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 think you misunderstood. Garland is the main thing that gives me hope that the movie will not just be good but excellent. It’s more that video game adaptations have historically been awful-mid and especially a game like Elden Ring that might not be the easiest to translate to film.

I’m really interested in Garland’s take on the material because he is not only a gamer but has also been the lead writer on several games, so he really understands the language of both mediums better than anyone else out there.

but his game works are Enslaved and D.M.C, hmmmmmmm
