No actress could do my perfect beautiful wife Melina justice
Rollslop movie will be garbage just like the game
Who gives a fuck
>thought it was a joke>they're actually making a movieGod what happened to From
why are they adapting the From game with the worst story
>>219321427How is that even going to work? There's simultaiously too much to adapt and not enough story
>>219322477Id imagine (hope) something like green knight.
>>219321427>the clip was obviously AI at the end so now we're posting stills from that clip in order to play pretendadding garland to the mix was clever engagement bait though
>>219322392They got money
>>219321666>>219322392>>219322430>beg for an adaption for years in "cast it" threads>cry when you get one
>>219322545>stills from that clipIt's just some random field in England
>>219321427How are they gonna make a film about a game that barely has a plot in it? Elden Ring is terribly written garbage.
>>219322430its the only From game with a story.
>>219321427>woooah is that a... ruin?? this has such elden ring vibesI hate zoomers so fucking much
>>219322545https://deadline.com/2025/05/elden-ring-alex-garland-warfare-kit-connor-the-dish-1236412868/Garland is really making an Elder Ring movie
I hate video game movies so much
>>219322652I think you meant to say>this gives elden ring
>>219322637Good one. The plot is non-existent and barely coherent and they didn't bother even finishing it in the base game.
>Sydney Sweeney as Marika>Idris Elba as Radagon>Timmy Chalomet as the Tarnished>Zendaya as Melinakino
>>219322545https://www.tiktok.com/@throxtv/video/7624889105347923222It’s real
>>219323002>IT'S REAL BRO>links a tik tok videouh huh. I'll believe it when I'm sitting in the kinoplex watching it, pal
>>219322652Its literally identical to the first broken church with Kale you see in the game you fucking retard
>>219322652you can see the Marika statue you fucking retard
I sure hope they turn my wife Rya into an empowered girlboss bitch! Nice girls make modern women feel angry or something after all
>Dark Souls will never get an adaptation Dark Soulschads won
>>219321427No one cares.
>>219322637the only fromsoft game with a clear coherent story is Sekiro, all the other ones are made up by youtubers
>>219322392>tfw you will live to see a Berserk live action movie
>>219322392>>219322574Neither From nor Bamco had any intention of making a movie based on any of their shit. Alex Garland has been a Dark Souls turboautist for like a decade or more and approached them with a desire to make a movie out of ER, and brought dozens of pages of shit with him to pitch it, and they were like "yeah fuck it"
>>219322589>/tv/ is one person
>>219322637Literally less of a story than even Bloodborne you sperg and like the other anon said, what even is Sekiro
Sam Hyde was right about Dark Souls lore
>>219324257Bloodborne has a lot laid out for the player. It's not quite sekiro tier but it has all the major players tied together for the most part with a fairly clear timeline of events. Sure there's some shrug your shoulders moments but it's still a very easy to digest story.
Every redhead like Malenia and Millicent will be played by an ethnic woman, and we all know why
>>219322652Fucking idiot kek
>videogame without a story gets a film adaptationOh boy, I can't wait!Garland is a kinosseur to be fair, so this might be good
>>219321427I played Dark Souls 1, 3 and Elden Ring and I have literally no fucking idea what the lore is, what the story is and I have no interest in any of it because I'm sure it's retardedI'm interested in this movie because out of all the games Alex Garland could've adapted he chose this, it's probably going to be artsy fartsy shit that troons and autists will 100% hate
>>219322511It's going to be Green Knight but with a silent protagonist and even more slow
I have no idea why the first FromSoft property to be adapted will be ER when Sekiro and Bloodborne are right there. Even Dark Souls ought to be easier to adapt, the ER world is a clusterfuck. Still, if anyone can fashion this into a watchable film it's Garland, I'm genuinely interested to see where he goes with it.
>>219321427has this dude ever made an effects heavy film? this is a great way to ruin your career
>>219324765The simple explanation is that it's probably just because Garland personally got fixated on Elden Ring and wanted to try to make a movie out of it and managed to talk the right people into it. And not because anyone did a logical review of souls games and decided ER was the most fit for a film adaptation.
zanzibart...
>>219324645Must be nice to turn your brain entirely off like that. Fromsoft games are extremely base level and not in the least bit complicated story-wise so it’s kind of impressive to be able to gleam absolutely nothing having played through them in their entirety.
>>219324663Kino. And with some unbelievably elaborate boss fight scene somewhere
Which ending will they choose? I'm hoping for chaos to take the world
>>219325842This was the first ending I chose when the game was still new, I wasn’t expecting what would happen and seeing the Erdtree all fucked up and retarded looking at the end of the cutscene made me laugh my ass off for some reason, I don’t even really know why but I still find it very funny.
>>219325505>ZANZIBART FORGIVE MEEE
>>219325777The “boss fight” sequences are what I’m the most worried about. I feel like to capture the essence of the source material they should be pretty dry, grueling in a way, few cutaways, sluggish almost, like an insurmountable obstacle that’s overcome against all odds but I fear they’re going to end up being highly stylized, overly choreographed, flashy, jittery, and “super cool and epic”Time will tell
>>219325842>the communist endingnah, i'd rather have poo-poo-platter man's ending
>>219326198If garland is doing it its possible he doesn't ruin it. Hes good at slow stuff
>GarlandOh no.
>>219324347my god it sounds like there's actually a chance he might have a workable idea.
>>219326198the most likely outcome is a movie at least half the fanbase hates BECAUSE it has a proper story, characters and themes instead of "boss fights".
>guaranteed characters to be featured
>>219327018Jenna Ortega come on down!
>>219321427if this movie aint two hours of radahn pounding bussy then i shan't watch
>>219326404At the very least, it's going to look and sound excellent. It might be junk script wise, depending on which Garland shows up, but he can do atmosphere and aesthetics.
Cast them
>>219322545>adding garland to the mixHe was first reported as being tapped to write and direct an Elden Ring adaptation in mid 2025
>>219324814
>>219327579>the script might be impossible for 4chan to understand scriptwise, like MEN ftfythe chances are it will do something weird like use the game as a metaphor for gender fluidity. I'll probably love it and be the only real person posting in obviously astroturfed threads..
>>219327604>RanniCailee Spaeny? He likes her, he cast her in Devs and Civil War. He also always seems to fit Sonoya Mizuno in there somewhere, she's not a great actress but he seems enamored with her.
>>219327639>this movie cost $50 million>One Battle After Another cost $135-170 million
>>219327739
>>219327739Cailee has that elfin look that fits right into a fantasy setting, she should have been cast in something like this ages ago.
>>219327604I feel really good about not know who the fuck any of these "characters" are.
>>219327961Why?
>>219327789Most of the budget went to the cast like DiCaprio and Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro
I've never played soulsborne stuff, do they even have stories? All of the games seem like wandering around in some post-apocalyptic world wanking at all the cool lore.
>>219328453To be fair we haven't seen a script yet, it's possible the movie is going to be 3 hours of people alternately fighting and then saying completely inscrutable shit to each other
>>219327791Those aren't official though
>>219328453>do they even have stories?They kind of do but not really, japs are incapable of being competent storytellers so most of the "story" is hidden in lore texts and NPCs saying random shit, it's up to tranny autistic youtubers to make video essays explaining it
>>219328613>japs are incapable of being competent storytellersdumbest shit said on this site.
>>219327961They are characters in Elden Ring, the topic of this thread.
>>219328613No, that's because that's Miyazaki's personal sensibilities toward video game stories, he prefers them to be indirect and fragmented rather than giving the whole picture. The idea that no Japanese game has a directly told plot is retarded.You also come off like a secondary who doesn't actually play the games he complains about.
>>219328453They do.
>>219328678It's true, tho>>219328769>The idea that no Japanese game has a directly told plot is retardedNever said this, I said they're not good storytellers
>>219321427Who will play Miquella?
>>219327961>I don't know this piece of media and thus are unfamiliar with characters from it>Go me for some reason
>>219328862Cailee Spaeny crossdressing again?
>>219328829If it were true you could back up your claims.
>>219326484To be fair, such a large portion of Souls fans are so rabidly autistic that there is literally no way you could possibly please everyone at once. It’s just not realistic
>>219329212Literally every tranime, game, movie, manga, book they've ever madeIt's all slop with no real artistic soul behind it, their reasoning for things doesn't go beyond "it looks cool" so you end up with nonsensical garbage that only retards think is deepOnly westerners (aka whites) are capable of being artistic and creative because westerners are able to use abstract thinking and logical reasoningJaps literally don't know what debating is, that alone will reflect heavily on the "art" they make
>>219327789>Actors budgets>PTA being autistic about not using CGI to cut down on production times>insanely long production time because of Del Toro going off to be in that shitty Wes Anderson movie >PTA spending something like 5 years scouting locationsAt the end of the day, CGI is just cheaper when you scale it right and give the team enough time. The reason why these fucking shitty CGI slopfests cost so much money is because they hire literal armies of people to try and beat Brook's Law (they won't) by giving them 60 days to do post-production on a two and a half hour film with a few hundred effects. All that produces is a shitty looking film, and truly insane cash burn. Iron Man cost fuckin' nothing compared to these piles of shit because Favreau didn't have the Mouse breathing down his neck to get the movie done in less than 90 days.
>>219329654I need you to read HnK and shut up. The depth of the Buddhist perspective reflected in that is one of the reasons why it's so lauded despite the art style being so simple. Sure, the Normies have no idea that they are reading some esoteric Buddhist shit that would cause monks to argue with one another, but it's still there in the text.
>>219322652this board is filled to the brim with annoying low iq faggots
>>219329654>Only westerners (aka whites) are capable of being artistic and creativeSo why don't they? Why are they reduced to adapting Japanese art?

>>219330616>>219330680It's a movie for retarded children so it doesn't count, also heavily westernised

>>219330815All shit.
>>219330858Also it's just one and your original post implied westerners are adapting japanese media in mass which is not true, and when it is it's surface level aesthetics like Sonic and Mario, the stories are 100% written from a westerner POV and when they straight up actually adapt it you get Netflix's One Piece which is the most unwatchable cringe shit imaginable
>>219330914I didn't expect such a well-crafted response! you have bamboozled me!
>>219330960This thread is about an Elden Ring adaption, retard. That's why I said it.>Netflix's One Piece which is the most unwatchable cringe shit imaginableWhy does a beloved Japanese media franchise become unwatchable cringe when white men are at the helm?

>>219321427Why? Everything that makes the game worthwhile is exclusive to the video game format. You take that out and you're left with nothing. No one, and I mean NO ONE gives a fuck about how zanzibart rebelled against marika and marico held the line against Lothian from the north. No one gives a fuck if you can't play it.
You're not funny.
>>219331122Pure KINO

Fuck Cailee Spaeny
>>219331361I have a feeling he didn't actually read the replies and thought he was replying about the Dark Souls games, but can't backtrack now.
>>219331826If they were retarded you could counter them, but instead you have to resort to calling everything you see a tranny.
>>219322392videogames are the new zombiesexecs saw how people liked zombie stuff and suddenly we had a decade of zombie this and zombie that until it became it's own little subgenre that everyone got tired of, happened with superheroes toothey think they can do the same with videogames now, especially since videogames are like a 180-300 billion dollar a year industry and film is a 90 billion dollar industry and they want to tap that marketthe suits think they have a winning formula AGAIN and they will beat it into the ground AGAIN
The bitter truth is that Dark Souls completely and utterly mogs Elden Ring in terms of storytelling, themes and narrative.

>>219322637Dark Souls 2 has much more of a story that Elden Riing.
>>219325842The erdtree was a mistake, burn it down
How to make the movie good:1) Focus on the demigods: make it a mini-GoT type thing. The interactions, the relationships, the sibling rivalry.2) The driving trio of the movie, should be the tarnished, Melina, and Ranni. Present restoring the golden order as the one option/ending, and Ranni's moonquest as the other.3) Ignore all the dogshit filler sidelore: dungeater SCRAPPED, goldmask TRASHED, cult of the dead SHIT. Old gods, frenzy flame. Only mention it in passing. LOTR style, keep it tight.
Echo Night movie would've been kino

>>219324257>>219324465It's not that ER doesn't have a story, but only Sekiro and Bloodborne has progressing story. There are things happening in it. Thing about ER and Dark Souls is that the story already happened. You character is like white blood cell that came to completely sweep away thousands of years of stagnation. There are tons of lore, but just like to your character, it doesn't matter at all.
>>219334853i wouldn't let my IP be TARNISHED
>>219334668>mini-GoT>leaving out the dungeater, the ideal character for a short horror arc
>>219324765>when Sekiro and Bloodborne are right thereThe answer regarding Sekiro is the same as to why it never got a sequel, even though it is 10/10 GOTY - it was not that popular. Only 29% of players defeated the first boss.

>>219333330you are the only non retard in all the reply chains from this post >>219322637crazy that it took 6(SIX) hours for someone to bring it up
>>219335463>>Retards. You're gonna cover the entire bloated lore of this game in 120 minutes?No one said this. YOU said this.
>>219335463>You have a clean and comprehensible core in the main cast.Do you?I would say the core story is pretty dull. It needs support.
>>219334893>>219334817¡LOFF! is a low-energy kind of guy>Do you really carry all those L's in your pockets?>That's right, I give 'em out to the tarnished. I have my baby marika statue, my prayer books, and my 3 fingers heirloom. Slow and retarded, that's what that means.
You have to understand that Elden Shart was considered a shit game internally. Miyazaki just before release apologized if people didn't like the game. When it released, you could tell why:>unfinished quests that had to be patched later>shitty AAA mechanics like crafting that were just bloat>the same Ubisoft-style generic Open World>cut content and nonsensical lore that to this day cannot be managed even by the most fanatic loretardsSo it was an absolute surprise by both From and Bamco that it was such a success. This is why the expansion/DLC and any extra content arrived so late. They NEVER expected it to be such a success. It's the same with the movie. It comes after so many years because they never planned for anything.Which is why i wonder what """"story"""" this shitty movie will have when there's literally no story in Elden Shart. It's all just a mix of retarded "lore bits" that survived thousand retcons, bad translations and GRRM drunken ramblings.
>>219334853>why would you refuse?Because Westgroids can unironically cause massive damage to your IP.
>>219335710>nonsensical lore that to this day cannot be managed even by the most fanatic loretardsFunniest shit you can do when some lorefag starts seething is to ask them 'What is Elden Ring?'
>>219335463>So you hate pancakes?
>>219335710>the same Ubisoft-style generic Open WorldYou can see this in the fact that they had to completely overhaul damage system for their DLC because players would just steamroll absolutely everything they put out.
>>219335463No, I would like a fantasy film at a crisp 90 minutes to 100 minutes focused mainly on dark atmosphere and moody action, that does not remotely attempt to adapt the entirety of Elden Ring but instead delivers a clean smaller slice of it with some particular character on a specific, limited journey in an area of the Lands Between, whether a Tarnished or just some wandering warrior, that may feature some appearances from major Elden Ring figures if it's vital to the story, but not simply for the sake of it, and can climax with a version of a From Software boss battle.
>>219335463>>219336029I just want a shorter film (60 - 80 min) of a guy on a lifelong quest to kill Margit out of revenge, only for it to be a groundhog day situation where he employs multiple strategies. When he finally wins, to his horror, he discovers the rest of the world is FUBAR and Margit is only the beginning.
