for the world of Elden Ring while the game’s leading director, Hidetaka Miyazaki of FromSoftware, devised the in-game main narrative, although Martin had been given extensive creative freedom in his task.

Elden Ring is also set to continue Garland’s prominent relationship with A24, who distributed Ex Machina, Men, Civil War, and Warfare in the USA (Entertainment Film Distributors had been the UK distributors for the former three). Timing with this, if Elden Ring makes it deeper into production, it is likely to be developed at a higher budget projection than any other film in A24 or Garland’s previous repertoire. In recent years, adaptations of video games have been more common as box office successes as seen by Minecraft, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Sonic The Hedgehog. While Elden Ring is a darker fantasy action RPG, it has sold 30 million units worldwide, suggesting there is a sizable audience for a film take, should it eventually see the light of release.
