"He enthusiastically dives into the game, analogous to monkeys typing on typewriters, showing dedication on his seventh attempt. The Elden Ring movie director shares our passion."
Live-Action Elden Ring Movie's Director is a Gaming Fanatic
Ha! You won't believe this, but the director of the upcoming live-action Elden Ring movie, Alex Garland, isn't just a fan of the game - he's friggin' obsessed! This dude's not just playing Elden Ring, he's on his seventh playthrough, and he's gotta the stones to call out the Starscourge Radahn boss as an easy fight! But don't tell him about the last boss in Shadow of the Erdtree, or he'll be all "Easier said than done, mate!"
Speaking to IGN during a chat about his latest project, Garland confessed he's been playing Elden Ring for the better part of forever, and Malenia, Blade of Miquella is his biggest challenge. "I've leveled up, I've got lots of juice, and a cool sword," he said. "One day, they're dead." Sounds eerily like a Soulsborne veteran, don't you think?
Garland credits Dark Souls for teaching him the art of persistence. "It's more like monkeys and typewriters," he admitted. "You just keep doing it, and eventually, one day, they're dead." That strategy, he reckons, is something essential for a Soulsborne fan like him to crack Elden Ring.
As a fellow Soulsborne nut, I can't help but disagree. I believe mastering fights and paying precise attention to boss attacks are the keys to success. But hey, to each their own, right?
And here's a fun fact - Garland's fondness for Soulsborne games isn't a new thing. Around five years ago, he had doubts about adapting Dark Souls into a movie, but now, here we are in 2025, and he's directing the live-action Elden Ring movie. Go figure!
It's not every day you meet a director who's an actual gamer with a passion for the game they're adapting. So, even if the Elden Ring movie doesn't live up to expectations, we've still got Elden Ring and its new co-op roguelike spinoff, Elden Ring Nightreign, to keep us entertained. And guess what? Elden Ring is only $39.39 at CDKeys right now! Now, that's worth banging your head against a wall for!
