Are you looking forward to the next A24 masterpiece?
>>737320551So is this supposed to be a post-shattering, or pre-shattering story?
>>737320551>Cailee SpaenyShe's fat now.
>>737320638Most likely pre
>>737320551I don’t know who any of these people are since I usually don’t watch anything made after the early 2000s. I’m willing to give this a shot, but, are any of them black? Won’t watch it even a single one is. Elden Ring didn’t have any, and I would expect an accurate film version to stick to that.
>>737320551>Ruby Cruz Cute tomboy
>movie about FromSoft "lore"kek 90% of the story is going to be made up
>>737320551yes
>>737320551who's gonna play the john elden?
>>737320551Always the literal who actors.
>>737320551Its been funny watching A24's descent into slop
>>737320551why the fuck are they making an elden ring movie?
Movie adaptations of games always suck. Soulless realtranny trite that superficially references only the most basic of lore details or gameplay mechanics as a way of jangling keys infront of the "target audience". Hey, remember this location? Know this meme? Do you recognise this cool guy in cool armour making a cool pose? Remember when X character said *iconic phrase*?
>>737321139100% of the story is going to be made up, the events of elden ring never actually happened
I only know Pryce and WhishawWho the fuck is everyone else?
>>737320551don't recognize any names
>>737320551With Nick Offerman as...
here's your dark fantasy actor bro
>>737321263we cast actors from wish
>>737320551I liked Men, Annihilation and Dredd, so I have high hopes for this moviealso serafinowicz being in it is a nice nod to dark souls 2
>>737321302Let me solo her
>>737320836Still high tier face.Plus she can lose it in like 3 months if the role requires it.
>>737321226The nose wants influence in Japan, Hollywood is how they get it

>>737320836Good.
>>737320551THE LOATHSOME DUNG EATER
>>>/tv/>>>/trash/
>>737321339he's obviously not going to be ron swanson in the movie you donkey
>>737320836>She's fat nowOh no
>>737321089>>737320836Milena?
>>737321641Will they get nicocado to play him?
>>737321226allegedly because the writer/director was gushing about elden ring when he was playing it to one of the studio heads so they decided to make a movie
>>737320551how are they making this a movie?Elden Ring didnt have a story
>>737321902The guy from Parks and rec will read item descriptions for 2 hours
>>737320551I'm looking forward to watching react videos about how much it sucks
>>737320551I haven't watched a movie in over a decade
it's so funny when people pretend they're obtuse retards in an attempt to make a point
>>737321339>>737321302Nick Offerman as the token gay.
>>737320551Peter Serafinowicz as Patches
>nick offerman>offered a role in the movieKOJIMAAAAAAAA
>>737321668He's going to be Radahn. The will be a 15 minute gay sex scene and you will like it.
>>737320836>nowWhat do you mean "now"? When has Cailee ever not been chubby?
>>737322239I think he'll be rykardI have nothing to base this on, I just think he'd do a good human rykard with his weird voice
>>737321226>why are they making an adaptation of a game that sold 30 million copies
>>737321263I do, because I'm not retarded
Who will she play?
>>737321685No, they should get this guy to play him.
>>737320836This shot is rather misleading, Spaeny is chubby as usual but this shot's angle and lens is making her look bigger than she actually is, she doesn't look like that in any other shot from the show.
>>737320836>her tits didn't get fatpity
>>737322369>gay in one episode in a series adaptation of an infamously wokeslop game>he's the gay guy nowAt least call him reddit or something, this is just stupid
>>737320551>Cailee Spaneyoh fuck off
>>737322537There's retards that basically know nothing outside of video games and adaptations of video games so they don't recognize any show or film or actor.
>>737320551I dunno a single fuck among these.I have no hopes for faggy hipster A24 slop, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
>>737322469one of the merchants before they get ACKedor maybe rennala
>>737322601Of all the names there, that's the one you object to?
>>737322624that's because you're a plebeian idiot
>>737322537Tell that to Nick
>>737322615No shit, this entire thread is comprised of them
>>737321263unironically a good thingor would you like to see zendaya or chris pratt or tom hollandcailee is the biggest name here but even she is not an A lister
>>737322624>doesn't know Jonathan PryceHe's been in a million things
Not gonna lie, I can't decide if I would impregnate his bussy or let him impregnate my bussy, he's somehow both masculine and feminine at the same time.
Nothing more retarded than actually watching modern movies and/or series.
>>737322687What does that have to do with anything? Offerman himself isn't gay, nor was Ron Swanson gay. So why the constant talk of "gay sex scenes!" ?

>>737320551>emmai will now be watching
>>737322731what about posting on /v/
>>737322718you're talking to retarded brown zoomers, anon.
>>737322718
>>737322819>no THIS SUMMER
>>737320551Garland has worked with Cailee Spaeny, Sonoya Mizuno and Nick Offerman on several projects already, and Emma Laird was in 28 Years Later The Bone Temple, which he wrote. I don't recall any of the rest being in any of his works but there's plenty of good names there, so it's a decent cast for a video game adaptation.
>>737322784they betting on that chicken jockey moment, nothing else matters, only money
Pryce doesn't deserve to be in this garbage. He's too good for video game adaptations.
>>737322672Don't care shill.Won't be watching.>>737322718Not an actor I knew by name but apparently I watched a few shit he is in, skimming his IGN page.
What, no big name pop culture actors? But I thought you had to cast them.
Get pic and we will have a certified kino in our hands
>>737322819The only elden ring movie i would watch
>>737320551This is actually a good cast, from the names I recognize.
>>737322909He's one of those people who look exactly the same for 50 years, like Angela Lansbury
>>737321072>doesn’t want black people in it>but is fine with people with last names like liu, mizuno and cruzgotta love those chud double standards.
>>737321302Was there a crust buster boss that I missed?
>>737320551Fancast twitter accounts must be furious at no Zendaya, Henry Cavill, Tom Holland, Sydney Sweeney or Timothee Chalamet. I'm sure they had generated many AI videos of it.
>>737323070>Japanese video game has...Asians in it?
I don't even now wtf an elden ring movie would be about. Like, the events leading up to the shattering and the fall of everything afterwards?
>>737321302Probably as the voice of a monster in the film. Or a weirdo NPC.
>>737321139all stories are made up that's what makes them stories fucktard
>>737323159>person adventuring in the Lands Between That seems like an incredible easy story to make. Just concentrate on atmosphere and fantasy action more than plot.
>>737323045he's got a very distinct face
>>737321302That's Mohg right there.
>>737320551Who should play Miquella?
>>737323142was there a single asian in elden ring? no? then chuds are being hypocritical. they obviously just get a pass because of the alt right’s yellow fever.
>>737320551Garland makes great looking and sounding films, so at least we'll get that instead of just a horrible flat greenscreen fest. Civil War in the theater had incredible sound design.
>>737321302..the loathsome feces gorger, now seriously, I dont think they'll include the dung eater sadly, theyre too cowardly to engage in that whole fucked up cycle of defilement and poop play and all that.
>>737323142>cruz>asianPretty sure there's more black people in fromsoft games than latinos
>>737323242It's A24, that is impossible for them to do.There has to be a pseud, pretentious, le deep story.
>>737323312I can only assume the shabriri samurai guy was asian

>>737320551The fact that they aren’t just filling the cast with a-listers and b-listers makes me cautiously optimistic about this.
>>737323312>the alt right’s yellow fever
>>737323340Garland is not exactly shy about having gruesome or grotesque stuff in his films. Annihilation had some freaky shit in it, and the climax of Men had apparitions giving birth to grown men
>>737323412>There has to be a pseud, pretentious, le deep story.which makes it a perfect fit for a fromsoft game
>>737320836
>>737320551Happy for Peter Serafinowicz since he's been a long-time fan. I've almost entirely stopped holding out hope for modern movies though, vidya adaptations least of all. The production design, cinematography and VFX departments would have to pull out all the stops to not make it look cheap. I didn't particularly like Annihilation for precisely that reason.
>>737322195So he's Mogh?
>>737323361Ruby Cruz is not exactly out of the wilds of Peru
>>737320836>Puts on weight, still zero titsThe worst body type
>>737323323>Civil War in the theater had incredible sound design.but is a very forgetable movie. I watched it only once and will never watch it again.
>>737320551Celebrity culture is really irrelevant nowadays. I don't know a single one of those people. Meanwhile I know about random e-celeb faggots even though I don't watch them.
>>737320836Literary made for latino cock
>>737322239Hell yeah I'm actually excited he's gonna be in it. Always liked that dude. Bonus that he voiced Pate back in DS2
>>737323623Her tits will grow once you put a baby inside her.
>>737323412>It's A24, that is impossible for them to do.What the fuck are you talking about? A "slice of life journey through a dark land without much plot" is literally a close description of Civil War, Garland's previous film from A24. Warfare, his film from last year, also is just a small scale contained war film with no elaborate plot.What A24 released films have you actually seen to base this claim on?
>>737323761I hope so.
>>737323614ey ese, súbete a la parte de atrás de mi camioneta, un gringo te necesita en su película.
>>737323626ok
>>737323671>sees actors cast in film>starts mumbling about "celebrity culture"
>>737322864Fuck, shes so cute. I wish white girls like this dated latinos
I like how people itt are bitching about the actors being lesser known, would you prefer chris pratt and dwayne johnson? So many unbearable, annoying cunts on this website
>Everyone’s old English way of speaking means that they can’t quirkchungusify the dialogue
>>737323623>Puts on weightwhen did that happen? Spaeny was always short and chubby

>>737323934I imagine they don't even know what it is they supposedly want, they just think they're supposed to be negative and complain about everything. Consistency doesn't matter.
What part of the pre-shattering should they focus on?
>>737320551>CaileeNice
>>737323934Yes. A genuine adaptation would be mediocre and forgettable. A soulless celebrity stuffed adaptation would be an unforgettable atrocity.
>>737323671Maybe they were cast by the director because they suited the roles in the script, not because they are famous.
>another shitty game movie arc It's cyclical
>>737323323>Florida and Texas team up against the federal governmentThat movie was fucking dogshit my guy.
>>737323860But it's true. Hollywood is a shell of its former self. There will never be any actors as recognizable as Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Pierce Brosnan. Julia Roberts, etc again. Celebrities were used to advertise videogames back then. Now it's the other way around.
>>737323412Weird film focused on eerie atmosphere more than plot describes most of the films Garland has made.
>>737323826>what, "ok", I'm gonna punch your face in!
>>737324105>mediocre and forgettableSays who?
>>737324019Now do the cast from the film I melt with you.
>>737324132>my guyopinion safely discarded
>>737321902Elden ring had a ton of story and lore. Do you people take pride in being this unable to discern basic information while then turning around and parading how proud you are for being retarded? Are you all just constantly joking like a meme? Because I doubt it. I think you fundamentally do think this is true and that there is no story. No you don't need some retard gay ass nigger like Vaati. You just need basic fucking intelligence and a want to learn and understand the world and actions happening around you. Dark souls and elden ring have fantastic stories and motifs. Bloodborne especially too. Ds2 and 3 and cobbled together assets but still have a basic a b c through z understanding of events and plot wet in place. I swear you people take pride in being stupid. I actually wish people would kill people like you off, straight up. You're a nigger even if you're white BTW. Fucking npc with no inner thought the brings down everything around it to its pathetic level
>>737324132>I don't like the premise, therefore the sound design and cinematography were badAre you retarded?
>>737321089jew whore
>>737324141Yea but now we have Hasan Piker#winning
>>737324141that's why video game movies were so fucking bad in the past, at least some new adaptations have been decent
>>737324141>muh A-listers!Is this the only way you think a film should be cast? Just grab famous names?
>>737324214Holy BASED
>>737324132The military of Texas and California seceded and revolted, not the state governments, and Florida is not aligned with them, they broke off separately. Have you even seen the film?
>>737324307Ruby Cruz is not Jewish.
>>737321089that's a great melina
>>737320551>Bunch of unknowns.Fucking based. More budget for sets props and effects. Despite how dumb an idea this movie is I like it the more I hear about it
>>737324141what the hell are you even blabbering about? what does this have to do with casting people for an Elden Ring film?
>>737323712He actually requested to voice in DS2 because he was a huge fan of the first game. I think he'll be great
>>737322398I have a feeling Volcano Manor will be cut, just too much shit to go through.
>>737321089all of her facial expressions and emotions are "Huh?"I'd still fuck her but I can act better than this
>>737323796I have committed the mistake of watching EEAAO. That's where I am basing on.
>>737324345You really going to go on the internet and lie when EVERYONE knows Nollywood's mortal combat was a masterpeice?
>>737322637You might have a point, the Mizuno and Liu might me Rennala and Ranni.Hopefully Mizuno is Rennala, beautiful woman but not a good actress.
>>737320836i just coomed in my pants a little
>>737324513No...
>>737321089Holy qtieWe already are winning far more than most vidya adaptions
>>737322469nipple
>>737324575ermm advertiser-kun get down
>>737324513you could have rykard without including all of volcano manor, but I guess we have no idea what the story will be focused on anyway, whether it's about the gods/empyreans or just some random tarnished
>>737320551Cailee has that nice elfin look that would suit a fantasy film. I don't know if they're actually going to have characters like Melina or Ranni in here or it's going to just be a mostly standalone story just set in the Lands Between, but she'd be a good choice for either of those.
>>737324627Kek, dont you bring that juju in here. Delete that monstrosity of a picture before a HBO exec sees it.
>>737324552A film that is absolutely nothing remotely like Alex Garland's work. I don't know how you think movie studios work, but you're treating it like one director here and only release one kind of film.
>>737323914I wish you 3rdies would die in various ways already
>>737321089Melina>>737324757RanniI'm in love
>>737324132>post about visuals and audio>complain about some random plot point
>>737320836Pandering to the thirdie audience, please understand.
>>737324407fucking retardher mother is a kike
>>737324552>That's where I am basing on...why? Everything Everywhere All At Once was written and directed by the Daniels, whatever their surnames were, I don't recall, who are not working on Elden Ring. It says right there that Alex Garland is writing and directing. So what has EEAAO got to do with this?
>>737324019>Ben WhishawI saw him in Fargo Season 4 recently, he was pretty good with a deadpan depressive vibe that would fit well in the Elden Ring world.I've never seen Nick Offerman in anything where he wasn't comic relief, perhaps he'll play something like that failed sorcerer outside the academy.
>>737325035Whisaw does Paddington. Which makes him pretty much perfect for a From Software adaptation really, they like their soft British voices.
>>737320551So who is Queen Marika?
>>737324318Nepobaby faker
>>737321302The Loathsome Crusteater
>>737324796I think people on /v/ think of movie studios the way they do video game devs. So they think "Naughty Dog releases this kind of game, a movie studio must release this kind of movie".
>>737322814There a long line between "respect" and "going our of your way to defend and fight for". The former is purely personal. The latter is activism so it is safe to say that homosexuality is part of his ethos despite not being homosexual himself.
>>737324141>>737323671Did it occur to you that the film's casting could be based on getting the most suited actors for the part and not based around how famous they are in tabloid media/
>>737321302Gideon Ofnirman?
>>737325035He carried Devs well. Worst Asian actress was the protagonist and Offerman somewhat saved it. I knew her bf was a real one as hes playing DS2 when we meet him. High IQ show.
>>737325260his voice would fit if he had a bong accent
>>737325217none of this really justifies your fixation on one character he played in a single episode of a TV show, to my knowledge no other role he's had has been a gay character, including his most famous role
>>737322864Dipsy dance!
>>737325217yeah he's an actor, a notoriously homosexual professionIan mckellan is an actual faggot and it doesn't stop him being a good actor, I challenge you to find a single decent actor that doesn't defend the rights of gays
Cailee is relentlessly cute and I think all of Garlands work ranges from decent to great, so hoepfully this falls in the great half of his catalog.>>737325278>DevsAlso directed by Garland and had Cailee/Offerman in it, he really likes to re-use a lot of the same actors so you know you'll probably get good performances out of whatever characters they end up playing.
>>737321175>Always the literal who actors."Let's pay $500 million to hear Chris Pratt poorly fake an Italian accent"Hollywood sheep are mentally weak
>>737325324Did you not read my post? It's part of Nick Offerman's ethos as in he relays that to his characters, hence his use of defense of Ron (a character he plays) attending a gay wedding. >>737325360Ian McKellan does not go out of his way to respond to Twitter posts about homosexuality. You're missing the point of me pointing out the difference in ethos.
>>737325360The straighest man in Hollywood Tom Cruise.
>>737321685>>737321641>>737322483He already got castered
>>737325467>Ian McKellan does not go out of his way to respond to Twitter postsabout characters he plays*Got deleted when I typed it out for some reason
>>737325102why do you brownoid subhumans like plastic bimbos like this?
>>737325278>Worst Asian actressthat's Sonoya Mizuno, also in the cast list, he seems to like her a lot. She was in Ex Machina, and small roles in Annihilation and Civil War. Not a great actress but has a good look that can be made very striking on film. Her big issue in Devs was the bizarre American accent she put on, she has a dumb made up accent in House of the Dragon as well. But her actual accent is English, which I'm guessing she'll use here.
>>737325467If you used ian mckellan's likeness to attack homosexuals I guarantee you he would, the only reason he wouldn't is because he's ancient and I doubt he uses social media
>>737324796>>737325157that's exactly how it works most of the time
>>737325435Don't do that, dont give me hope.
>>737325467>Nick Offerman's ethos as in he relays that to his characters,Is it? Was it in Devs, or Civil War? The two works he's done with Garland who's directing this film?
>>737324214Based post
>>737325467>hence his use of defense of Ron (a character he plays)Or that's because the person he's replying to used a famous gif of Ron?
>>737325243>be based on getting the most suited actors for the part
>>737325629Since we're dealing with hypotheticals, what chances do you think Ian would respond to a post about Magneto hating gays for being evolutionary dead ends?
>>737325467he's replying to a tweet showing Ron Swanson throwing a rainbow flag in the trash, him pointing out Ron isn't homophobic is actually relevant
Which half of Elden Ring will this movie be based on?
>>737320836As if those Hollywood bitches can't be forced to drop a couple dozen pounds just because
>>737322239HATE PATE
>>737320551>brian butterfieldwonder if they'll just use him for his voice like when he was pate in ds2overall this will be hollywood slop "look gamers we use words you know!" bullshit
>Zanzibart: the movieKino
>>737322718For me it's Brazil.
>>737325782The middle half.
>>737325626I noticed after her all the famous Asian women over act 200%. Michelle Yeoh and Ali Wong are like that becuase the normal reserved personality just doesnt work well on screen.
>>737325712>>737325778That is besides the point. Ron, the character, exists in hyperreality. Nick Offerman entering into that is a reflection of his ethos as an actor. Ergo, Nick Offerman can be SEEN and be responded to as a "homosexual actor" without being homosexual himself. This makes the crust-posting valid as that is his willfull reputational attempt at displaying his ethos.
>>737320836Oh really?
>>737325567Why is a phone poster making fun of browns... you are the same poor wretches.

I don't want to say instrumental, but this board played a not-insignificant part in bringing dark souls to the PC and popularising it in the first place, it is sad how jaded and contrarian so many posters are, considering the casting, studio and director are all good choices for this, this has a serious chance of being good yet some of you choose to be salty little bitches anyway
>>737325717This is actually how most films are cast, anon. Maybe the extent of your film knowledge is blockbuster animated films like Mario.
>>737325467>Ian McKellan does not go out of his way to respond to Twitter posts about homosexuality.That's only because he's too much of a dinosaur to be on social media.
>>737325794>be forced to drop a couple dozenPlease no. Ozempic is wrecking actresses right now, they're in full skeltal mode.
>>737326079It's not a point of contrariansm or being jaded when anons in /v/ don't want video games to be adapted to film. It's a strict ludonarrative disconnect.
>>737325869>That is besides the point.No, I don't think it is.
>>737320836and still no tits lel

>>737326183>a strict ludonarrative disconnectthis doesn't mean anything
>>737326146But the pic you posted is of Ian himself. It's not Magneto or Gandalf. You're missing my point entirely. This is all a counterpoint to this anon's post by the way >>737322537

>Elden Ring>A24It’s not going to be good but combining those two names is guaranteed to print money so good for them.
AAHHHHHHHHHH..... rise now, ye tarnished, ye dead who yet live
>>737325869How is it besides the point? Someone posted an edit of his character Ron Swanson throwing a rainbow flag in the garbage, he replies to them saying Ron Swanson was best man at a gay wedding in that show and not a homophobe.
>>737325745as I said, probably zero because I doubt he uses social media, if it was brought to his attention though, he would certainly condemn it.
>>737326250>he never experienced a clear kinonarrative lvdonancepfff, everyone point at this fag and LAUGH
>>737326250But it does. It's the very thing videogames hinge on. You PLAYING the game is part of the overall ludonarrative of videogames. You WATCHING the game is not the same experience, unless you just want to talk about that videogame, it's not even comparable. Two completely different modes of interaction, two different forms of art being perceived. Hence, the film has to inevitably change, out of its nature, things you liked about the videogame to fit its medium.
>>737322819You should actually write movies
>>737326068Because they aren’t trying to make art they are making a product with the sole intention of cashing in on two extremely popular things (A24/Fromsoft).
>>737322819>>*rapid sequence of Jack Black fat rolling around frustrated bosses*
>>737320551I will simply not watch it

>>737322819I would honestly enjoy seeing it.
>>737320836I see the vision
>>737325102It'll be the same actor who's play Radagon. Hopefully Arnold Schwarzenegger or Hunter Schafer.
>>737326349Because Ron Swanson, the fictional character, does not exist in reality. You can post anything about the character, including shipping him into being gay despite the show not showing him as such. Now do you understand it? That's as concrete as an example as I can make it, relating it to shipping of all things. This is a counterargument to an anon claiming that >being gay in one popular series>you cannot perceive him as suchWhen I say THAT is the most immediate way to perceive actors, especially when they go out of their way to display their ethos as such.>>737326360Ian has distinctly said, I don't remember where, that as a consummate professional actor he takes his personal ethos out of the roles he plays. Same goes for Kevin Conroy when he plays Batman. You can extrapolate beyond that.
>>737326449Who is "they"? What the hell is cashing in on A24 supposed to mean? A24 are the production company making the film.
How bitter do you think Kojima is that all of these game movies are being made while he has to self-finance a Death Stranding anime?
>>737326270Do the Ashkinazim have a secret genetic breeding program going? How do they do it?
>>737326537>why is popular thing popularI don’t know, people love them and it’s apparently a selling point from what I hear from people discussing movies.
>>737326703>When I say THAT is the most immediate way to perceive actorsI will "perceive" him from his roles in Civil War and Devs, both by Alex Garland who is directing this, in both of which he played serious villains. Given they're going to be more relevant than a tweet of him snarking at someone for misusing a character he played in a comedy show.
>>737326776Kojima, as far as I can tell, wants to exist in the in-between of film and games. He will never make something like Revengeance the same way he will never want to do something like Miyamoto did with Mario.
>>737326658I hope the movie makes this a plot point.
>>737326858>filenameThis made my mind jump to the idea of a forest-gump style character just bumbling around the lands between during the shattering, and somehow being important in all of these events just coincidentally .
>>737323914The only one that looks good is the middle one, is it really that bad over el guason land?
>>737326858As far as I can tell, he has worn the reputation of the crustman well and with pride so your distinction to not include it is more or less personal arbitration
>>737326703>as a consummate professional actor he takes his personal ethos out of the roles he plays.That goes against the point you're trying to make you cocksucker, you're decrying a straight man for playing a gay character and ron swanson didn't reply to the guy on twitter the actor did, and he just pointed out that using a faggot-friendly character like ron to shit on gays is stupid
>>737326261>But the pic you posted is of Ian himself.You were talking about Ian, not his characters so I don't see the issue. He does talk about homosexuality a lot.
>>737322819Sadly this is probably better than what we're actually gonna get.
>>737326845Maybe people love them because they're more interested in publishing vaguely original and artistic movies rather than blockbuster marvelslop
>>737321302>>737321339Mega Cringe >>737320551>Jonathan PryceKino
>>737325567I don't know Snitching Sanchez, I'm glad you are able to somehow smell your fellow beaners in this shithole board.Alas, i'm afraid that Queen Marika™ is canonically a grotesque plastic blonde bimbo.Cope, seethe even....that's all you can do kek
>>737327048Both gays and mutants are disliked for a reason, very fitting.
>>737320551Garland is actually a big Dark Souls and Elden Ring fan, he's been talking about them for years. Dark Souls II was shown being played in the background by a character in Devs for instance. I imagine if he's writing as well as directing then he was part of getting this off the ground rather than just being hired for the project.And interestingly he talked directly about how a game like Dark Souls would be hard to adapt into a film because they're very rooted in being video games and being very abstract and loose plotwisehttps://www.gamespot.com/articles/devs-creator-alex-garland-on-why-video-game-movies/1100-6478904/>As for Garland's other favorite franchise, Dark Souls, he's less confident about the potential for an adaptation, largely because of the mood and ambiance the Souls games tend to have. "The Dark Souls games seem to have this embedded poetry in them. You'll be wandering around and find some weird bit of dialogue with some sort of broken song sat with a bit of armor outside a doorway and it feels like you've drifted into some existential dream. That's what I really love about Dark Souls. These spaces are so imaginative and they seem to flow into each other and flow out of each other [...] I can't imagine how that would [be adapted]. The quality that makes Dark Souls special is probably unique to video games."So I guess he's worked out what he thinks is a way to make it work. Civil War kind of had this a bit, in that rather than being an elaborate plot, it was more like a series of small vignettes as the characters travelled across the country. That'd work for Elden Ring.
>>737326996As far as I can tell, you're just way overly fixated on a dumb forced /tv/ meme and try way too hard to bring it up even when clearly not relevant at all.
>>737327016> you're decrying a straight man for playing a gay character and ron swanson didn't reply to the guy on twitter the actor did, and he just pointed out that using a faggot-friendly character like ron to shit on gays is stupidMy point is that the thing you are hinging it on, character canon, does not exist. The Ron Swanson being used in that specific gif is a meme template. Nick, the actor, took offense to that enough to publicly denounce it. So yes I would say that homosexuality is part of his ethos and can be judged accordingly. "Stupidity" or how you are using it in this context is a nothing word that just means "this interpretation of the character is OOC" .>>737327048That is not in reference to Magneto. That is in reference of him PERSONALLY using mutant powers to hurt homophobes. He is not relaying it via Magneto. That is another discussion if he did.
>>737327294I don't even post about the Last of Us show, but I will defend and argue for the use of memes and their memetic influence in board culture. They are wholly independent phenomena from the source which is an even more independent phenomena of the actors that play them and an independent phenomena of the writers then so on and so forth with how atomized it gets.
But Elden Ring has no story and the world is dead?
>>737327574Yes there have definitely not been any films based in dying broken worlds.
>>737327250Yeah, the first Resident Evil was an inspiration for making 28 days laterI know he plays videogames but I really want to know why someone like him is just now thinking about making a videogame movie and out of all the games he chose Elden Ring, it's such a weird choice, I never thought that any of the souls games would work as a movie at all much less the one that's open worldIt's why I'm interested in this movie, really want to know what he does, when I like Garland's movies I really like them but when I don't I really don't
>>737327574Then they'll make a story and make the world alive. You're pretending the source material is sacrosanct.
>>737327306I don't get it. Nick Offerman tweeting something gay related once means that homosexuality is part of his ethos but that doesn't apply to Ian McKellen who talks about how gay he is and how it affects his performance and how he views the characters every single interview?
>>737320551Gonna make a wild guess and say Pryce would be playing Gideon
>>737327656I feel quite certain it's not going to be a straight adaptation of the game's plot, but just a standalone adventure set in the Lands Between featuring a good "vertical slice" of stuff from the game; odd characters, eerie fantastical places, combat with some freaks, a big gruesome boss or two, etc.
>>737327659But it does apply to Ian, it's just applied differently. I think the confusion you're getting is the degree of compartmentalization between the roles are from the actor. >Nick Offerman tweeting something gay related once means that homosexuality is part of his ethosThat's of a single incident. I think it's easier if I say that he is a gay "ally" so to speak. I think that's the right word and where he will defend his characters in that viewpoint, based on allyship, is what I'm communicating to you. He cannot allow his characters to portrayed to betraying his "allyship" because he finds it as a personal attack on his beliefs. Now do you get it?
>>737321175sauce for pic?
>>737324132what has this got to do with the sound design? Warfare also had insanely good sound design
>>737327659>>737327984>Hollywood actors are liberalWe all know that, so why are we arguing about it/
>>737327984Seems terribly pedantic to me
>>737328101>>737328141I'm arguing that actors trying to assert any authority on how characters they played as being used as a meme or any interpretation is a false authority.
>>737328196Well, alright but that's not very relevant to this thread
>>737326276Asian actors often get asked to put on an exaggerated accent because that's what studios think audiences expect
>>737328279It's quasi-related to the overall thread. It's more related to the Nick posts.
>>737327984>I say that he is a gay "ally" so to speakBut what has this got to do with this film roles? Or his casting in this movie?
>>737326658
>>737328528Ethos.
>>737326992You have to understand that hispanic man go insane for cutesy blonde girls
>>737328394Her accent in Devs was American (allegedly), I don't even know what it is in House of the Dragon, it's like Patois + Chinese + Something. Then you see her in a British film and her real accent is just a regular English one. She probably should have just been handwaved as being from England in Devs and had her speak in her natural accent.
>A24>modern Hollywood>Elden Ring a soulless, heavily milked IP You literally can't get any more slop than that. Who is this movie for?
>>737328589Utterly irrelevant then.

Literally all of them say they're fans of the source material as a publicity thing to make people think they know what they're doing.>So I guess he's worked out what he thinks is a way to make it workor he's doing this regardless of what he personally feels about how unsuited this sort of game is to a movie adaptation because now he's getting paid to make one.

>>737323312>Leftoid finally realizes we hate niggersWell done retard
>>737328707It's a film for Elden Ring fans and normalfags. It's not a film that's made in /v/'s interests in mind so it can be discarded as nothing.
>>737328926Such as...?
>>737324214Beautiful post
>people complaining about A24 being the studioAt another studio the cast would have been>Tom Holland>Kumail Nanjiani>Zendaya>Jason Momoa>Ryan Reynolds>Awkafina>Justin TimberlakeThis cast actually has real actors in it.
>>737328846>Literally all of them say they're fans of the source material as a publicity thingNah, Garland has been talking about video games and Dark Souls in interviews for years. This is from six years ago, before Elden Ring even came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMdasaWiYD8He's mentioned Resident Evil influencing 28 Days Later as well, that film is from 2002.
>>737327250Despite the guy's reputation, I'm really cautious about this because Elden Ring is not his usual repertoire. Even without the video game adaptation angle, the fantasy genre isn't even his thing when all he used to make was sci-fi and thrillers, not to mention the big budget.
>no one mentioning Garland's finest work, DreddThat's six months in the isocubes, punk.
>>737325567Fuck off you larping nigger
>>737321089Modern acting... Who teaches that?
>>737320551>No the Rock, Batista, Statham, Momoa or HemsworthOk, I'll give it a try
>>737329258Wasn't 28 Days by Danny Boyle?
>>737329258>Garland has been talking about video games and Dark Souls in interviews for years.To get Bandai to notice him, as with their jewishness and DaS's popularity I'm sure this is far from their first attempt to make a Souls game movie. They've probably had talks about it behind closed doors for years and his previous mentions were to get them to pick him as a director. Regardless of all that, your simping for this guy doesn't mean that this crap will be good or that it's a good idea to begin with.
>>737320551>A24why the artsy fartsy faggot studio? they've not made 1 good movie/show since Ex Machina
There is only one person that I could say with confidence that could direct something that relies on esotericism and surrealism within the industry to such a degree.
>>737321175that's a good thing. I dont like seeing the same people in every movie.
>>737324214zanzibart.....
Lol
>Wasting one fuckllion of dollah instead of just funding 1 or 2 anime seasonsWHY?
>>737330041well unfortunately he's not in the industry anymore
>>737329631Directed by, yes. Written by Garland, they also had the same partnership on Sunshine and 28 Years Later recently. Boyle had previously adapted Garland's novel The Beach as a film.Garland was an author and screenwriter up until the 2010s when he moved into directing as well, with Dredd (officially directed by Pete Travis, but an open secret that Garland wound up unofficially being the actual director) and Ex Machina.
>>737329921>>737328846I think you just have a stock routine planned in advance and aren't willing to deviate from it even though it clearly doesn't actually apply here.
>>737329631Garland wrote the scripts for 28 Days/Years/The Bone Temple
>>737331235We don't know who anyone is playing or even what characters from the game will even appear. Don't start spamming these stupid images from twitter.
>>737320551>A24Into the trash it goes.
>>737331718>28 Weeks Later has no Boyle directing, no Garland writing>it sucks outside of the opening scene>Years was kinoHope they learned their lesson
>>737320551>nick offermanwat
>>737331757Why?
>>737320551>no Jared HarrisLiterally dead in the water
>>737331235>DS3 characterStupid redditor
>>737331779>Years was kinoThat opening scene was brutal for the cardiolets out there. Bigsby sprinting across the way while the hillside lights up with zombies is some real spooky shit.
>>737327250>I imagine if he's writing as well as directing then he was part of getting this off the ground rather than just being hired for the project.It was him who pursued it>director Alex Garland privately shared his experience playing Elden Ring with A24's head of film, Noah Sacco, impressing him to support pursuing an adaptation. After Garland wrote a 160-page spec script, accompanied by forty pages of imagery, Sacco flew him to Japan to sign a deal with FromSoftware, the developer of the gameMiyazaki said previously he was open to adaptations of Elden Ring to other medium as long as it was a strong partner, so I'm guessing Garland being a fan saw an opening to jump in and get A24 on board. They produced his last three films, and Ex Machina, his directorial debut.
>>737331235>Fire KeeperWrong game, retard.
I bet Malenia will be played by a black person
>>737331779On the other hand, I actually liked The Bone Temple a lot even though it wasn't Boyle directing. But I guess because it was made back to back, it still was part of the same production and central ideas even if Nia DaCosta had her own visual style. I hope they complete their trilogy.
Who the fuck wanted this
IT BEGINS...
>>737331779ironically they had Boyle shoot parts of the opening and it makes sense when it's the only part of the movie that actually feel like it's a sequel to 28 Days. I had reservations about Years because I didn't know if Boyle/Garland still had it in them but yeah, I loved it. Glad the series is back and it wasn't just a generic phoned in zombie movie. Even The Bone Temple was surprisingly good, considering it could have easily went the 28 Weeks later route with a different director. >>737330037>not made 1 good movie/show since Ex Machinayou REALLY gotta expand your taste in movies, man. they've had a few stinkers but if you think theyr'e an "artsy fartsy" studio and their last good movie was 12 years ago I'm begging you to expand a little bit
>>737332035Such a shame it plummets off a cliff after the opening, the actual main plot is too dumb and lacks any of the atmosphere from 28 Days Later. Apparently Boyle contributed some directing on the opening sequence, that checks out. It does feel like it's from a different, better film.
They had the perfect Nepheli and they blew it
>>737332570A straight sequel to 28 Days should have just followed some other survivors elsewhere in the country, completely standalone, the whole "Americans rebuilding in the UK a mere four months after a countrywide viral apocalypse" premise was retarded, and how they went about it was even more retarded

>>737324132You're a midwit and should probably kill yourself.>entire film is crafted to avoid modern politics in every way humanly possible so as not to muddy its anti-civil-war message with retarded partisan arguing>goes out of its way to put the two most popularly opposed states on the same team to drive the point home that OUR politics are not the film's politics>a ton of the combat scenes purposefully leave out who is fighting for which side in order to focus on the human drama that both sides are facing>a few events like "The Antifa Massacre" are name-dropped without ever telling you if Antifa was BEING massacred or DOING the massacre; helping to blend its strange real universe into ours without taking some sort of IRL political sideThe ENTIRE film is crafted around what a civil war does to a nation, focusing on the people caught up in it and that basic idea still went right over your midwit fucking head. Jesus Christ. Of all the criticisms you could have for the movie, takes like yours are the lowest scumfuck tier imaginable.

>>737320551I know it's almost certainly going to be an orchestral score, but I almost wish we got Garland's usual synth score, it was nice and eerie in Annihilation, Devs and Menhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIehYrHKWEM
>>737320551could work if it focuses on the story of a single npc but theres no way itll be any good if it tries to follow the player through the entire fucking game
>>737321302Asshole to assholeCrust to crust
>>737333671This. People didn't like it because it didn't correspond to its supposed partisan messaging when the film itself goes out of its way to be non-partisan, at some times even to a fault.
>>737333671idk surely theres an actual historical example of a civil war in america that could show what that would be like? i know its a huge mystery what a civil war in america could do to a person
>>737333979did anybody ask?you sound really insecure
>>737334431Not that anon but that was never the point of the film —how realistically a civil war will play out in the US — rather it's about how utterly chaotic and bloody it would be if a rules-based society were thrust into a civil war.
>>737334431Bro, it's not 1860 anymore. That is not what a civil war looks like in the modern day and it's not what a civil war would look like in America today.
>>737333671The film was very clearly about modern civil wars that happen all over the world, how you document it, how you experience it as a regular citizen, etc, but placing it in a familiar setting to remove the abstract nature of "far away wartorn place" when you hear of civil wars raging in Sudan or other places, and force the viewer to actually look at it. But you had all these goofballs watching and it and complaining there wasn't a 10 minute infodump of "worldbuilding" (which they seem to think is just map painting) backstory on the war, like what does that matter? What would it change about the setting? It's the same place for the characters we're following regardless, and their job doesn't change. Just dropping us in at the start was the right choice.Not to mention the dopes like "why wasn't it nonstop action with armies charging at each other", like it was fuckin' Braveheart.
>>737326128Movies are casted based on the most recognizable faces they can get and nepo connections
>>737325518oh fuck, get that guy shaved and cast into the Death Stranding movie immediately. This is the only Cliff Unger I'll accept.
Having seen Civil War and Warfare from Alex Garland, he can definitely do minimalist storytelling more focused on the setting and journey than pure plot points. That's what an Elden Ring film would need.
>>737335125No, that would be large scale studio blockbusters, such as animated films from Illumination. Most films are in fact cast based on who did the best in auditions.
>>737330041I love Lynch but he is 1/10th Jodorowsky, Aronofsky or even Kaufman. I do appreciate how he got close and him and Linklater did it with forskins though.

>>737320551You can't capture the ethereal otherworldly feeling of Elden Ring in a movie. This is just gonna be a bunch of shitty actors standing in front of green screens with bad CGI and crappy little plastic sets reciting cringe dialogue and it will suck
>>737332954Yeah she's busy bouncing on my average white middle aged cock
>>737336582>>You can't capture the ethereal otherworldly feeling of Elden Ring in a movieyeah I'm pretty sure we have had "ethereal otherworldly" films made
>>737320836>All the Jeets responding to this
>>737336675I've other rumors to that effect.
>>737336839Literally BUILT for 5 inch white cock
>>737335524Is Jodorowsky even still making films? I know Aronofsky is.
>>737326776Didn't they come out about a year ago and say A24 was also making a Death Stranding movie?
>>737335358I really liked Civil War but Warfare was so fucking kino, IMO best war movie ever made
It's kinda funny that this entire film project has been completely in the dark. From the early spotty rumors of Garland directing, to the talk of names being cast, then the video of a set being built, and now finally news of production starting and more casting, absolutely none of it has had any official announcement from From Software, A24, or Garland himself, just reports from industry news. Normally you'd get a big official early announcement at a show that a film project is beginning development, or a teaser trailer announcing in advance. Nope, absolute radio silence from everyone involved.
While I absolutely HATED 28 Years Later, I thought a lot of that movie was very "videogamey", like the worldbuilding, the fat slug zombies reminded me of something out of a Dark Souls game unironicallyI know Garland just wrote that but still, if he can make you "feel" the game, from the essence of the game to how you feel when playing the game, that's what really matters and all a videogame movie should be which is why many don't succeed at this, as it's really hard to translate that part of a videogame to a movie
>>737337338that's the Fromsoftware MO, which actually makes me more confident that this dude "gets it"
>>737337207>Hey Cosmo Jarvis is in this, I liked Shogun>Large portion of his role is being in agony after getting maimed by the IEDProbably not the most fun part to film, along with Joseph Quinn having to roar his head off for like half an hour after his legs are mangled. Good film though.
>>737337017He's almost a hundred years old so not really, but he was still making them up until the 2010s.
>>737337386did you try The Bone Temple? that had a somewhat different tone to it
>>737320551Joke timeline
>>737320551No i have functioning braincells
Garland if nothing else seems to be genuinely into the game and pursued it with both A24 and From>Garland presented a 160-page script, complete with 40 illustrated pages, and personally traveled to Japan to meet the FromSoftware president.>Miyazaki, who rarely approves outside adaptations, was reportedly impressed not just by the script itself but also by Garland’s encyclopedic knowledge of Elden Ring’s lore and mechanics. That was enough to earn the project his blessing, putting the adaptation into official production.>The New Yorker reports that A24 CEO Noah Sacco was first convinced when Garland showed him Elden Ring gameplay on his own screen.
>Ben WhishawPerfect. He slots right into that From Software style of Brit actors with soft posh delivery they always go for with localization.
>>737320551so is this pre-game with the fracturing of the ring and all the god bullshit?could be fun and people get to see these characters before they were horribly fucked upwould mean no doll Ranni until the end though
>>737322469Rya
>>737336675>>737336839she gets railed by fat ugly jews every day
>>737339486If that was the case, she'd manage to book some film roles instead of being unemployed for years and living off Hot Topic endorsement deals.
>>737322759>>737322814Faggots or wokoids. call it
>>737320551if it doesn't have any gore or fuck up death scene it's trash by default and don't give me that cheat oh he can just keep resetting on death trash
>>737338019Yeah, I actually liked it quite a bit which I didn't expect, too bad that 28 years ruined all chances the sequel could've had
>>737339917>have any gore or fuck up death sceneHaving seen some of Garland's films, you have nothing to worry about.
>>737320551Offerman is the only name I recognize here, the rest must be theater kid zoomerfags
>>737339313No, the movie takes place same time the game does, so everything already happened
>>737320551>Emma LairdIt's Jimmima time
>>737321089I can find any cute pictures of this hoe wearing a dress. Also why is she brown irl
>>737340272this looks legit unsettlingcan't put my finger on why tho

>>737340287She's not particularly brown from what I see
I didn't read the thread but what build is the main character going to be? Intelligence? Strength?
>>737340535Generic knight strength build (how I play) or a mix of everything
>>737340287>Also why is she brown irlAre you legit retarded?No offense. Just a honest question.
>>737320638post-shattering (Miyazaki slop) would be really bad. Pre-shattering would be great GoT kino.
>>737327171That's right: gay laser vision.
>>737340535It's a western Hollywood movie. Expect multiple points into dexterity.
>>737337338Yeah, compared to how most vidya adaptations go with plenty of fanfare, this is very low-key.
>>737320551>Peter SerafinowiczTemu Patches is back
>>737326070I will politely disagree with you. I haven't really liked either one of the 28 Years movies, especially the Jimmies, and all their kung fu bullshit. Suddenly the danger of a single drop of blood getting into your eyes/ears/mouth/nose/open wounds isn't an issue.

I dont know even know how to word it but its so obvious and yet so funny that Elden Ring gets a live action western film. Says everything you need to know about the ER fanbase.
>>737342356I don't get it.
>>737342356Hollywood is currently pumping out vidya films and now one of the highest quality and greatest games ever made - Elden Ring - gets its turn and that's funny to you? lol
>>737342447try browsing your local hindi websites instead
>>737320551Are they adapting the Elden Ring manga?
>>737342578>highest quality>elden ringlmaoYes its funny, because just like resident evil it reveals a fan base whod rather be watching movies and capeshit than playing video games
>>737322718https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jGNxTyVH7c
>>737342584>it's totally....le funny....that....a film...is happening!
>>737342682Yeah it's funny that a movie game with ezpz low depth gameplay like Elden Ring is getting a film made about lolololol!! That's sooooo funny!!!
>>737342356I know exactly what you mean. It's pretty much saying flat out, "I bet this fanbase eats slop."
>>737343525It's not exactly an Illumination animated flick with random famous actors thrown into it for marquee value.
Given Elden Ring was fucking garbage I look forward to Hollyjews to capture it perfectly. With a bonus an obligatory nigger x white woman kissing scene. Its what modern Fromsoft 'fans' deserve.
>>737343882None of the actors in the cast list are black.
>/v/ajeets complaining there aren't enough niggersLMAOOOOO
>>737332581I guess she just has too full a schedule

>>737321902what exactly do you think you're doing throughout the gamewhat exactly did you think the intro cutscene was talking about
>>737346134Why?
>>737322968He was amazing in the otherwise mid GI Joe movie he was in. He'll elevate this just by his presence.
>>737322469Wow, rare hapa with an Asian father.
>>737343882saar
Most of his movies have been 100-115 minutes, so what are they going to stuff inside a runtime like that? I doubt there's going to be a sequel so what can the movie possibly end on? Surely not the Elden Beast/Marika/Radagon, right?
>>737320836>morbidly obese but still has small titsGross. Zoomers won't care, they'll fuck anything.
>>737348448why does it need to be a full adaptation of the entire game? just make a dark fantasy adventure in the Lands Between that's a crisp two hours
This is going to be a mistake, a massive fucking disaster
>>737320551I don't like seeing FromSoftware go this mainstream. I mean I get they mog everyone else right now in terms of creativity so naturally everyone else wants a piece of the pie, but still. Nightreign was mediocre and now 2 FromSoft movies? Chill out.
new to souls, how does the armor rating work?is your toon's hitbox one solid unit where head, torso and leg ratings stack up?or is your hitbox really individual for each body part?
>>737348761I feel the exact opposite. It's a passion project from someone who is not only a good writer/director but a genuine fan of the video games using a cast of actors who he feels comfortable with meaning he's going to push them to get the best performances possible.
>>737349057big if true
>>737320551>Nick OffermanThat’s a really weird casting choice. As who exactly?
>>737349057I don't actually know because I haven't looked, but did Garland even mention Elden Ring before saying he'd gone to NG+7 or whatever he said during the press releases? The PR nightmare of people not being mega super ultra fans of whatever property for video game movies seems like they're required to say it regardless of how true it is.I think Garland is a fine director but Men was genuinely quite bad and Warfare/Civil War were okay; he's clearly more at home in smaller scale sci fi productions so I have no idea how well that set of skills is going to translate to a vague fantasy epic like Elden Ring.Being a good director doesn't mean you're good at everything related to making films. I love David Lynch's movies but Dune was fucking terrible.
>>737320551Not really, i stopped caring about fromsoft games after dark soles 2
>>737348761why? it's actually got a decent director who's talked about admiring the style of From games for a while, the cast is good and not just marquee grabbing, and it's not from a blockbuster type studio that would want to make it more family friendly and commercial. It seems to have about as good a chance to be decent as it could have gotten.
>>737349275I don't know about Elden Ring, but he talked about Dark Souls several times before Elden Ring came out, and had a character playing Dark Souls II in the background of his show Devs.>>737327250
>>737323264Why not the actual voice actor for mohg? The motherfucker is already a holywood actor.
>>737349419Interesting. I genuinely don't know which is why I was asking. It's obviously preferable for someone to not hate what they're making, but being a fan doesn't necessarily translate to being a good fit, either.I don't really care for video game adaptations and to be honest I don't think there's ever been a good one. They're marginally better now but they mostly come across as glorified fanservice rather than intentional movies. Not my thing.Maybe Garland or that other dude can make something good but the trend has been bad for almost 40 years now.
>>737349275>but did Garland even mention Elden Ring before saying he'd gone to NG+7 or whatever he said during the press releases?Maybe not Elden Ring specifically but he's gone on record talking about how the Souls games are some of his favorite video games currently out as far back as like 2019. He has also talked about how Resident Evil inspired him to write 28 Days Later and it's still one of the best "modern" zombie movies we've gotten IMO. I don't think someone who wasn't a fan of the games before the huge ER popularity spike would be talking about them in an interview. I can't speak on Lynch's Dune but I have to say that while I didn't really like Men either, Warfare/Civil War were alright but what he shines at doing is creating very atmospheric movies with great world building and that sounds like a great person to direct a Souls movie. Doesn't seem like some RE Cregger "throw the IP onto a random script" deal either
>>737322239Off topic but did we ever find out who the snake was between Pate and Creighton?
>>737349610That makes sense. It's pretty clear he's going to make an honest effort towards the project (is he just directing or writing and directing like he often does?) but I still wouldn't say that's necessarily going to translate to something like Elden Ring. You can adapt almost anything to a movie format, Souls games included, but at some point you get into a question of why, exactly, Elden Ring and not just an original thing if you're going to bend it to the point where it's different enough. And if you're going to just adapt it 1:1 then it's an exercise in futility. I never actually want things to be bad but I just don't see it for Elden Ring.
>>737349275I would agree that Men does not pan out into a great film, but it's not for any reason that I'd be concerned about for Elden Ring. It looked nice, it sounded nice, and it was memorably gruesome with some strong atmosphere. Where it failed was the screenplay which seemed underdeveloped and needed another few drafts, it introduces a hodgepodge of psychological and mythological ideas but they don't really amount to anything concrete and it seemed like he wasn't sure what it added up to so the third act winds up just relying on some gross body horror then a quick ending. With all that said, I don't think that is too big an issue with Elden Ring, because where it was strong, are areas that would also be strong in an Elden Ring film, except for the action element, which going by Dredd, Civil War and Warfare, may turn out just fine as well, those films had really great sound design and editing for action. Likewise for Annihilation and Civil War, I'd look at them and see points in favor of him trying Elden Ring, since I think a film needs to nail a dreamy, eerie atmosphere, with off-kilter characters, as well as not spend loads of time just info dumping, but simply throw the viewer into the world and let it speak for itself. Civil War was good at that, just having the characters go across the wartorn country and experience different little stories and vignettes, rather than concentrating on plot, which is not where a good Elden Ring film is gonna be found if you ask me (and not necessarily where a good Garland film is found either)
>>737339917Dredd, Annihilation, Men, Civil War and Warfare all had some very gnarly violence or body horror.
>>737322718This nigga is definitely going to play Gideon. The cute twink in the OP is going to be John Tarnished
>>737349610>28 Days Later and it's still one of the best "modern" zombie movies we've gotten IMO.Rewatched it recently for the first time in many years, it holds up incredibly well, even the grainy ass digital camera gives it a great raw look. I was a little too young in 2002 to appreciate what a breath of fresh air it must have been after the super slick teen horror flicks of the late 90s ran their course (this and The Ring in 2002 was definitely a shot in the arm the genre needed in the US).
>>737323096Zendaya as the chick with the small axesHenry as GodfreySydney as MarikaTommy and Timmy doesn't fit any characters.
>>737349853Is he writing the script?And perhaps with a cast that large it will be a series of vignettes; working with A24 (which produces all kinds of stuff, good and bad, arty and mundane) is the weird bit because they don't do big budget films. Garland does sometimes but Civil War was a 20 million dollar film. Fantasy tends to bloat budgets of even small scale series and still they often had pretty bad set/costume design because we've lost the art of Peter Jackson's autism. So it could be a weirdly low key, low stakes vignette series set in the Elden Ring universe but you still run into the problem of why you're doing that rather than something original.Or just making big, bombastic and having it cycle through the important people in the setting like you're speedrunning Too Many Cooks at which point it will be geuinely, immutably bad and you can't really rule out that as a possibility.
>>737349852Writing AND directing, apparently after finishing his script he personally gave it to Miyazaki and got his approval on it. Could be bullshit but it seems like he's doing everything he can to make it at least somewhat faithful to the games. I can understand the "why" angle but I think he is a talented script writer/director with an eye for visuals, if nothing else. It'll be interesting to see what the finished up product ends up looking like. At worst you'll have a "passable" fantasy film and I can't complain about that.>>737350109>even the grainy ass digital camera gives it a great raw lookThis is honestly what makes the movie for me. It avoids feeling like an overproduced hollywood blockbuster and instead someones personal handycam footage without bleeding into the "found footage" style. Definitely one of those movies where you appreciate it more the older you get. Some of the shots feel like they're straight out of a fixed camera angle horror game, and when you read about how Garland was inspired by RE to write the script, it makes sense.
>>737348906They went all out with multimedia stuff like crazy all of a sudden.>Secret Levels Armored Core episode written by a guy who wrote Blindsight starring Keanu Reeves>Sekiro anime>Elden Ring movie by Alex Garland>Bloodborne movie produced by JacksepticeyeOther studios are still wary about having movie/TV shows arrangements, and here we are with FromSoft going for multiple of these projects in quick succession.
>>737350134>>737349852He is. But that's his forte, hit or miss, his background is in writing novels and screenplays, he only got into directing as well with Ex Machina in 2014 (and unofficially with Dredd in 2012 which he isn't credited as director for but it's apparently an open secret he was pretty much the real director on).Some have pointed to David Lowery's adaptation of The Green Knight from 2021 as a blueprint for how to adapt From Software's style, and I can see the merits there, though that one might be a little too esoteric and artsy, after all, Dark Souls and Elden Ring are still action-adventure games, you do need some kind of strong action element, so it can't just be slow weird fantasy visuals. We'll see what his approach is. I would hope he marries his style of dreamy, uncanny atmospheres (found in Devs, Annihilation and Men), with his pechant for throwing you in the deep end and just depicting a single tale in an existing world that's not delved into too much (like Civil War and Warfare). The former in particular has a lot of little vignettes in it that would work with Elden Ring NPCs, weird little fragments of stories you get a partial impression of then move on.It it goes wrong, it'll likely be in trying to do too much of the game and being choppy or overstuffed, or from not being able to realize the fantasy visuals. It has a better chance then stuff like Mario which was clearly conceived to be basic kids flick stuff from the start, or stuff like Zelda which is a hard game to adapt to film while keeping it feeling like Zelda, and not just a generic fantasy film, tonally I expect that film to not quite capture Zelda's slight quirkiness and be a bit dry even if it has the costumes pretty accurate by the looks of it. On the stance of strangeness, I'd say some of Garland's films do have unexpected tones, 28 Years Later and The Bone Temple just recently have some oddball stuff that was surprising, in a good way for me, but maybe not for everyone.
>>737350686Look at Capcom's output:not including the original RE movies because they're not part of this trend, butThey have animations for Monster Hunter and Dragon's Dogma which are both pretty badYou have the Monster Hunter movie itself which is really badA bunch of newer Resident Evil stuff that is pretty bad.I have no idea about the Sekiro anime but the Bloodborne one is going to be really bad. You should look up the company, Lyrical Media, who is handling the animation and what they've made so far. A big hint is that it's not animation.So I think we'll see pretty soon here if the trend from Secret Level continues (it was bad) or if they can pull out of the nosedive.
>>737349057I'm still wary because despite Garland working on this, this is not the typical subject matter he tends to work with. He mostly deals with thrillers and sci-fi in a personal, more enclosed drama kind of way. Elden Ring seems bigger than life in comparison to his repertoire.
>>737320551Hopefully Serafinowicz will be the autist pestering Garland with lore titbits.
>>737320551Cast Zanzibart, Myrmidon of Loss, and quiblinec the sorrowful
>>737320551>A24slopHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>737322997Hell yeah.
>>737339917The fused bear scene in Annihilation was actually pretty unnerving, as was the alien scene with the bizarre droning music. I'd expect this one to be R rated.
>>737320836That's not fat
>>737350109I like the production callback to the digital camera done for 28 Years Later where they filmed it using an Iphone (albeit one with a bigass rig, but still with an Iphone at its core). There was one not so great greenscreen scene but otherwise it helped further that feeling of Years being a decades later followup to Days.
>>737350991The movie may be shit but it'll win a bunch of Oscars I guess lmao. A24 is the Hollywood darling right now.
>>737349852>>737349610>>737350134>>737350545I'd rather a big swing with a big miss than a little tap with a little ding. Obviously, I'd like a big swing with a big hit, but either way, I'd prefer they go for the swing and see what happens rather than doing something safe and generic. If it doesn't work, at least you went for it, there'll be something worthwhile in it.
>>737350991Explain what this means.
>>737320551Memento but instead of going backwards, jumps all over the place and its missing half the scenes
>>737350806I've seen the Green Knight comparisons too and I see the vague relevance but I don't think that's the right kind of atmosphere. Even in Elden Ring which finally eschews the 'no music outside of bosses' thing doesn't really much on ambient music for its atmosphere. Films do. They do it a lot and both the Green Knight and Garland engage with thisUnless you're Joel and Ethan Coen you're not going to make a movie with virtually no music for something that, according the internet, is going to cost 'well over 100 million dollars.' It's a weird fixation, I suppose, but it's one of those things I can see being sanded away because it needs to make a lot of money back. And while I appreciate the odd tonal stuff of the past two 28 movies he did not direct them. Elden Ring, like all the Souls games, have a very distinct type of mild humor to them that I think does not mesh well at all with big budget western audiences. It will seem 'too japanese' to a lot of people including producers, I think. It would be easier to excise it than make it hollwood 'humorous' but it's still something that would be lost.It's one of those things where we know Garland is involved but it has a host of people involved that don't care about any of this and are there to just make sure the ROI is being taken care of.
>>737349371I mean good for a video game adaptation still basically means not terribleNobody is writing articles about the quality of the writing in the minecraft or mario movies. Previous adult ones have a terrible track record because they focus on satisfying fans and trying to somehow emulate the game(one doom movie had some retarded fps first person pov idea iirc) so they never just make a good movie Maybe that all changes now that markaplier has Hollywood scared. Doubt it tho.
>>737351073Go watch under the skin it's goodBut damn is it slowThey are slow artsy movies usually
>>737351189Garland's last film for A24 was Warfare, a 90 minute tense thriller that's basically full throttle the whole way.
>>737351116>while I appreciate the odd tonal stuff of the past two 28 movies he did not direct thembut he DID write them, and that IS where the tonal shift comes from>>737350869True but we still have no idea what it'll really end up being. Some set photos have been leaked and at least they're doing something right on that aspect
>>737351116Hard to not find the humor in a character named THE LOATHSOME DUNG EATER, even if he's a truly despicable character in the game, you don't call him that without intending some amount of absurdity.
>>737351253A24 has a pretty vast catalog of movies, it's so weird watching people get hung up on them being an "artsy" studio when they've done a number of horror films or all of the Safdie stuff that borderlines on being "thriller" movies with how tense and in your face they can be.
>>737322819This would be kino of the highest order
>>737351348well not even just that (though that is funny) but I mean like Alexander he's a giant jar filled with gore but he's kind of a chipper gentleman warrior who gets into silly shenanigans, who helps you but is eventually killed by you at the end of the gamehe's not a JOKE character and his oddities are played straight but there's a kind of warm humor to him despite what he ishe's the game's Catarina stand in, obviously, but I have doubts that hollywood writers can understand the distinction of someone being a comic relief character and someone who's just kind of funny but part of the world,
>elden ring fortnitereign >elden ring cinematic marvel universewhat happened to FROM not wanting to sloppify their IPs hmmmmmm?
>>737351405yeah they produced Good Time which is a fantastic moviethey also have like normal family dramas, comedies and shit like that
>>737351341I'd say the villain in The Bone Temple strikes a good chord of being patently absurd but also threatening and compelling in his own way that you might want to capture for an Elden Ring villain. They ought to be aiming for an off-kilter kind of tone hitting melodramatic bombast and mythic tragedy in equal measure. Just having a big roaring monster isn't quite right, though you can certainly HAVE some big roaring monsters in there.
>>737350109Also that music, bueno.
>>737351405It's just tourists mad about EEATT. What they're mad about, I dunno. Maybe the daughter being lesbian.
>>737351405It's just another surface-level take from a metafag that doesn't engage in any media beyond sales numbers and muh cultural impact-tier gossip. These people don't watch films, hell they don't even watch movies.
>>737351116lol
>>737320836Would
