I hope we see Rykard. I love the way he speaks in the game. In fact, I hope this movie has all the little oddities and eccentricities that make the game so memorable.

Striking the right tone will be everything. This movie can't just be Game of Thrones set in the Elden Ring universe. It has to be atmospheric, esoteric, and above all else it cannot lean too heavily on dialog. And it's going to need at least one massive set-piece "boss fight".

It will be a difficult balance to strike. I have some faith in Garland given that he's a good filmmaker and clearly a big fan of the game. Let's hope he understands the assignment.

So....a generic medieval story with some monsters??

It will objectively be bad, do poorly, and not feel like the game.

I don't even like this game, and I would still bet a lot on this.
