Alex Garland wanted the Elden Ring movie so badly he wrote a 160-page script, plus 40 pages of visuals, entirely on spec. Then he flew to Japan to pitch Hidetaka Miyazaki in person. No studio sent him. He had no rights. He just showed up with 200 pages.
Video game adaptations usually start with a studio optioning the IP and handing it to a director who never played the game. Fans can smell it in the first trailer. This one started with the director spending months writing for free, then begging for permission.
A24 broke its own model to back him. Their previous budget records were Marty Supreme at $90M and The Smashing Machine at around $70M. Elden Ring came in well over $100 million, the most expensive film in the studio's history, shot across 100 days in the UK and Iceland on native IMAX cameras. Real Welsh castles stood in for the Lands Between.
The source material can carry the bet. The game has shipped over 30 million copies, built on a mythology George R.R. Martin wrote for FromSoftware. Kit Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Ben Whishaw, Nick Offerman, and Jonathan Pryce lead the cast.
Every adaptation director claims to love the source material. Garland wrote 200 pages and bought his own plane ticket before anyone gave him the rights.
