I wonder it is going to be THE Elden Ring story or An Elden Ring story, a small contained story in the Elden Ring world could fly really well, bonus points if Patches kicks the protagonist off a cliff.
my preference would be a film about the shattering, giving us some (but not too much) more insight into just what fucked the world up so godsdamned much.
but that would need to be extremely faithful to the lore and character designs and i just don’t see hollywood showing up for that.
Second, Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros Movie, and I’m not sure if it would count, but Wreck It Ralph are all good video game movies.
Alex Garland has made some pretty good movies, so there’s a chance. I thought his instincts with annihilation were pretty much spot on. But yeah, movies based on games do not have a great track record.
I’m sure they’ll fuck it up.
Name one good (serious) videogame movie. One.
It’s not a movie, but the Fallout series had a great first season, and I’m looking forward to the second.
The last of us was great too. Not a movie still. But .
The original Mortal Kombat movie. The newest Sonic movie was also pretty good imo.
But yes, this can probably go very wrong.
Silent Hill
That one got a lot of hate, but I actually liked it. Not so much the second one, though.
Normally I’d agree, but it being A24 makes me very hopeful.

Does Last of Us count? Sonic movies and Mario were pretty decent too.
First, it’s A24 and they put out amazing movies .

Wreck It Ralph doesn’t count because it wasn’t based on an actual video game, but on video games in general. But it was indeed great.
Super Mario Bros. (1993) was a cult classic.
The 2023 movie is forgettable garbage.
The Sonic movies are fun though. Knuckles TV as well.
The Hoper Mario is something - it’s so off the rails, that it’s crusing on anothet track.
Street Fighter. It’s fantastically bad.

Its funny in this case because not “fucking it up” effectively means making a movie that’s barely related to the game outside of the basic setting.
