Is an Elden Ring Movie Coming? What We Know So Far
The possibility of an Elden Ring movie has sent waves of excitement through the gaming and film communities alike. Fans of FromSoftware's critically acclaimed RPG are eager to see its immersive world and haunting story brought to life on the big screen. But are these film rumors real, and what do we actually know about a potential Elden Ring film adaptation?
How Did the Elden Ring Movie Rumors Begin?
Speculation about an Elden Ring movie heated up after a report surfaced on Nexus Point News, mentioning that Alex Garland—known for "Ex Machina" and "Annihilation"—was set to direct the film for A24. However, The Verge cautions that the original article was swiftly removed and no official statements have confirmed the news. You can read their full analysis here, which examines how the rumor spread and why readers should be skeptical of the source.
Exploring the Rumored Adaptation and Its Director
According to World of Reel, Alex Garland was rumored to be attached to an Elden Ring adaptation as his next directorial project, with filming speculated to start in 2026. Garland's visually striking and cerebral filmmaking style, seen in projects like "Civil War" and "28 Days Later," also made him an exciting choice among fans. The report highlighted Garland’s history of working with A24 and noted that the supposed project would bring the gripping narrative of the Tarnished in the Lands Between to a new medium. However, given the unofficial status and deletion of the original announcement, it is important to wait for concrete confirmation.
Where Do the Facts Stand Now?
After the Nexus Point News article was taken down, speculation continued across forums and social media. Both FromSoftware and A24 have declined to comment on the rumors. As pointed out in The Verge's coverage, there are hints that FromSoftware is open to expanding Elden Ring beyond games—George R.R. Martin has alluded to possible adaptations in past interviews. Even so, there is no official announcement of a film currently in development.

With renowned storytellers like Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin at the helm of the original, a film could attract both fantasy aficionados and newcomers alike. But until a studio confirms production is underway, the project remains a tantalizing possibility.
