which director would you pick for an Elden Ring movie?

[aloneonline9]

if i had to pick a director for an Elden Ring movie i'd go with Robert Eggers or David Lowery. both have shown they could really nail the Elden Ring vibe with their films, Lowery's The Green Knight and Eggers' The Northman are prime examples. i choose both cause it's tough to choose between them but i might lean a bit more towards Eggers. comparing The Northman and The Green Knight is tricky, both have their strengths, but Eggers is known for his dark eerie style, so if Lowery passed on the project i wouldn't mind Eggers taking the reins. but if Lowery jumped on board, i’d be totally cool with that too.

Edit: my next question, which bosses do you think should definitely be in the movie? i'd be satisfied just to see Godrick, Godfrey, Gideon, Mohg, Malenia, Placidusax, and Radagon with Elden Beast.

Jodorowsky, Aronofsky, or Lynch. All have that weird take like Elden is.

Lynch is in the Black Lodge now. RIP in peace David.

Bro has never played video games period, given how many of them espouse--explicitly or implicitly--"political ideologies."

The Tomb Raider games are explicitly supporting the idea of looting the graves of others' ancestors "because history!"

More or less every Far Cry game from three onward has been explicitly anti-violence (yes, they enable *incredible* acts of brutality, but the narrative is always some variant of "fighting back only made this worse than it already was," and 3 goes for the throat on the "white savior" trope).

The Mass Effect games give room to enact both isolationist and "globalist" ideologies in how much Shepard does/does not defer to and try to protect the Council, in addition to multiple politics-adjacent sub-plots.

And yeah, as you point out, ER follows a pretty heavy-handed "organized religion does some crazy ♥♥♥♥, yo" narrative throughout its runtime.

I could go on, but the vast majority of art is inherently political (Spec Ops: The Line, anyone?)--it's just that we tend to notice only when the political aspects of a work of art don't line up with or reinforce our personal political outlook.

How about a satirical Raimi version with Bruce Campbell getting a one liner or two. Hell, add Tarantino as a co-director and main producer. I want the two directors to hate eachother but spitefully and dutifully make the film work.

Sam L. Jackson is Godfrey.

...still can't get over how lately self-serving the explanation for Quiet's appearance was in MGS V. Bro should've just gone the Yoko Taro route, rather than trying to play the aggrieved auteur.

He actually managed to apologize without apologizing......Now he could pull a "If you dont like swim suits just dont buy it BrOh".

Also i remember Quiet actress mentioning Kojima was particularly interested in her feet.....And here we are laughing about what kind of pics Miyazaki love.

Now is when i will suggest Matt Stone and Trey Parker as directors. From all the suggestions in the 50 posts of this thread this is the ONLY ONE you can consider a inminent reality ( one Elden Ring South Parker chapter....).

They DID do a pretty good silent protag in 'The Fractured But Whole'... which is what we would need for ER IMO. 60% combat, 30% running around exploring, 10% cast of NPCs with 1-2 lines which all end in creepy extended laughing.

+1 for Aronofsky, specially that fire sword scene from the movie Noah.

Godfrey must be played by Terry Bollea, and he must yell the n-word with a hard R. It doesn't work with Samuel.

Still doesn't beat Samuel, mainly in the part where the tarnished walks into the boss room for the first time, then Godfrey turns around, see's you and yells "Motherf###er!"

This is the worst thing I've read on the internet today.

That and the mental addition of him also yelling homophobic slurs, all the while railing a white not-his-wife woman makes me bow out for today.

If you complete Far Cry 2 it turns out to be a harsh lesson about the exploitation of third world countries - you and your enemy have basically taken part in supporting that warlord/group, fighting another warlord, etc., destroying the infrastructure, costing the lives of the inhabitants, taking their resources, and after you're gone from the place that cycle will repeat... at least that is how I put it into my memory.

A movie of what? The game has no plot, no story, no interesting characters of any sort, no character development and very, VERY vague lore. The only thing it has is things to kill. There is literally nothing to make a film with.
