Elden Ring live action movie director Alex Garland previously said he was "on NG+6" and loves Shadow of the Erdtree: "Don't even want to think about the hours I've clocked up. Can't seem to stop playing"

Seems like the Elden Ring movie is in good hands

The live-action Elden Ring movie adaptation has finally been officially announced after literal years of rumors and speculation, which means it's time for longtime FromSoftware fans to worry, will it be any good? We won't know the answer to that until it comes out, but with Civil War and Warfare director Alex Garland at the helm, there's reason to be optimistic.

I don't only say that because of Garland's pedigree in the film industry, but also because of recently uncovered comments he made about Elden Ring prior to the announcement of the movie adaptation. Garland's attachment to the project has been rumored for a while now, but now that he's officially directing the thing, there's a lot of increased attention toward his social media activity, and thankfully, he seems like a legit FromSoft sicko.

"Ok I was worried about the movie slightly, but now? Holy shit he’s one of us boys, this movie is gonna be fucking peak," says PattilloParker.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
