I kind of hate Elden Ring. I’ve played plenty of these games, but I’ve died easily like 2 or 3 times more here. And, more often than ever, I don’t know what to do next, which is easily compensated with another couple of deaths. Nah, I will never watch this.
And it isn’t that i dont end up liking the media they pull the material from. Its that they just start shoveling these movies out and it feels like there’s no actual “love” put into the process, its just trying to make as much money as humanely possible.
Take any trending media in the public consciousness and make a movie based on it. Minecraft, mario, whatever blah blah blah. I’m sick of it all. Don’t disturb me I’ll be napping
Doing Edge of Tomorrow style Progression where one actor plays different classes and steadily progresses could be an option. Explore the world from a changing perspective.
Personally I’m keeping my expectations low on this one. Game adaption to movie seem to always go to shit. Though personally would love a movie about the Bloodborne universe. I imagine a horror mystery movie about it.
Alex Garland is a pretty good director. Ex Machina is one of my favourite films and Annihilation was a demonstration that he isn’t so tied down by the source media, but does capture the spiritual essence of a book adaptation, at least.
He’s a pretty proven writer and director and has written for video games before (DMC 2013). Elden Ring as a universe has a lot of interesting angles you could approach a story from. I think as an action souls game adaptation , it will be hard to avoid trying to please the two groups of people: one that wants a compelling narrative and another that just wants to see a big boss fight on screen.
