Hidetaka Miyazaki Has Already Given His Permission for an Elden Ring Movie

Elden Ring, the game that sends players running from oversized lobsters and cursed demigods, is now making its way to the big screen. Set in the haunting and mysterious Lands Between, it has long offered players a sprawling world to explore, one where stories are discovered and every ruin hides a secret.

But this time, the story won’t be pieced together through item descriptions or cryptic NPC dialogue. It’s headed to theaters. And don’t worry, this isn’t another rushed cash-grab adaptation. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki himself has given the project his nod of approval.

The path forward is shrouded in mystery, but not without promise.

A24 accepts the summons: Elden Ring movie confirmed

Whispers of a movie adaptation have been swirling since last year, but recent reports have turned rumor into reality. According to

, the Elden Ring movie is officially in development, and the studio taking on the challenge is none other than A24.

Known for producing some of the most complex and inventive films in recent memory, like Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Lighthouse, and Midsommar, the studio has built a reputation for tackling complex narratives with artistic integrity.

This isn’t a studio known for safe bets or surface-level spectacle, which bodes well for a universe as layered and hauntingly deep as Elden Ring. However, what’s even more reassuring is that behind this green light is none other than Hidetaka Miyazaki, the visionary mind of FromSoftware.

While he’s admitted that film isn’t his domain, his approval of the adaptation, paired with his insistence on a capable partner, indicates that this project won’t stray far from the spirit of the game. With A24 at the helm, it seems that Miyazaki has found the strong collaborator he was waiting for.

, Miyazaki surprised fans by expressing openness to the idea of bringing Elden Ring into other media. But he was quick to note that neither he nor FromSoftware had the “knowledge or ability” to handle such a project on their own.

I don’t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example.

Still, Miyazaki made it clear: this wouldn’t be an adaptation for adaptation’s sake. His condition was firm; a “very strong partner” would be essential to even consider it. Seems like A24 ticks several boxes in the man’s checklist.

One of the reasons Elden Ring’s world is so rich is thanks to the groundwork laid by George R. R. Martin. Though not the lead writer, Martin helped shape the game’s sprawling mythology, from the demigod bloodlines to the cosmic powers that toy with fate in the Lands Between.

Together, Miyazaki’s visionary game design and Martin’s narrative scaffolding laid the foundation for a cinematic narrative full of weight and wonder, forming a strong creative backbone, one that could translate perfectly into a fantasy film.

It’s a risky quest, no doubt. Translating the existential weight of Elden Ring into a screenplay is no small feat. But just as the Tarnished rise from the ashes of exile to challenge the gods, this movie might rise to meet its enormous potential, provided it stays true to the soul of the game.

Let’s all hope it does, and that we get to see it dominate the big screen the way Malenia dominates unsuspecting players.
