“Don’t even want to think about the hours I’ve clocked up”
Garland’s love for Elden Ring isn’t just casual—he’s obsessed. In a recent Reddit AMA, he admitted:
“Love Shadow Of The Erdtree. I’m on ng+6 currently. Don’t even want to think about the hours I’ve clocked up. Can’t seem to stop playing. Still discovering stuff.”
For fans worried about whether the movie will stay true to the game’s lore, Garland’s dedication is a reassuring sign.
A good omen for the Elden Ring movie?
Garland’s deep familiarity with Elden Ring suggests that the film will be crafted with care, avoiding the pitfalls of poorly adapted video game movies. While details about the movie’s plot remain under wraps, his passion for the game could mean a faithful adaptation that respects the rich lore and worldbuilding of The Lands Between.
With Garland’s extensive experience in The Lands Between, Elden Ring fans can expect a thoughtful, well-crafted adaptation. Whether the movie follows Vyke’s story, explores new characters, or dives into Shadow of the Erdtree, one thing is certain: Garland knows his way around a boss fight.
