Elden Ring film from A24 and Alex Garland in the works
An Elden Ring film is in development at A24, with acclaimed filmmaker Alex Garland set to write and direct. The movie promises to bring the rich world of the popular game to the big screen, with Garland’s experience in both film and games likely proving valuable.
Alex Garland: from films to games
Alex Garland, who previously earned an Academy Award nomination for his work on Ex Machina , has an impressive filmography. He has directed films such as Annihilation , Men , and Civil War . Garland has also contributed to the video game world, writing for titles like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and DmC: Devil May Cry . His involvement with Elden Ring is also personal, as he has played the game no fewer than seven times.
George R.R. Martin’s involvement
Alongside Garland, George R.R. Martin, known for Game of Thrones , is also involved in the film adaptation. Martin contributed to the lore of the Elden Ring game, and his insight will likely play an important role in shaping the film’s story.
Timeline
April 2026 - Fans suggest the movie’s popcorn bucket should be shaped like Iron Fist Alexander.
2026 - Production is already underway, with reports of film sets in Scotland linked to the movie.
2026 - Nick Offerman is rumored to have a role in the film, after previously working with Garland on Civil War .
Visible elements in the film
If the film follows the popular trend of themed popcorn buckets, fans suggest Iron Fist Alexander would be a perfect fit. Iron Fist Alexander is a living jar with ambitions of becoming a mighty warrior, which adds to the irony of people eating popcorn out of his body. That could give the movie a unique and humorous touch.
Future FromSoftware projects
The film is not the only project from FromSoftware. An R-rated Bloodborne animated film is also in the works and will be released by Sony Pictures. FromSoftware also has future releases on the way, including The Duskbloods , a game for Nintendo Switch 2, due out later this year.
