Elden Ring live-action movie set to be directed by Alex Garland
A24
is making a daring move into the
fantasy blockbuster
territory with its latest announcement: a
live-action film
remake of the award-winning video game
Elden Ring
directed by visionary filmmaker
Alex Garland
.
Garland, responsible for smart hits such as Ex Machina, Annihilation, and this year's Warfare, will write and direct the film, his most ambitious pairing to date with A24- a studio fast becoming a leader in high-concept genre.
Elden Ring, created by
FromSoftware
and released through Bandai Namco, stormed the gaming community when it dropped in 2022. More than 30 million copies of the game have been sold globally, and it is renowned for its vast, mysterious lore—written in part by Game of Thrones scribe George R.R. Martin—and famously difficult gameplay.

The player must navigate the creepy, mythic Lands Between, fighting demigods and reassembling the broken Elden Ring to bring order back to it. The game's evocative world-building and enigmatic storytelling have made it a prime candidate for cinematic adaptation.
Garland's hire indicates that A24 is serious about handling the adaptation both artistically and at blockbuster scale. The director's earlier work on behalf of A24, such as Civil War and Men, has received critical acclaim for balancing genre spectacle with psychological acumen. Insiders point out that Elden Ring would be A24's priciest film to date, following the studio's trend toward big-budget productions in conjunction with other game adaptations such as Death Stranding.

The announcement has charged up both the worlds of film and gaming, with enthusiasts waiting to know how Garland is going to bring the game's ambient fear, grand battles, and mysterious storytelling to the big screen. Plot and casting details are yet to be announced, and the shoot is supposed to start in 2026 after Garland has wrapped up other big projects.
With its elaborate lore, memorable bosses, and visionary team renowned for taking risks, the
Elden Ring movie
is shaping up to be a cinematic odyssey. With buzz in full swing, one thing's certain: A24 and Garland are placing big bets that the sorcery of the Lands Between will enchant audiences as deeply as it did players

Salman Khan's childhood crush on Rekha: Did you know once Bollywood's most eligible bachelor wanted to marry the 'Umrao Jaan' actree?
Salman Khan and Rekha Long before Salman Khan became Bollywood's heartthrob, he was just a wide-eyed boy mesmerized by the unmatched charm of one of Hindi cinema's most iconic actresses—Rekha. While fans today can't stop gushing over Salman's on screen presence, it turns out that the superstar himself once had his own fan moment and it was far more than just admiration. During an episode of Bigg Boss back in 2014, when Rekha appeared on the show to promote her film 'Super Nani,' Salman let slip a nostalgic revelation that took everyone by surprise. He spoke fondly about his childhood and confessed that he used to attend yoga sessions as a kid not out of interest in fitness, but simply because Rekha was the instructor. As he candidly put it, 'I had no real connection with yoga but since Rekha ji taught it, my friends and I would show up religiously. ' Rekha reveals Salman's innocent childhood obsession The story didn't stop there. Rekha herself chimed in with an amusing memory that Salman may not have expected her to share. The actress recalled a time when Salman was just a boy of about 7 or 8 and he would quietly follow her on his bicycle. What might have seemed like mere puppy love to outsiders was a heartfelt emotion for young Salman, who once went home and declared to his family that he would one day marry Rekha. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [Click Here] 2025 Best Luxury Hotel Prices Expertinspector Learn More Undo Laughing at the memory, Salman added with his signature wit, 'Maybe that's why I never got married.'
