Elden Ring movie director Alex Garland reportedly wrote the film's 160-page script in an effort to win over video game creator Hidetaka Miyazaki – and it clearly worked.

According to a new story in The New Yorker, the upcoming live-action adaptation was pitched to A24 head of film Noah Sacco by none other than Garland. The filmmaker then "offered to write a script on spec" in order to earn Miyazaki's support. The script totals out to 160 pages, with "forty additional pages of imagery." Sacco and Garland flew to Japan together in order to close a deal with FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment.
