A24 has announced a live-action adaptation of the hit video game Elden Ring, directed by Alex Garland. The game has sold over 30 million copies, making it an attractive project for Hollywood. Despite the success of some game adaptations, like Sonic and Mario, many others fail, creating mixed anticipation among fans. The production will also involve writer George R. R. Martin, raising questions about his role in the film. Garland's background in horror raises further curiosity about the film's tone and direction.
The brutal but massively acclaimed 2022 action-RPG has sold over 30 million copies, making it a straightforward choice for Hollywood to take a shot at in terms of the financial upside.
Garland has been on a writing and directing blitz. Following his acclaimed sci-fi horror Ex Machina and his adaptation of the Annihilation books, he's recently put out the American political horror flick Civil War, this year's Iraq invasion movie Warfare.
