Video Game adaptations have come a long way from their humble beginnings, and sink or swim, they've become projects worth following. Shows like Fallout have shown that big studios can put out great pieces tying directly into the canon of existing universes, while Castlevania is a showcase of just how strong alternate retellings can be.
A24's Elden Ring film is amongst the most anticipated video game adaptations of all time, with a grand scale, exciting production, and the biggest budget of any A24 project ever at $200 million. A24 has been on a hot streak, with massive successes like The Backrooms giving them plenty of money to throw around for a huge production like Elden Ring.
Western and Eastern Fantasy Combined
Elden Ring is another world that uses FromSoftware's fantastic balance of Western and Eastern fantasy trappings to devastating effect. Much of the world-building and characters were infamously written by George R.R. Martin, author of the Song of Ice and Fire series. As such, the world of the Lands Between is the most lived-in of the Souls settings, making it prime material for an alternate media adaptation.
