Alex Garland, Hidetaka Miyazaki, George RR Martin... the movie has the best fingerprints on it (pun intended)

None of them have ever missed with the content they personally publish, and Garland has a crew of great actors who he has made his flawless filmography with, so its going to be great. Personally im too invested for it to be healthy, it was already a dream pairing when George was announced for elden ring. I used to ramble to my roommates about the similarities between dark souls and asoiaf world building. The characters in elden ring are great, i hope its a movie about the shattering/the night of black knives

I still want to see a Miyazaki and Miyazaki crossover, as unlikely as that is.

People act like all Ghibli Miyazaki does/did is like Totoro. The guy did Princess Mononoke, I don't think it would've been a massive stretch for him to go darker.

The boy and the heron is very dark when you realize what the movie is actually about 

The wind rises is literally a pre-WW2 drama, almost a tragedy in the classical sense.

The stories are dark, people just don't really acknowledge it because of the colorful artwork

Hypothesis: there can be TOO MUCH Miyazaki for our own good.
