Elden Ring Is The Hipsters' Dream Video Game Film
Elden Ring was released in 2022 and became a smash hit. The game is based on a story by George R.R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones, and is an action RPG. Hidetaka Miyazaki directed it. From the game's official site: How could it come to this? Long ago, the Elden Ring brought prosperity to the Lands Between. But one day it was shattered. The shards, great runes of enormous power, fell into the hands of the demigods. And although the demigods fought for control, in the end, there was no victor. And so began an era without a Lord…Until, from across the Sea of Fog, a Tarnished of no renown arrives at the Lands Between. The Tarnished take their first steps into the world, knowing not what awaits them. Greetings, traveler, from beyond the fog. I am Melina. I offer you an accord. The Tarnished accepts Melina's request, and begins a journey to bring her to the base of the Erdtree. As they explore, the Lands Between become known to the Tarnished. And they gain power, shaping themselves in their own way. Throughout their journey, they cross paths with unlikely allies. Death has left its mark, once again. Rise with us, against the Erdtree. Listen, the Fingers speak. And fearsome foes that stand in their way. Well, a lowly Tarnished, playing as a Lord. I command thee kneel! So much power, in the hands of one Tarnished. Growing in strength, with every triumph. Who crossed the fog to the Lands Between. To stand before the Elden Ring. And become the Elden Lord. The Lands Between… are yours to discover.
I can't think of another studio and director that could get fans of Elden Ring more excited than this. This will be the biggest film A24 has ever attempted to release, and it better have a budget to match, or fans will revolt immediately. This will be an interesting project to watch.
