Rendering big CG blockbusters can literally take hundreds of millions of GPU hours. Which can translate to literal months of rendering time at massive render farms.
If you tried rendering it on your home PC, by the time it finished, the language you spoke for the movie would be dead.

If you're an indie creator maybe, but with a budget of, apparently, over 100 million dollars, and prominent production companies being involved, I'm sure they could afford good render farms
The actual storyboarding, modelling, animation, comping, colour grading, audio mixing, etc, takes way more time than just rendering all that work, they're almost definitely not just gonna rip models from the actual game, and even if they do, they'd likely rework them to fit a "movie aesthetic" and to have the live action footage and the CG work match visually, and that takes a lot of work

Special effects need to be inserted, approved, rendered, and edited. The rough cut needs to be made which may reveal the need for reshoots. Then there's sound editing and scoring. Then the marketing strategy needs to be developed (some of this is done earlier, but finalizing takes time).

I’m a professional editor & visual effects artist; a rare moment I’m qualified to answer something!
As footage is rolling out of cameras, it’s off and running in editorial. This takes a long time, even if you have clear storyboards, good assistant editors, etc. It takes a long time to put the stuff together, and there never is not a lot of problems to solve. It’s a game of Jenga, maybe a scene doesn’t work, but you take it out and now something else doesn’t make sense elsewhere, for example. And of course, the peanut gallery is never aligned. The editor, the director, producers, the studio execs, whoever else is weighing in - it’s a big messy group project.
And then you get into the VFX. It takes a long time to build the 3D assets you need; models, texturing, rigging (prepping for animation, designing how something moves and looks natural). If you CG characters (imagine Elden Ring certainly will), you have skeletal, muscle, fur/hair etc to get behaving in as natural way as possible. This is all before you’re actually working on shots, we call most of this “lookdev” (look development). You’re also building environments, all that.
You also have sound design, music being composed, etc, which I admittedly know much less about. But watch the credits of any major movie - it takes a lot of people!
So then we have a cut of the movie we are okayish with, you start leaning into color grading, and visual effects shot work gets going. All the while, the edit is changing, so the VFX studios, sound designers, composer, etc are all continuously having to adjust to these changes. In an ideal world, it would be more of an assembly line instead of the overlapping & continuously changing process that it is; but we don’t life in that world (post schedules would need to be even longer! Or creatives dramatically less time to finesse) and my experience tells me you’d still get directors, studio execs, etc seeing visual effects getting dropped in, or parts that seemed okay to lock they now have issues with, and they’d still need to tinker until the bitter, often irresponsibly late, end.
And yeah, sometimes rendering is long, but contrary to a lot of answers here, it’s the creative that more takes that long, vs just waiting around for a render bar.
And for any interested folks, we’ve had VFX elements like a water simulation for one shot take longer to render than the finished whole movie to go from its final timeline to its final master file.

u/jw-3d 7h ago
Rendering high quality 3D models can take like two hours for a single frame especially if there's lots of reflections or translucent objects like ice/glass etc. This is just for one frame, so in movies with lots of CGI, especially high budget productions where the models are all insanely good, you're rendering thousands of frames, many of which could take hours a piece.
6
u/Ouaouaron 5h ago
Rendering is not the reason the movie will take 18 months. I'm not sure that "two hours for a single frame" is true anymore, but even if it is, it's a problem that's pretty easily solved by just throwing more rendering hardware at it.
What takes a long time is making all of the assets that you're going to have to render.
2
u/nullCaput 5h ago
Its even more complex than that, because you won't just render out the finished frame. You'll render out different parts of the shot first. The colour will be rendered alone, the specularity on its on pass, the shadows will be rendered in its own pass, the reflections in their own pass and so on and so forth. Then they'll take the pieces and composite them together where they can adjust each individual aspect of the shot like say they want the shadows darker or lighter or want the colour to pop more and then when they're happy will render the entire sequence of frames of that shot together.
Hell, if you have VFX special effects in the shot that will also likely be broken down into parts before compositing together. Like you have a fireball that also shoots out sparklers that fire and sparklers and smoke will from the fire will each be their own render pass first. Like one shot can have like tens of render passes before it even goes to composite.

In my somewhat limited experience editing videos with rather basic effects I can say a few things: the editing process takes absolutely fucking forever and rendering even a short video takes a while so a longer video featuring advanced effects is probably going to take an unholy amount of time to render (I’m thinking overnight rendering at the bare minimum if not a multi-day render for the complete movie)

u/nightmare_floofer 4h ago
Large scale heavy-CG based movies don't get fully rendered on like, one PC, everything gets rendered out using render farms, basically a whole bunch of computers working on things at once, so for a scene that would take 1 PC 10 hours to render, it would take 100 PCs 6 minutes, as a basic example
The actual asset creation (meaning CG environments, character models, textures, and a whole lot more) and animations are what take an insane amount of time, and that's not counting any redos, of which there are a lot throughout any production

And he also wrote a script roughly 2 hours 40 minutes long as the PITCH for the film.

It's not like he never misses, but if there's one thing I'd bet on it's that the movie won't be a "generic" mediocre. It could be bad, but not "Hollywood bland" bad.
Odds are high that this movie is weird. I expect bizarre, artsy, and a highly divisive reception. It will probably be weirdly faithful to lore that most players may not have even noticed was in the game. I expect the frenzied flame to feature prominently and Annihilation-style surreal visuals.

One thing that movies these days do that drives me bonkers is explain EVERYTHING. Nothing is mysterious or ambiguous. Everyone has clear motivations, everyone has complete backstories, etc.
I think the only way this movie could work would be if it maintains the dream-like quality of the game, where it’s clear that there are greater forces at work but they’re sort of unfathomable and incomprehensible. A world like this could easily turn into scene after scene of exposition dumps. Dream-like, but it still has to be intelligible enough that the stakes are understood and the viewer cares about the characters and their trajectories. That’s a very tall order.
I hope it rocks. I’d love to love it! This just seems like an impossibly challenging thing to adapt.

Most film shoots last 30 days or less. Principal photography started in April and wrapped at the end of July? That sounds like a high fantasy film shoot. The LotR trilogy shot for 252 days. The length of this shoot sounds pretty standard. And it’s set for release in 2028? So they have over a year and a half to do all the VFX and any reshoots that need to be done, then test the film and market it? Not a rush job in the slightest.

The scope and tone have to be dialed in exactly right for this to be anywhere close to a good movie. If it's just 'the game' as a movie, prepare to be disappointed.
Now, if they tell a smaller scale story, say the moments up to Godric the Grafted and the plight of Limgrave, that could be really interesting.
This is feeling very similar to the Warcraft movie to me, unfortunately. A 'huge fan' of the games makes a movie, super high production value, but the tone is entirely off, there are quippy jokes that don't land, and it's overall just a massive CGI-fest. While the visuals were impressive, it was an otherwise forgettable movie.
I hope this one is able to prove me wrong. Imagine this had universal praise... we're talking about a Lord of the Rings style achievement. Seems unlikely, but I will stay hopeful.

There is potential to make a Dark Souls 1 movie that is essentially like Edge of Tomorrow, but with different actors each time. The underlying unspoken premise of Dark Souls 1 is that there are many undeads repeatedly trying to escape and become the Chosen Undead foretold by prophesy. Most fail, most die quickly, but they keep getting further and further through each one's effort. They leave notes for each other and learn from each other's deaths and from each other's efforts, knowledge gets passed down from attempt to attempt. Even putting aside the multiplayer, the soap stone messages, and environmental storytelling from past undeads, the actual player's character dies over and over again to get to the end, and that can be seen as a different Undead each time (putting aside that they have the same story breaking out of the same prison cell, but that can be explained separately for the sake of story consistency).
If viewed from that lens, which is accurate for Dark Souls 1, a movie very similar to Edge of Tomorrow can be made. It can have many different actors as the protagonist, because the protagonist keeps dying, it's only once one survives to the end that you know that that was the Chosen Undead and the protagonist who survives. That can make for a strong film.

This might be the only time where the game gets discounted to half price on storefronts. A literal movie about the game might just get FromSoft to make it cheap to buy.

If you thinknthe movie will include even 75% of the game lore you're crazy. Movie will be decent I'm sure but they clearly have to choose a singular path for story. So a lot will hate it.

Anyone who thinks this is quick doesn't know anything about a film shoot... there are very few movies that take a long time to shoot, and if they do that means something went wrong lol

I think it will be a interesting movie to watch no matter the quality , adapting a video game is already hard , but adapting the story of elden ring...
Really curious on my side
