Here is the story that Alex Garland’s Elden Ring movie should tell

Alex Garland It is officially directed towards the lands between. A24 and Bandai Namco touched the Ex machina AND Annihilation director to write and direct a live action Ring Elden Movies.

This is a great move for both Garland and A24. Known for cerebral science fiction and rooted psychological narration, this is an unexplored territory, an epic fantasy dark fantasy uploaded with monsters, traditional dark and more emotional traumas of a family meeting at Stormveil Castle.

It is easily the largest oscillation or has taken: a temptular and high imagination world born from the minds of Dark souls Creator Hidetaka Miyazaki AND game of Thrones author George RR Martin. The expectations are adequately colossal.

But the big question is: what story will they tell?

If you are familiar with Ring EldenYou know that the game gives players the freedom to put together their own path through fractured traditions and cryptic NPCs. It is not exactly suitable for the script. That’s why the best approach to Garland could be to focus not on your cloud, but one who came first: Vyke the Dragonspear.

Before the player touched grace, Vyke was not just another warrior who tried to become Elden Lord, it was the cloud to look at. A Loyal Cavaliere of Leyndell’s ancient Coulet Dragon, Vyke’s story is tragic, beautiful and perfect for the screen.

According to tradition, Vyke trained under Lanssax and pursued the Elden ring with a determination that reflected the player’s journey. But everything changed when he tried to save the mud finger from his destined sacrifice.

That’s where the tragedy really enters.

“The story of Vyke revolves around his desire to save his girl to be sacrificed to become Elden Lord, a destiny that seemed inevitable for him. He searched the three fingers, potentially on the advice of Shabriri, and embraced Farzied’s flame, in the end becoming a gentleman of Frenzied Flame.”

A man who chases Gloria gives everything to love, not for power, not for domain, but to save someone who was seen as he uses. And in doing so, he loses his head, his purpose, and in the end he is imprisoned, his journey was short. “A destiny worse than death” does not start covering him.

This is pure Ghirland material, a character in war with himself, torn between love and destiny, who slowly reveals himself under the weight of a cursed world. Vyke is not chosen. He is not a God or a myth. It is a tragic reflection of the player, the path that could have been and this makes it the protagonist perfect.

“The story of Vyke is an ammonia story about the consequences of the choice of the path of frenetic flame and the struggle between love and duty. It represents the mirror image of the player, a cloud that has embraced the frenetic flame to avoid an apparently inevitable sacrifice.”

With Garland’s eye for the psychological nuance and A24 appetite for the cinema that pushes the boundaries, this could be enormous and epic as the lord of the rings.

This could be an extraordinary fantasy film that gives us something intimate, brutal and emotionally honest, and Vyke’s story is exactly this, a poetic nightmare about love, power and cost of choosing your path.

If A24 and Garland are seriously willing to do it well, they will allow us to burn first with Vyke.
