The initial report, viewable through Internet Archive, announced the existence of an Elden Ring film adaptation, which was set to be directed by Civil War and Annihlation director Alex Garland. The film was expected to be Garland's next film, and was set to begin shooting in 2026.

The article, framed as an "exclusive" from Nexus Point News, was quickly removed following its publication yesterday. However, this didn't stop it from circulating online, quickly posted to ResetEra and to Wario64's X account in threads that have since been closed or removed.

Since then, The Verge issued a warning regarding the Elden Ring movie reports, highlighting the piece as "an interesting case study" on how news travels on the internet. Both Nexus Point News and A24 have declined to comment on the matter, and the current consensus suggests that they should be categorized as speculation and taken with a grain of salt.

To deepen the plot further, Hollywood's Jeff Sneider, who claims to have insider information on the matter - tweeted that Alex Garland is in negotiations to direct Elden Ring for A24.

While Garland himself openly expressed his love for Elden Ring in a Reddit AMA published last month, there's little reputable evidence to point to the project's existence.

While there does appear to be traction surrounding the idea, all we can do is wait for official comment.
