This is per IGN, reporting on a wider story from The New Yorker about film studio A24, which is bankrolling Garland’s project. Said story makes it clear that “Let’s make an Elden Ring movie” was an idea that came pouring out of Garland’s brain, full stop: He apparently called up the company’s head of film, Noah Sacco, to rant at him about the game, before showing him its fantasy fighting in action to try to get a green light. (“The lush visuals and fantasy setting reminded Sacco of the Lord Of The Rings movies. He replied, ‘frick yeah.'”)
Garland then spent some not-inconsiderable amount of his own time writing a script for a movie nobody had actually asked him to make yet, which he then took to Japan to present to the developers at From Software. (He also apparently compiled another 40 pages of visual references to help make his pitch, apparently successfully, to From’s highly esteemed designer and president, Hidetaka Miyazaki.)
Could work...it's Alex Garland.

I just want to see Radahn riding around on a tiny arse horse.

If the hero doesn’t see a sign that says “try finger, but hole” is it even a true adaptation?

Pre-production has started. I still have no idea how they can coherently tell this story, but it’s encouraging to see the detail in the sets below.

Yeah, that’s a clunky arse sentence. Just say he spent a considerable amount of time writing a script no one asked him to write.
Maybe he was trying to increase his word count lol

He's basically walking the Shyamalan trajectory... came out swinging with a couple of hits, then followed it up with back to back bombs (Men and Civil War) that drained all the early momentum.

Rereading my post I think my "sentence" is retarded.
The word count angle is very prevalent on many sites these days.
I catch myself just reading headlines more and more.
