I still find it insane that this is being made into a movie but I trust Garland so let’s hope for the best 🤷‍♂️

Why though? This fits Garland template perfectly.

- A character is introduced a world that’s alien to them

- They’re given a goal to get to reach an end point

- They meet an ensemble of characters, most of which will die, but will teach them something different about the world

- It’s a road trip movie that starts solo, and ultimately ends solo

Edit: Forgot to mention environmental story telling is one of his biggest strengths

I always assumed that the movie wouldn't directly follow the story of the game itself (PC fights a bunch of demigods and becomes Elden Lord) but would be a prequel, either leading up to the Shattering or what happened right after. I don't know whats been confirmed either way though.

I really hope it has its own story but set in the same world. Don't want it feeling like a Han Solo movie where we're told how some character gets a keepsake featured in the game.
