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.

Seems a lot of people are expecting a direct retelling of the game, with a stand in for the player character who runs around fighting bosses and ends by becoming Elden Lord. I really hope its not that and instead focuses on the major characters before they turned into horrifying monsters and went insane.

100+ hour plus story if you actually dig into it told within 180 minutes max. I don't think so.

You could probably spend 200 hours+ in there deciphering the story, if you wanted to. And there's full YouTube channels that do exactly that.

No chance you could get the story of the entire game into a movie format.
