Disney’s latest live-action remake, Lilo & Stitch, is a huge box-office hit, grossing hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide in a matter of days. But the movie has only gotten so-so reviews from critics and some audiences — and that follows Disney’s Snow White, which bombed at the box office and got even worse reviews from critics. That follows Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, which followed a similar pattern, grossing a fraction of what the first live-action Lion King earned in theaters.Why does this keep happening? That’s the subject of our latest Disney video, which looks at all these recent Disney live-action remakes to identify issues that keep repeating throughout all of them. We’ll also discuss the difference between remake and adaptation , and explore what Disney could do to make these movies better moving forward.Watch our full breakdown of Disney’s live-action remake problem below:READ MORE: The Best Disney+ Movies You Haven’t SeenIf you liked that video on the problems we keep having with Disney’s live-action remakes, check out more of our videos below, including one on why Disney can’t let go of their past, one on the worst Disney sequels ever, and the one huge difference between Disney villains and Pixar villains.

The video game-to-Hollywood pipeline is prepping for a doozy. A24 announced Elden Ring is the latest hit game slated to get a live-action adaptation, with Ex Machina and Civil War’s Alex Garland signed on to direct. What exactly the result will be is anyone’s guess, and fans aren’t quite sure whether to praise the sun or get ready for a flop.Suggested ReadingThe Most Sought After Elden Ring Sword Has A Storied History Share SubtitlesOffEnglishview videoSuggested ReadingThe Most Sought After Elden Ring Sword Has A Storied History Share SubtitlesOffEnglishThe 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. But while some game movies have recently hit big at the box office, like Sonic, Mario, and Minecraft, others aimed at more mature audiences—like Borderlands—have been epic failures. The Elden Ring project doesn’t have a tentative release date yet and about the only other thing we know so far is that the production team includes some combination of: Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, Vince Gerardis, and George R. R. Martin. That last name is important not just because he’s the author behind the Game of Thrones, but also because he collaborated with FromSoftware on Elden Ring’s story and world building. Precisely how much he was involved remains up for debate. Martin seems happy to involve himself in any creative endeavor that will delay him from finally finishing the last two books in his Song of Fire and Ice fantasy series, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. Elden Ring fans, a famously chill bunch, aren’t sure how to feel about the whole thing. 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, and a bunch of 28 Days Later spin-offs. How would his horror chops influence Elden Ring on the big screen? Given it’s an A24 production, there’s a good chance Garland and company will have a lot of latitude with the mood of an Elden Ring movie and how it’s shot, with more artistic license than a conventional game adaptation aimed at a mass audience might be offered. And of course there’s whatever role publisher Bandai Namco will play in all of this, as well as FromSoftware itself. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki has been integral to the studio’s unique brand of storytelling, including Elden Ring, but has no confirmed role in the adaptation at the moment.You should actually watch an interview Garland did with Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann if you want to get a good sense of how he thinks about storytelling in games and movies. I can imagine a very stoic, near wordless script that focuses an Elden Ring movie primarily on the mythology and horror of The Lands Between, which is in some ways comparable to zombie Camelot. FromSoftware’s boss creature designs, extravagant and larger-than-life, seem like a challenging fit for a live-action production without a Disney-level budget for special effects. Then again, the team on Godzilla Minus One proved you don’t need tons of money to make an incredible-looking monster movie. I wonder if Guillermo del Toro was offered a shot at Elden Ring and passed. It certainly seems more up his alley than Garland’s. . #liveaction #elden #ring #movie #coming

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.
