Hollywood is about to get TarnishedA film adaptation of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring is in the works, with George R.R. Martin on board as a producer. After rumours emerged earlier this month, FromSoftware has officially announced it is partnering with A24 to make a live-action film adaptation of Elden Ring. As announced in a press release, Alex Garland will write and direct the project. He’s best known for directing films like Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Civil War, but he’s also served as writer on several Danny Boyle films, specifically Sunshine, 28 Days Later, and its upcoming sequel 28 Years Later. Garland has worked on video games too, serving as a co-writer on 2010’s Enslaved: Odyssey To The West and a story supervisor on 2013’s DmC: Devil May Cry. George R.R. Martin, who contributed to the story of Elden Ring alongside the game’s director Hidetaka Miyazaki, is a producer on the film. He’s joined by Game Of Thrones producer Vince Gerardis, Peter Rice, and Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich from DNA Films. Interestingly, Miyazaki’s name isn’t mentioned, which suggests he’s not involved. Speaking to The Guardian last year, he expressed his interest in making a film adaptation of Elden Ring but said he doesn’t think he has the ‘knowledge or ability to produce something in a different medium’. Adapting Elden Ring’s dark fantasy world to live-action will certainly be a challenge, but the biggest task might be translating the game’s lore into a tight narrative, unless it opts to tell its own story within the same universe. More Trending Between Garland and Martin though, this is probably the most promising film based on a video game currently in development. Others in the works include a BioShock movie at Netflix, a new Street Fighter movie, a Death Stranding film, OutRun with Sydney Sweeney, along with countless more. There is no indication of when the Elden Ring film will be released, or when it will start shooting, so it will likely be a few years away yet. This announcement comes a week ahead of Elden Ring: Nightreign, a roguelike multiplayer spin-off which is set to launch on May 30 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Bandai Namco and A24 announce Elden Ring live-action movie, Alex Garland directing Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Neowin @LoneWolfSL · May 23, 2025 07:16 EDT FromSoftware's Elden Ring is coming to the big screen. The game's publisher, Bandai Namco Entertainment, and movie production company A24 have announced a partnership that will see the popular action game being adapted to live-action movie form. Alex Garland has been announced as the writer and director of the project. He has previously been involved with movies like Civil War, Annihilation, and Ex Machina, while also being the writer behind projects like Dredd and 28 Days Later. FromSoftware famously worked with A Song of Ice and Fire series author George R. R. Martin to build up its lore. The author is also attached to the movie now, this time as a producer alongside Vince Gerardis, Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Allon Reich. Winner of numerous Game of the Year Awards in 2022, Elden Ring turned out to be a massive success for the developer and publisher. Bandai Namco recently announced that the Souls-like RPG has sold over 30 million copies so far. Where the story will be set in the movie is a mystery. The game itself takes place following a cataclysmic chain of events, named The Shattering, that has effectively killed the world. The movie might take place before the event, during it, or even tell a story set in the same timeline as the game. In any case, it may be years before we hear about the movie project again. FromSoftware has been building upon Elden Ring since its launch, too. Last year, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion launched, taking players to an entirely different realm to tell another story in the dark fantasy universe. Soon, a spin-off title will launch out of the studio, too. Titled Elden Ring Nightreign, the cooperative multiplayer-focused title shakes up the gameplay loop and pacing entirely.

FromSoftware and A24 to produce Elden Ring adaptation Ex Machina writer and director Alex Garland to helm the film, George R. R. Martin on board as producer Image credit: FromSoftware News by Sophie McEvoy Staff Writer Published on May 23, 2025 FromSoftware has partnered with A24 to produce a film adaptation of Elden Ring. Ex Machina and Annihilation director Alex Garland has been signed on to direct. He's also known for writing 28 Days Later and Sunshine, in addition to the upcoming 28 Years Later and its sequel The Bone Temple. Author George R. R. Martin, who provided worldbuilding for Elden Ring, is on board to produce. Peter Rice and Vince Gerardis are also producing, alongside Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich from DNA Films. Last year, Martin teased a potential adaptation or TV series of the game. "Oh, and about those rumours you may have heard about a feature film or a television series based on Elden Ring… I have nothing to say," he wrote in a blog post. "Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumour?" FromSoftware's president Hidetaka Miyazaki also spoke about the potential adaptation during an interview with The Guardian. "I don't see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example," said Miyazaki. "But I don't think myself, or FromSoftware, have the knowledge or ability to produce something in a different medium. So that's where a very strong partner would come into play. "We'd have to build a lot of trust and agreement on whatever it is we're trying to achieve, but there's interest, for sure." Elden Ring isn't the only game adaptation in the works at A24, as it's also co-producing a Death Stranding movie with Kojima Productions. A Quiet Place: Day One's Michael Sarnoski is reportedly signed on to direct. #fromsoftware #a24 #produce #elden #ring

Elden Ring will soon be more than just a hit video game. On Thursday, Bandai Namco and A24 announced a live-action Elden Ring film directed by Alex Garland. Japanese developer FromSoftware released Elden Ring across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in 2022, while a version for the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be released this year. The action RPG became an instant hit, and puts you in the role of a Tarnished tasked with restoring the Elden Ring by defeating various challenging bosses throughout the Lands Between. The Elden Ring spinoff Nightreign is coming out on May 30th, 2025. Garland is a writer, director, and producer best known for films like Ex Machina, 28 Days Later, and Dredd. FromSoftware first hinted at the potential to expand Elden Ring “beyond the realm of games” in 2022. Last year, George R.R. Martin — the A Song of Ice and Fire creator who helped write the game — also said, “There is some talk about making a movie out of Elden Ring.” A publication called Nexus Point News first reported on the adaptation with A24 earlier this month, but pulled its original article and didn’t explain why. #elden #ring #getting #film #adaptation
