‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24

Video game movies have a chance of being good, they are almost always trash with a slim chance of being good. For a game with a lot of lore and no plot, the chance of being good is close to zero.
Maybe a miracle will happen.

I love the idea of media expanding on the lore, but needing to insert a plot could ruin it
My only "solution" is a TV series instead of a movie and every episode should be a separate story

Silent Hill

First, it's A24 and they put out amazing movies .
Second, Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros Movie, and I'm not sure if it would count, but Wreck It Ralph are all good video game movies.

Super Mario Bros. (1993) was a cult classic.
The 2023 movie is forgettable garbage.
The Sonic movies are fun though. Knuckles TV as well.

Sorry, best we can do is having the audience dodge roll every scene.

Doing Edge of Tomorrow style Progression where one actor plays different classes and steadily progresses could be an option. Explore the world from a changing perspective.

I’m cautiously optimistic. The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with. Also it’s Alex garland and a24 so like. I’m in.

But also adds more chance of the movie to fuck up the lore for the sake of the movie's plot.

I really wish studios would just start hiring writters and making original content. Im so bored of everything being ripped from other media.

I think it just shows that the reason most video game movies fail isn't because the movie is bad, but because the fans are too harsh. If Wreck It Ralph replaced the main characters with characters from Mario but still had the same basic plot I don't think it would have been as well received.

Personally I'm keeping my expectations low on this one. Game adaption to movie seem to always go to shit. Though personally would love a movie about the Bloodborne universe. I imagine a horror mystery movie about it.

There is a plot?

Git gud.

I'm sure they'll fuck it up.
Name one good (serious) videogame movie. One.

If you're looking for actual examples there's Silent Hill, Fallout, or The Last of Us.

wrote on 24 May 2025, 13:54 last edited byTake any trending media in the public consciousness and make a movie based on it. Minecraft, mario, whatever blah blah blah. I'm sick of it all. Don't disturb me I'll be napping

The original Mortal Kombat movie. The newest Sonic movie was also pretty good imo.
But yes, this can probably go very wrong.
wrote on 24 May 2025, 15:36 last edited byLol it may be an unpopular opinion but I don't think we can call mortal Kombat objectively 'good.' It's a cult classic for sure and a fun watch, but for reference it aired at Quakecon's Master Pancake sat night event one year with the MST3K folks and well.. they don't typically do blockbuster hits

Can you make a movie out of pure lore? Maybe a prequel, like The Fall of Hoarah Loux or Ranni's Rebellion? Will the audience be required to parry things?
wrote on 24 May 2025, 16:26 last edited byIf I were tasked with this project I'd probably make the plot about Vyke. It would mirror the tarnished"s journey enough.
