If there were any concern that Alex Garland isn't an Elden Ring fanboy, we now have evidence that the movie director is as devoted to FromSoftware's 2022 epic as the rest of us.

According to the story, A24 head of film Noah Sacco visited Garland and watched him play the game after the director "gushed" about it on the phone.
