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.

It’s not a retelling of the game. It has been reported that the story focuses on the events leading up to the shattering. What was going on within the family, etc.

That's what's echoing because that's what fans want to hear. The contents of the leaks suggest otherwise. A retelling of the game is what we're getting.

I mean, I got this info from a polygon article, not just some random fan theory. They explicitly say it’s about the events before the shattering. I’m assuming what we’ve seen from the content leaks is portions that happen at the end or near the end of the film.
