This noob missed the plot.
Git gud.

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

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.

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

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

I have no faith that Hollywood will be able to actually capture the soul of the game's world and story. It's gonna be full of exposition.

That’s disappointing -

Alex Garland is a pretty good director. Ex Machina is one of my favourite films and Annihilation was a demonstration that he isn't so tied down by the source media, but does capture the spiritual essence of a book adaptation, at least.
He's a pretty proven writer and director and has written for video games before (DMC 2013). Elden Ring as a universe has a lot of interesting angles you could approach a story from.
I think as an action souls game adaptation , it will be hard to avoid trying to please the two groups of people: one that wants a compelling narrative and another that just wants to see a big boss fight on screen. -
i agree i immediately do not care about franchise products these days
