Live-Action Elden Ring Movie on the Way from A24 and Director Alex Garland

Of course it's not going to be another video game to movie train wreck, right?

This is going to be good, an 80 hour experimental movie with no plot that consists of the protagonist wantonly killing thousands of creatures because the Gloam-Eyed Queen told them to.

That was the screenplay I wrote for a Diablo movie.

Diablo's story is more developed than that of any Soulsborne game, not counting Sekiro as it isn't truly one.

True, my idea was just watching 4 guys do endless Baal and Mephisto runs

I think it would be better to change the runs to Pindleskin grindnig. Title the film Chasing Zod and could sprinkle interviews with people who actualy found a Zod in between, lots of social media coverage by people who faked finding a Zod until they made it, and interviews with a bunch of grinders who still believe that the game isn't rigged. I'd also suggest a libertarian view from Guard Dog and an interview with Hurlshot just to make sure you get a dose of that utterly unwarranted optimism. 

And you have a great exploration of the human condition in capitalist America in 2025 via video game allegory. Might even win you a prize or two.
