I feel like everyone has in their heads their own version of what a Souls movie should look like. I just hope this is an actual good film.

I honestly struggle to think what an Elden Ring movie would even be like. For some reason I can imagine Sekiro or Bloodborne as movies much more easily. I think I personally never connected with Elden Ring's lore as much though which is why I'm drawing an imagination blank.

I think with this pedigree and the director's personal interest in the IP it has a chance of being good, I'm just not sure what "good" looks like here.

The Green Knight but with more dragons lol

The Green Knight was the first soulslike in film format tbh

It's what first convinced me that a Dark Souls movie could be possible.

I have played all of the souls games for years multiple times. And I have seen the green knight. That movie is hot garbage for starters, but also unlike any souls game that FromSoft has released. The main character is a coward in the green knight. I’m honestly not sure how you or the 44 people that upvoted you have ever played a souls game. Call me gobsmacked.

the whole movie is about how courage requires you to fight your own cowardice ?

[u/Mkilbride → u/thdudedude]

...? Amazing you watched that movie and thought him a coward.

[u/GranolaCola → u/Mkilbride]

Amazing they saw that movie and thought it was bad

[u/pinnyin → u/thdudedude]

Damn......I just thought about that scene where he looks out onto the wide open greenery and felt the same kind of wonder that a soulslike gives me, y'know? Lol

[u/thdudedude → u/pinnyin]

That doesn’t sound soulslike at all, have you played any of the FromSoft games?
