Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin shares thoughts on Elden Ring movie adaptation
George R.R. Martin, the renowned writer behind the Game of Thrones series, recently shared his thoughts on the newly-announced Elden Ring movie adaptation. Martin, who worked on the backstory for the beloved game from FromSoftware, expressed his excitement for the film version of Elden Ring, which will be directed by Alex Garland.
A positive response to the upcoming adaptation
In a post on his blog, Martin described Garland as a first-rate director and praised production company A24 as kickass. His overall mood upon hearing about the project was hopeful, as he shared a YouTube video titled Why the Elden Ring Movie WON’T SUCK. While Martin is clearly excited about the project, there has been no confirmation of his involvement in the adaptation.
Challenges of balancing multiple projects
Despite his enthusiasm for the Elden Ring movie, Martin is already occupied with numerous other projects. Recently, he announced an upcoming animated Hercules movie that sparked criticism from Game of Thrones fans eagerly awaiting Winds of Winter, the next installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire Saga. Martin acknowledged the frustration of fans who have been waiting for the new book for years.
Uncertainty surrounding Winds of Winter release
Winds of Winter, the highly-anticipated next book in Martin’s series, remains incomplete with no release date in sight. It has been 14 years since the publication of A Dance with Dragons in 2011, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the continuation of the epic saga. Despite the delays, Martin remains optimistic about his upcoming projects.
Details on the Elden Ring adaptation
While little is known about the Elden Ring movie adaptation, Garland is reportedly eager to reunite with actor Kit Connor for a key role. The film has not yet entered production, and a release date has not been announced. Fans of George R.R. Martin and FromSoftware will be eagerly anticipating further updates on this exciting project.
