Please be good and have a cool sword fights? We don't have enough quality live action fantasy movies made nowadays.
The Elden Ring movie actually sounds promising.
I'm extremely doubtful that ER movie will do justice to vibe and atmosphere of the game, but I'd be very happy to be completely wrong.
It's Alex Garland and A24. It's got a much better chance than most.
Yeah, I know who's doing it - if anything, A24 did Green Knight, which I (mostly) found to my liking in style and pacing, but Elden Ring is, IMO, much more complicated to pull off.
But as I said, I sincerely hope I'm wrong about it.
Hopefully this will be good
Would have preferred Petter Jackson over Wes Ball but that was never going to happen lol
Anyone know what UMAMI means?
And it better be watchable.
