Elden Ring’s creators sure keep talking about an Elden Ring movie
Elden Ring creators Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin seem to be hinting that a movie (or TV series) based on the open-world fantasy role-playing game is coming — or at the very least, they’re trying to will one into existence, based on recent comments from the two Nebula Award winners.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Elden Ring director and FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki said, “I don’t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example.” He noted that FromSoftware doesn’t have “the knowledge or ability to produce something in a different medium” and would need to rely on a “very strong partner” to make it happen.
“We’d have to build a lot of trust and agreement on whatever it is we’re trying to achieve, but there’s interest, for sure,” Miyazaki concluded.
A few days after that interview was published, Elden Ring lore co-creator George R.R. Martin cheekily wrote on his blog, “Oh, and about those rumors you may have heard about a feature film or television series based onElden Ring...I have nothing to say. Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumor?”
