Can we not? He barely contributed anything to the story. Plus who even cares about video game movies?
Speaking to IGN, Martin said he “can’t say too much about it,” but did indeed confirm that there is “some talk about about making a movie out of Elden Ring.”
In Hollywood, nothing is certain, so no one should get their hopes up to see an Elden Ring movie soon, or ever. Martin acknowledged this, saying “we’ll see” if the movie “comes to pass.” Even if an Elden Ring movie does materialize, Martin said he’s not sure what the extent of his involvement could be. “I don’t know,” he said, before going on to acknowledge that he’s “a few years behind” on his long-awaited Winds of Winter. “So that limits the amount of things that I can do,” he said.
Before this, From Software’s own Hidetaka Miyazaki said there is “some interest” in an Elden Ring movie, but the team wants to be careful about finding the right partner for it.
Oh suuuuure, he has time for a movie but not The Winds of Winter.
I love me some Souls games, and the lore can be pretty neat… But it’s not let’s make a movie out of it quality.
It could be, but you and I both know it ain’t gonna be right.
Despite efforts and intentions, it’s going to be a sub-par movie, Martin is going to die, and SOIAF fans are going to be frothingly irate.
