After many months of rumors, speculation, and general confusion, the live-action Elden Ring movie has officially been confirmed by Bandai Namco and A24, who announced their collaboration in a press release.
As it turns out, the details of the Elden Ring movie very closely mirror what was first reported by Nexus Point News earlier this month before the story was retracted.
Alex Garland, who directed the 2024 dystopian action thriller Civil War and co-directed the 2025 war movie, Warfare, is writing and directing Elden Ring for A24. A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin, who helped create Elden Ring's world and lore, is signed on to produce.
The project doesn't have a release date or window attached just yet.
Elden Ring is a highly acclaimed and massively popular RPG first released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC in 2022. It sees players navigate a treacherous and vast open world to become the new Elden Lord.
Rumors about a film adaptation have circulated for years, with Bandai Namco CEO Yasuo Miyakawa saying in 2021 that they planned to expand "Elden Ring not only as a game but also in a variety of other areas". In 2024, Martin soft-denied the rumors, fueling speculation further.
A24, meanwhile, is also co-producing a movie adaptation of the action-adventure game Death Stranding alongside Kojima Productions.

The Massive $900 Price Cut on the Samsung Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor Is as Big as the Screen
If you like your gaming to be low-key, stick to crossword puzzles. If you like your gaming to be big, bombastic, and as over the top as possible, we have a deal for you. The Samsung 49-inch Odyssey QD-OLED G9 Curved Gaming Monitor, a truly jaw-dropping gaming display, is $900 off right now at Samsung. Normally a $2,300 luxury investment, it's now a far more accessible $1,400, and worth every penny. The massive 49-inch curved screen in 32:9 width with Dual QHD (5120 x 1440) resolution and 110 pixels per inch is absolutely the selling point of the Odyssey G9 monitor. Every single game you play on it will feel like it's the first time all over again when you see it in such stunning size and sharp clarity. But the Odyssey G9 is more than just big. Far, far more. See at Samsung Ludicrous Speed That big screen is great for gaming, but a huge gaming monitor that's laggy and slow is, well, a huge monitor better suited for spreadsheets. That's certainly not the case with the Odyssey G9 — it has a mindblowing 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03 microsecond response time, so it can more than keep up with even the most intense and fast-moving action games and shooters. It's also compatible with G-Sync to eliminate tearing and provide a silky smooth gaming experience at all times. Samsung's Glare Free technology ensures you can enjoy that OLED screen in all its glory, with perfect blacks and colors not obscured by external light. The screen is 54% less glossy than even Samsung's conventional Anti-Reflection film. The screen also intelligently detects logos, taskbars, and other fixed images, and reduces the brightness behind them to avoid burn-in. Huge, Fast, and Smart The Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor has smart technology and features that protect itself, giving itself optimal performance and longer life. If you take a game break, the screen will dim itself after 10 minutes, and automatically return to its previous brightness without any input on your part. And the built-in Thermal Modulation System predicts the surface temperature of the monitor and automatically controls the brightness to reduce heat. The critics and users have raved about the Samsung 49-Inch Odyssey QD-OLED G9 Curved Gaming Monitor since it came out, and now with this $900 off deal that brings its price down to $1,400, there has never been a better opportunity to score one for yourself and change the way you game forever. Head to Samsung now before this deal ends! See at Samsung
