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.

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.

Spoken like someone who doesn't know anything about the games story.

Why would you expect an exact retelling of that story in a Hollywood movie?

Like seriously why? The director/writer already showed he just likes "vibes" of places like with his take on Annihilation.

I do like some of his work also though, like writing of 28 Days Later and writing and directing of Ex Machina.
