Kit Connor eyed for lead role in Alex Garland's Elden Ring movie adaptation
British actor Kit Connor may soon reunite with director Alex Garland for a major role in the live-action film adaptation of Elden Ring, the acclaimed video game franchise from FromSoftware. According to Variety, Garland is eyeing Connor—his star from A24's Warfare—for a lead role in the upcoming film, although no formal offer has been made yet. Garland was recently confirmed to write and direct the adaptation, which is being produced by A24 in partnership with Bandai Namco. The story, drawn from the mythos co-created by George R. R. Martin—renowned for A Song of Ice and Fire, the basis for HBO's Game of Thrones—will bring the game's dark fantasy world to the big screen. Producers include Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, Vince Gerardis, and Martin himself. Released in 2022, Elden Ring became a global phenomenon, shipping over 30 million units. It earned multiple Game Awards, including Game of the Year. A new spinoff, Elden Ring: Nightreign, is set for release on May 30, followed by Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2 later this year. Connor rose to international fame as Nick Nelson in Netflix's Heartstopper, which will conclude with a movie this summer. He recently starred in Warfare, co-directed by Garland and Ray Mendoza, based on real military experiences. Speaking about Garland, Connor told Variety earlier this year, 'Working with Alex is creatively fulfilling—he brings out your best.' While casting remains unofficial, speculation has already sparked buzz among fans online, many praising the possible casting as a 'perfect fit' for the game's tone and lore. Industry watchers are now keenly watching for confirmation in the coming weeks.

Sony forecasts flat profit this year as tariffs bite
TOKYO: Sony said on Wednesday it expects operating profit to rise 0.3% to 1.28 trillion yen ($8.7 billion) in the financial year ending in March, after factoring in a 100 billion yen hit from US President Donald Trump's trade war. The estimated tariff impact does not reflect this week's trade deal between the United States and China and the actual impact could vary significantly, Sony said. Sony's shares reversed a more than 3% fall from the morning session to rise over 2% in afternoon trading after the results. The Japanese conglomerate has transformed from a maker of household electronics such as the Walkman to an entertainment behemoth spanning games, movies, music and chips. President Hiroki Totoki has strengthened his grip over the conglomerate, taking the CEO role last month. Sony is preparing for a partial spin-off of its financial unit as it focuses on entertainment. The spin-off, which would leave Sony with a stake of less than 20%, will take place in October. Sony sold 2.8 million PlayStation 5 (PS5) units in the fourth quarter, a 38% drop compared to a year earlier. Operating profit at the gaming unit fell by 12.5% over the same period. Sony raised PS5 prices in Europe and Britain last month, citing higher inflation and exchange rate fluctuations. Sony expects profit at the games business to increase by 16% this year due to higher sales of first-party games. Sony posts 10% profit rise in Q1, beating estimates 'Ghost of Yotei' is set to launch in October, following the success of 'Ghost of Tsushima' which has sold 13 million units on PlayStation and PC. Industry observers expect 'Grand Theft VI' to boost the console business but Take-Two Interactive said this month it has delayed the game's release to May 2026. Sony's operating profit including financial services rose 16% to 1.4 trillion yen in the year ended March, beating analyst estimates.
