Alex Garland is making an Elden Ring movie for A24?

Garland’s a big fan of the game.

“It's Malenia who's the tough one”, Garland explained. “I'm now on my seventh playthrough of that game. I've leveled up, I've got lots of juice, and a cool sword, and stuff like that, and I just throw myself at them again, and again, and again, and again.” “That was the technique I learned with Dark Souls," he continued. “It's not that you get better, it's more like monkeys and typewriters. You just keep doing it, and eventually, one day they're dead.”

“Radahn's really easy”, stated Garland. “I thought Radahn was quite easy, because as long as you sort of activated the people who can assist you in that fight, they get on with fighting him, and they take off whatever it is, half his energy, and you finish him off. It's all about activating those little summon signs dotted around.”

I have no clue how you even begin to adapt that story for a movie. I’d say go with the more contained story from the DLC but that ending would definitely be considered “woke”

Garland also loves the first last of us. I don’t know if he likes the second one. That isn’t an option for him to make now because of the series. But dude is a gamer.
