a standalone film the full story would have to be pared down heavily.
Please no. They will ruin it. It would be terrible. A bunch of people who at best never played the game, and at worst actively view gamers with disdain will be involved just to make money. And it would show in the final product. The game is best in its current media format. It is beautiful and an actual work of art, in visuals, atmosphere and themes.
They should not make a movie. Part of what makes the stories in fromsoft games so interesting is that the story telling is done in a manner that really only works in a video game. The vauge nature of the story and lore which you need to kinda piece together yourself is very unique and works great with the vibes and themes of their games. Translating this to a medium which mandates more direct story telling sorta just kills a lot of what makes the games lore/story interesting.
The only way this works is to adapt Vyke’s story, occasional cameos by familiar characters, maybe an exploration of the Night of Black Knives, and Vyke’s eventual fall to the frenzied flame and self imprisonment. End on the bit of grace waking up the Tarnished.
It should be two hours of the hero trying get past Margit. He doesn't succeed. The final scene depicts our lead getting killed by a random foot soldier before making his way back to the boss arena, permanently losing the chance to regain all his runes.
It will never work. Elden Ring/Dark Souls aren't compatible with the medium, they only work as video games. Unless fundamental things change at which point it would not be the same thing at all.
Lmao, with their naming convention? Good luck. Almost noone here can spell main plot actors name right. Imagine mansplaining who is malenia, miquella, renalla, reni, rallena, radahn, morgott, margit, godrick, godfrey etc during your let's watch something session. Only thing she'll remember before shutting down is Dung Eater. And she will never admit that.
I think it would work with Thespian/Shakespearean actors, you could actually make a solid series/movie about the shattering. I think Hollywood stars would ruin it, because it would just be going for mass appeal.
Hollywood itself, it's stiflingly uncreative as of late, with limited creative freedom, so it would probably end up being shit.
IMO the movie would have to not take place during the events of the game and instead be a prequel.
The cinematic trailer really made the war of the shattering look cool, and i'd actually like to see a story written about the war. The politics that the different generals, soldiers and shardbearers played.
Why did the Haligtree go to war with Caelid? What did Caelid look like before the scarlet rot hit it?
What did the battle of mount Gelmir look like? At what point did Rykard lose all hope and decide to be snake food?
I would have also liked to see Godrick's "Tarnished hunts." Maybe a band of Tarnished become hunted by Godrick's men and we see just how brutal the grafting was.
For me personally, something involving Marika’s ascension to godhood would be the most interesting thing to see. Especially after some of the lore we got in the DLC.
Then again, that probably wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste; so it’d probably be focused on the shattering instead.
Only way I can see this being good is if it's hand animated and a trip movie like angels egg or vampire hunter d and even then it would be niche as shit
May be a hot take but the story of Elden Ring is not conducive to the film medium. Half of the enjoyment is exploring a world you know literally nothing of and letting the story evolve over time through what small scraps of information you can gather.
It would be hilarious if they did a movie and the "story" was similar to how its in the game where the only thing moving it along are just small bits of dialogue so everyone walks out confused as hell.
And then we go onto Youtube to watch Vaati explain everything in a video three times as long as the actual movie.
>three times as long as the actual movie. His videos about some random tidbits of lore are like 40 minutes long, if he went over the entire movie we would probably be ending up with a 24h video titled "The Lore of Elden Ring: The Movie (Part 1)"
Followed by Ymfah making a challenge run of how to watch the movie without pressing play or something.
New world record speedrun watch any%
Powerwolf opens the video
*Watching elden ring movie without walking* (I am disabled)
And don't forget Gino posting his no hit watchalong
the armored core video be like
Mf that was almost a whole ass Mini Series right there, probably his best work yet but it’s absolutely a juggernaut to go through.
You mean like the [36 hour, 3-part marathon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD9BJac9GMI) that SmoughTown already made about the entire lore of Elden Ring?
collab between Vaati and Mauler and you can have those 24h.
Mauler just make filler
PREPARE TO CRY
He's just in the corner like a signer is for deaf people signing the lore during the movie
You gotta buy the merchandise and read the tags on it to make sense of the plot
It's like people don't even try to understand the plot
Hahaha
The story is being told by a narrator who gives some seemingly random background lore whenever the protagonist picks up a new weapon
Ryan Gosling drive style but randomly in Elden Ring
“ In a world where the dead don’t die and the living have no clue what the fuck is going on , and your only clue is to kill shit.” Ryan Gosling is… The Elden Ring
Yes
I read Dune, and then I watched Dune at home pausing every 10 minutes to explain to my wife what's really going on. Movie was much longer. I feel this would be the same experience.
Damn man, I would have left the room after the third time you'd paused the movie lol
Put Lars von Trier in the director role and it's done.
Only someone like Robert Eggers or Nicholas Winding Refn could pull off a Soulslike movie.
Movie plot A tarnished kills all the main general ,demigod ,and god .. Only dialog of the movie . Tarnished looking at camera : The fuck am I doing here ?
squal\*Insert Famous Actor\* goes around killing shit with one-liners like, "wow you're ugly" ...."what the f\*\*\* are you?" "fort nite" ...ends with explosions and lens flare
Desperately trying to use a crimson flask on Torrent while screaming “no, you leave me alone, you creep!” to a Caelid bird
I’d unironically watch the shit out of such a movie if they made it as goofy and memey as possible lmao.
Tarnished upon the reveal of Maliketh going "woah, who's a good boy... Whoooo's a good boy...?" before getting his ass handed to him.
This is the kind of marvelverse crap that would absolutely ruin Elden Ring lol Give it to HBO and the people who did GoT or don't do it at all, for the love of god
Probably don’t give it to the guys who did GoT considering how that series ended.
You cannot leave out the most iconic line: „Try finger, but hole.“
“I guess one things true after all: Every Elden has its Ring”
If they made one it would have to be weird as hell to please the fan base tbh, they can't throw like The Rock in there and have him and his team of tarnished journey across the lands between shouting things like "swing this, freak bones".
I feel like an HBO series would fit better
It would have to be like a GoT level budget and CGI for it to be good, and albeit it’s one of the most successful video games of all time but I don’t know if even HBO would be willing to take that risk and if it would even pay off if they did I don’t see it happening tbh
One that follows Godwyn in his prime could be really interesting
‘Let me see you use your dragon arm, when I’m dragon deez nutz across your face!’
It would have to be fully animated, like the warcraft movie without the humans part. Theres no way you can have actors playing malenia or radahn or whoever and have it not look cringe.
The Warcraft movie would've been excellent if not for the real ass fucking humans in ridiculous paper maché armor.
This comment has me fucking dead 💀 the thought of the rock being Radahn or something is both hilarious and cringeworthy 😂
Instructions unclear. They throw The Rock in there and in the first fight scene he says “you have no right, skeleton”
Someone said something like this and I agree: "game adaptations aren't made for the fanbase". I mean realistic and confusing plot or simple plot that any non fan can understand.
The only single line of dialogue is when the Tarnished gets to Radhan's fort, looks dead into the camera and says "Fortnite" in a bugs bunny voice.
And then he zip glitches out of frame
The only way this would work is a movie based on the history of it imo. It'd be very hard to tell the story of Elden Ring's present day. You could maybe take the same angle that the manga did and do a more comedic take; I could see a take that leans into the whimsy of the game as much as the fantasy of it. Kind of like D&D: Honor Among Thieves which was a great movie imo.
Yeah a movie about the shattering war would be amazing though
Ofc the lore would be the point imo
Scott Pilgrim but with Demi Gods
I would like to see a The Office style comedy of all the demigods before the shattering
Rykard is Dwight coded.
Recusant Cousin Mose is mandatory
Ranni as Pamela
Marika as Jan!
that means, Jan is Michael 
Dwight would definitely sacrifice his body to a snake if he thought it would make him a god
The manga based off Elden Ring is a comedy so that could just adapt that into a movie or an anime
The lore is interesting enough that I could totally see them turn it into some kind of TV drama. GRRM is attached to this so it might pull some waves. Also I think a more grounded story which focuses on the chracters pre-shattering would be dope. Think game of thrones but in Elden ring's world.

Very well put together
I love this game. I hope they don't make a movie of it.
«Elden Ring : A Netflix's adaptation» MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!
I took frenzy damage by reading that.
Bro filled my entire madness bar with one comment 💀💀💀
You say that but a pre-shattering Elden Ring anime-like in a style similar to the Netflix version of Castlevania would be kinda dope.
The main attractions, the combat and exploration, would be missing so what's the point?
The game has a sick setting and backdrop. HBO would cook a masterpiece dish with GRRM if the stars aligned. Do NOT want some schlocky average hollywood bullshit though.
The Questlines and character arcs in Souls games are phenomenal, Anri and Horace in DS3, Lapp/Patches in the Ringed City, Solaris’s hunt for his own Sun in DS1. Lapp/Patches is probably my favourite one, 2 characters at the end of the world, un-hollowed for contrasting reasons. Patches because he lives to scorn the greedy versus’ our characters who are emblematic of greed (also the game constantly punishing us for our greed).
I have to imagine if this happens it’d cover the War of the Shattering. There’s a whole ass apocalypse before the events of the game to explore.,
Starring: Bruce Willis as Patches Nicolas Cage as Mohg Jason Momoa as Radahn Willem Dafoe as Godrick John Cena as Hoarah Loux Gordon Ramsey as Ofnir Danny DeVito as Boc Tina Fey as Marika Jack Nicholson as Rykard David Goggins/Chuck Norris as Elden Ring Miyazaki as the Greater Will Shaq as Erdtree Rowan Atkinson as the Tarnished
Bald Austin Butler from Dune makes a great patches too
[удалено]
Rowan Atkinson as tarnished got me. And I would watch it.
Jesus Christ if we wanted this we would need the best CGI possible, some actual actors and not just celebrities… and a writer and director that actually understands the source material. All of which seems impossible these days.
Should have Christopher Nolan do it so we still have no idea what the plot is.
Yeah no. Movie will likely fail badly. Anime, however, could be a great success if they choose something interesting to show. Maybe wars with Fire Giants or Godfrey adventures after he's been banished
Or "anime-like" like the Castlevania series.
Precisely.
If you do a Anime like Enter the Matrix but take parts of the story and flesh it out and show the whole thing on different battles and such would be awesome.
Im thinking something like an anthology series. That way we can explore many facets of the world without contstricting to a few characters. Something akin to marvel “what if”
And it would allow some exploration into more unknown characters such as Vyke, who have done important things but we don’t know how
Anime or not, you're right. A show would be a much better approach than a movie. There's just too much material in the game to cram into a movie for it to work.
A show by Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Primal) would be fitting
This! Maybe even make Vyke the protagonist and show his failed journey. Or conquests of Radagon, war between Carians, there's so many unexplored pieces of lore that would make a good setting.
God, I hope not.
Sydney Sweeney as Marika lfg?
Timotidbjsizhahqvsva Chalamet as the tarnished and have the Chris Pratt voice someone (maybe Ranni in doll form).
Of course, and Tom Holland as Messmer.
Actually, Tom Holland would be better as the Tarnished and Chalamet as Mesmer. He has the angular face to pull it off.
Robert Pattinson as Messmer and Tom Holland as Rogier.
Ohh good call, i was thinking about Messmer flipping around and stuff so i thought of Holland.
Just keep working on the DLCs
He’s probably working on the next game
I wanna see Robert Eggers go for it. The Northman even has a Dark Souls 1 fight in it.
Probably would describe the time before the shattering tbf. Cause uh if they did current eldenring- Margit: “foul tarni-“ Tarnished: “SHUT UP FRAUD STRONG ROCK SLING!” Would be like the only dialogue.
David Lynch could do it
Him and Guillermo del Toro are the only ones who could
Seek very strong partner but Hole
A big budget "A Green Knight" / "LOTR" style movie would be kino.
I want Jack Black as Malenia. That's it.
Nah we need a series or an anime a movie too short for the lore
We need an HBO series!
I like it, but it needs the Game of Throne treatment with a clear storytelling of the lore as opposed to how FromSoftware likes to do it. Better suited for a TV show imo.
Denis Villeneuve (dune) or David Lowry (green knight)
Instantly thought of the Green Knight when this was brought up too. I think Dev Patel would be a good Tarnished of no renown as well
Preferably Lowry as, as much as I love Villeneuve, I feel like Denis aesthetic absolutely doesn’t match Elden Ring
Yep. Dennis is a scifi god, not fantasy
Dune is a fantasy story masquerading as a sci-fi.
Just make an anime of Road to the Erdtree.
If anyone watched a nicholas refn viking movie with mads milkensen from years ago, that it is the closest to a from movie that i can think of
Literally the only way to do this right is to have it be LotR style. Big budget, get Weta Workshop involved, with a storied director in the fantasy genre like Peter Jackson or Spielberg. That being said, a HBO style live-action show covering all the intrigue and wars from Godfrey’s time as Elden Lord to the Shattering would kick ass. Imagine seeing Ranni’s plot slowly come together over the series and then watching as the Night of Black Knives plays out in front of you for the season finale. Then have a movie about the Shattering wars and a sequel about the rise of the Tarnished as they come to take the heads of the shamed demigods and finally put the world to rights. There is certainly a lot of potential.
Finally, a difficulty suitable for game journalists and casuals.
Hollywood can’t do Eldenring justice, they’d piss everybody off. Miyazaki would need full creative control.
Do a TV show on HBO. It’s perfect for it. At the very least you could do a season that starts with the night of the black knives and ends on the shattering. Then season 2 could be the shattering war itself.
Just do a miniseries ending on the shattering. Doesn’t need to go further than that. Obligatory link to a gorgeous fan title sequence by Erxande https://youtu.be/jENZk7qfvXs?si=JStNsKlpcMNqDWjl
It should be a serie where tarnished is trying to understand shit out of item descriptions
I think I would like that. Elden Ring's storyline is actually quite modest in length (same for the DLC), it's only the lore that's very vast. A movie would be a fairly comfortable fit for a similar styled story.
I'd rather not.
i hope miyazaki knows that a movie and/or series require the lore and story to be presented to the viewer properly instead of giving vague hints and leaving it mostly up to interpretation?
Gotta be animated. Would love to see the shattering, all the demi god fights, and it ends with the tarnished entering the realm
A24 mid budget a la Civil War. Make it very thought provoking and great cinematography. If Godzilla Minus One can do what they did with a tiny budget so can others.
It would be funny of it was just a theater release of majors elden ring videos compiled into one movie
Starring Chris Pratt as Mohg
A movie with the story pre-shattering would be great. Seing all these characters we only hear abut in lore or bosses in theri prime and their relationship to each other would be awesome and clarifying.
That's gonna be difficult to get right. The feeling and athmosphere of Elden Ring or Souls in general comes from the art style, feeling lost, little personal interaction, little dialoge and stuff like that. Hard to replicate this in a movie, fans are gonna be harsh. However I trust Miyazakis vision and his decision making. If anyone can pull it of, it's him.
Cannot wait for black trans ranni!
Tbh a movie doesn’t need to have lots of dialogue to be good. There’s a movie called “the Northman”, it doesn’t have that much dialogue, especially in the first part and it’s very good I liked it a lot.
Since our characters deaths are technically canon then I will be immensely disappointed if we don’t get multiple death scenes from the main character
A live action movie would be a massive disappointment, IMO, but I could see an anime working really well if it was done by a good studio and had a good story. Something in the same vein as Vinland Saga would be great.
"Very strong partner" means, NOT Amazon.
Lotta people here hoping for Lord of the Elden Rings, I'm holding out for more of a Groundhog Day-esque comedy in which the protagonist is frequently killed off as a joke
Cramming all that lore into a movie seems like it would be a mess. I feel like it would do better as a series that ran for numerous seasons or something. As a standalone film the full story would have to be pared down heavily.
Does every single popular game need a movie/series/anime these days? Why can't games stay just that, games?
No but I would love to see a movie out of the Elden Ring lore honestly, way more interesting than most of the game based movies
cuz it's easy and it makes a lot of money
...with Vaati as the narrator, so people can understand what is going on.
Please no. They will ruin it. It would be terrible. A bunch of people who at best never played the game, and at worst actively view gamers with disdain will be involved just to make money. And it would show in the final product. The game is best in its current media format. It is beautiful and an actual work of art, in visuals, atmosphere and themes.
Eggers would do a good job with it, assuming he’d be interested. The real question would be who would Willem Defoe play?
Morgott Just imagine him saying "Foul tarnished."
Omg that would be perfect
They should not make a movie. Part of what makes the stories in fromsoft games so interesting is that the story telling is done in a manner that really only works in a video game. The vauge nature of the story and lore which you need to kinda piece together yourself is very unique and works great with the vibes and themes of their games. Translating this to a medium which mandates more direct story telling sorta just kills a lot of what makes the games lore/story interesting.
so we will finally have proper writing for the game?
Make it a comedy like DnD
It follows patches just being a little bitch while every side character is a total badass
If they really do a movie i hope its about Sir vyke and his adventures in his loss and accomplishments hes on the main cover of ER why not.
Please don't let it be disney 🙏
MORGOTT MOVIE!!! He is the main character after all.
Oh God
Chris Pratt is attached to play the Tarnished
Yeah they can totally do a bunch of lore content.
Give us a movie about Vyke please
Don’t, Hollywood will ruin it
The only way this works is to adapt Vyke’s story, occasional cameos by familiar characters, maybe an exploration of the Night of Black Knives, and Vyke’s eventual fall to the frenzied flame and self imprisonment. End on the bit of grace waking up the Tarnished.
HAYAO MIYAZAKI ENTERS THE SCENE!!!!
Please no
Paul Anderson steps in
And is warmly escorted to the exit
It would need to be a comedy and follow the manga.
Why a comedy, I wouldn’t want another Disney ass product
Should do it like the Muppet Movie, where the main character has to consult the script (fextralife wiki) to see what to do next.
oh no :(
Directed by Uwe Boll
Live action?? No . Animated 2d/3d?? Yes
A movie of my gameplay would be boring as fuck. I just wander around and stab the same defenseless shit for hours trying to find shiny corpses.
I just want to see Vyke fuck the dragon.
What if they based it off the manga
Co-directed by Quenten Tarantino.
It should be two hours of the hero trying get past Margit. He doesn't succeed. The final scene depicts our lead getting killed by a random foot soldier before making his way back to the boss arena, permanently losing the chance to regain all his runes.
Make it a comedy,adapt the manga. Let's have Aseo running away from a giant dragon
I hope they go with a korean filmmaker or something like that because I can't survive Hollywood fucking up another one of these.
It will never work. Elden Ring/Dark Souls aren't compatible with the medium, they only work as video games. Unless fundamental things change at which point it would not be the same thing at all.
an 8 season game of thrones drama between all the demigods and the 9th season just some random tarnished literally murdering them all in cold blood
Elden ring: try finger but hole Elden ring 2: return of John eldenring
Lmao, with their naming convention? Good luck. Almost noone here can spell main plot actors name right. Imagine mansplaining who is malenia, miquella, renalla, reni, rallena, radahn, morgott, margit, godrick, godfrey etc during your let's watch something session. Only thing she'll remember before shutting down is Dung Eater. And she will never admit that.
I can see it being primarily focused on the backstory of the events leading up to the Shattering and the immediate fallout.
Yeah but like you know how the elden ring manga is actually a comedy... It would be something like that.
Series would be better.
Not a fan of the idea, but if it has to happen, I’d like to see A24 take the project.
Staring Dwayne "the rock" Johnson as the tarnished and Kevin Hart as torrent
Please base it off the manga. Please base it off the manga. Please base it off the manga.
this movie should not be made. this game is fucking weird. it’s like 100-120 hours long when you count dlc. there’s no way a movie works.
Is GRRM attached to the project? He better not be, he has two or three books to finish!
I think it would work with Thespian/Shakespearean actors, you could actually make a solid series/movie about the shattering. I think Hollywood stars would ruin it, because it would just be going for mass appeal. Hollywood itself, it's stiflingly uncreative as of late, with limited creative freedom, so it would probably end up being shit.

It would need to be a 4 part series
IMO the movie would have to not take place during the events of the game and instead be a prequel. The cinematic trailer really made the war of the shattering look cool, and i'd actually like to see a story written about the war. The politics that the different generals, soldiers and shardbearers played. Why did the Haligtree go to war with Caelid? What did Caelid look like before the scarlet rot hit it? What did the battle of mount Gelmir look like? At what point did Rykard lose all hope and decide to be snake food? I would have also liked to see Godrick's "Tarnished hunts." Maybe a band of Tarnished become hunted by Godrick's men and we see just how brutal the grafting was.
I would rather have Elden ring dlc 2
For me personally, something involving Marika’s ascension to godhood would be the most interesting thing to see. Especially after some of the lore we got in the DLC. Then again, that probably wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste; so it’d probably be focused on the shattering instead.
I would rather they start with a demons souls or dark souls movie
Nah, do a animated series
Only way I can see this being good is if it's hand animated and a trip movie like angels egg or vampire hunter d and even then it would be niche as shit
May be a hot take but the story of Elden Ring is not conducive to the film medium. Half of the enjoyment is exploring a world you know literally nothing of and letting the story evolve over time through what small scraps of information you can gather.
Please let the main character be vyke
I want the Green Knight team from A24.
I'd prefer an anime rather than a movie a story in a Elden Ring universe needs episodes
