Elden Ring live action movie director Alex Garland previously said he was “on NG+6” and loves Shadow of the Erdtree: “Don’t even want to think about the hours I’ve clocked up. Can’t seem to stop playing”

At last, the much-anticipated Elden Ring live-action movie has officially been confirmed following years of whispers and guesswork. Now, devoted FromSoftware enthusiasts must brace themselves, will it measure up? The verdict won’t be clear until its release, but with renowned director Alex Garland (known for Civil War and Warfare) in charge, there are promising signs.

I’m not just expressing this viewpoint due to Garland’s film industry background; it’s also his earlier remarks about Elden Ring that caught my attention before the movie adaptation was announced. For some time, there have been whispers about Garland being involved in the project, but with him now confirmed as the director, there’s a surge of interest in his online activity, and fortunately, he appears to be an authentic fan of FromSoftware.

A few weeks ago, during a Reddit AMA session, Garland commented on the progress he’s made in the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree. He expressed his affection for it, stating that he’s currently playing through ng+6 (New Game Plus 6). The time he’s invested is substantial, and yet he can’t seem to pull himself away. He’s still uncovering new discoveries in the game.

Have you noticed that he’s playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree for the seventh time? That indicates Garland is quite dedicated to the game, especially if you’re familiar with FromSoft games.

Even though the AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Garland is a few weeks old, there are still numerous fresh responses to his comments, likely from individuals discovering his association with the Elden Ring movie. Everyone seems thrilled to know he shares the status of being a Tarnished (a term used in the game Elden Ring).

According to PattilloParker, initially, he had some concerns regarding the movie, but now, it seems like he’s part of the same group, and he believes this film could reach its absolute best!

“NG +6?!??! Based,” says Groundbreaking_Arm77.

Here’s something delightful for you, coming from a potential future director of your favorite game series! I’m thrilled to learn that you’re among its fans.” (said by AlwaysOnsideTBH)

As a devoted admirer of Elden Ring, I can’t help but share the excitement and apprehension surrounding its transition to the big screen. With Hollywood involved, it’s only natural for fans like myself to worry about whether they can do justice to such an iconic IP. However, having Ridley Scott as both writer and director offers a glimmer of hope. And with the recent news that he has immersed himself in The Lands Between, I find this development particularly reassuring.
