There have been rumors for several weeks, but now it is formal. Elden Ring Movie is located in A24 where Alex Garland is connected to Direct. There is no doubt in the first blush. But it is shocking when you think about what the film actually involves.
This is A24, a studio famous for its low budget and independent production. The most expensive film that has raised funds so far is the upcoming Timothée Chaalamet vehicle Marty Supreme. But with the reported $ 70 million budget, the film is still firm in the mid -budget area. In the context Not a single MCU movie The cost is hardly cost (the cheapest is the original Iron Man, the A24 creates a movie that has been an efficient spot for blockbuster environments that have been obsessed with and swollen to franchise so far.

I am here to become a modern movie studio in the 90s.
Together with the upcoming wars and relics, the A24 has a wide range of appeals.
Transition to A24's IP and Action Films
It has begun to move slightly in recent years. The A24 is still reported to be interested in expanding the original dramas and horror films of low budget and mid -budgets, but it is interested in expanding to IP and action. Although the director has not yet been attached, the upcoming film adaptation was announced as the first big IP announced in the studio, and the civil war of Alex Garland (to MARTY SUPREME up to the studio's largest budget film) moved to the spectacle -centered behavior.
The Inter -Korean War gained a lot of mileage from $ 50 million, creating a war in the United States, a highway full of highway cars, Washington DC's streets, even White House shooting, and expensive helicopter shots. But still essentially worked as a version of our reality. Its world was still our world. Heroes and villains were human. In the case of the Elden Ring, I am wondering how big the swing A24 should pull out.
Green Knight is a blueprint, but only blueprints
The studio has experience in fantasy in a similar context, thanks to David Lowery's The Green Knight. Arthurian adaptation has made Dev Patel wandering the surreal medieval UK. The film shooting and location also seem to go well with the aesthetics of Elden Ring.
But one of the definition characteristics of the Elden Ring is the boss fight. They are large and good, and some are human, but they can be pulled to action sets using costumes and practical effects. huge) As with dragons that can be found around the world, others will ask for the heavy help of CGI. I have no idea what Alex Garland's taste is. He made the most of his whole career as a film writer such as extinction and a writer as a writer with Danny Boyle.
Seriously, after 28 days, London's shots after the empty apocalypse are very impressive if the film is only $ 8 million.
But spectacle is the core of the charm of Elden Ring. Amazing view, various other world environments, fantastic creatures. STORMVEIL Castle and Raya Lucaria Academy require a great location scout, a large set or both. The game is full of prospects for raising the budget and raising awe.
There is no huge battlefield scene in the fantasy epic, such as the Lord of the Rings, but there is no intimate place as the general fee of the A24. Green Knight suits you well in terms of tone and subject, but Elden Ring will require much larger scale. Does this mean that the studio expands to $ 100 million for the first time? Honestly, I don't know how it is.

The Elden Ring, which has sold 30 million sales, is not the end of FROMOFTWARE.
The success of fromsoftware is worth it and needs to be concentrated, but you can't wait for what's next.
