  • George R.R. Martin supports the Elden Ring movie led by director Alex Garland.
  • Martin praises A24 and Garland but hasn’t revealed his exact involvement in the film.
  • Fans will have to wait for more updates on casting and trailers for the Elden Ring movie.

George R.R. Martin, the author behind ‘Game of Thrones’, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Elden Ring movie and its new director, Alex Garland. It’s common knowledge among fans of both Martin and video games that a live-action version of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s 2022 Elden Ring is in development by film production company A24 and game publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment. At this point, not much information has been disclosed about the movie, other than Garland leading the project and actor Kit Connor being considered for the main role.

Fans are aware that the release of the movie is not imminent, certainly not this year, and as for casting announcements, they might be a while off too, along with any trailers. However, Martin subtly hinted during his promotion for the upcoming “Lost Lands” project on Max last month that the Elden Ring movie could potentially be in its early stages of development. Yet, given his numerous ongoing projects, it’s likely his role in the film will be limited. Despite this, Martin has a history of keeping fans guessing, as he playfully denied any knowledge about the Elden Ring adaptation last year, which only intensified speculation about the project.

George R.R. Martin Offers His Support for Elden Ring Movie and Director Alex Garland

George R.R. Martin, who contributed to the background story for FromSoftware’s hit game Elden Ring, expressed admiration on his website Not A Blog towards both production company A24 and director Alex Garland of the upcoming Elden Ring movie. Although Martin didn’t reveal specific details about his role in the film due to his cautious approach with statements nowadays, his recent blog post title has been changed to “Hopeful,” and he linked a YouTube video by Zayf the Scholar titled ‘Why the Elden Ring Movie WON’T SUCK – Director Reveals His TRUE Power Level’. Fans can interpret this as they wish.

Martin praised A24 as an outstanding production company, and Alex Garland as an exceptional filmmaker, regarding the Elden Ring movie on his blog.

Martin appears quite enthusiastic regarding the Elden Ring film and Garland’s role in it, but there’s no information yet on what specific part he will play in the project. It’s well-known that this author has numerous projects lined up, such as the upcoming animated movie A Dozen Tough Jobs, which has been a hot topic among fans eager for The Winds of Winter.

Subsequently, Martin stirred up his devoted fanbase once more by disclosing that he had teamed up with Colossal Biosciences to unveil their inaugural de-extinction of an animal, specifically the dire wolf. This news left fans perplexed about his participation in such a significant project as they continue to anticipate the release of his overdue next book in the series.
