Alex Garland has officially signed on to direct a live-action film adaptation of Elden Ring, the acclaimed action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware.
The movie is being produced by A24 and Bandai Namco, with Garland also taking on scriptwriting duties.
Garland, known for his work on Ex Machina and Warfare, will bring the dark fantasy world of Elden Ring to the big screen, drawing from the game’s mythological lore created by George R. R. Martin. The production team includes Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Allon Reich from DNA, along with Martin and Vince Gerardis.
Released in 2022, Elden Ring became a global phenomenon, shipping over 30 million copies. The game received numerous accolades at The Game Awards, including Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, and Best Role-Playing Game. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and co-directed by Yui Tanimura, the game features an expansive dark fantasy world with haunting landscapes and immersive lore.
In addition to the upcoming film, the franchise continues to expand. A new co-op title, Elden Ring: Nightreign, launches May 30. Later this year, Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will release for Nintendo Switch 2, featuring all content from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, plus new customization options.
Fans of fantasy epics and the Soulsborne genre can expect a cinematic experience that mirrors the game’s rich storytelling and atmospheric world-building.
