Elden Ring movie could be in the works, George R.R. Martin interested in never finishing the script
How good would an Elden Ring movie be? What if George R.R. Martin wrote the script? Well, we might never know. In an interview with IGN, George R.R. Martin admitted that "there is some talk about making a movie out of Elden Ring." He played a key role in the game’s worldbuilding, and Martin worked closely with FromSoftware during development. However, he acknowledges that writing a movie script would likely only happen after he finishes The Winds of Winter—the long-overdue sixth entry in A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that inspired Game of Thrones. He is 13 years behind schedule, and while he has admitted he may never finish it, he still treats completing the book as his top priority. That makes it unlikely he would write a rumored Elden Ring movie script anytime soon. Screenshot by Destructoid FromSoftware’s past comments also hint about an Elden Ring movie While George R.R. Martin has been cautious about discussing an Elden Ring adaptation, FromSoftware has hinted at the possibility at least twice. In June 2024, Elden Ring game director Hidetaka Miyazaki told The Guardian: "I don’t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example." However, he noted that FromSoftware doesn’t have the expertise to make a film and that it would require a “very strong partner” to bring it to life. While George R.R. Martin could be one of those key collaborators, Miyazaki was likely referring to an entire movie production company as well. Later, in December 2024, Miyazaki remained vague about Elden Ring’s future in an interview with Japanese website Game Watch but didn’t deny anything: "At this point, we are not considering an Elden Ring 2," he said. "However, that does not mean we are ruling out further developments for the Elden Ring IP. As for what comes next, FromSoftware, as always, has multiple projects in progress." While Martin’s recent comments fuel speculation, FromSoftware has yet to make any official announcement about an Elden Ring movie. The post Elden Ring movie could be in the works, George R.R.
