As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for exciting updates about upcoming films, and today’s rumor regarding the Elden Ring movie has got me intrigued! Word on the street is that an up-and-coming talent from the Alien series might be making his way into this project. Fans seem convinced it’s for the part of Melina – a character I can’t wait to see brought to life!
Elden Ring, released in 2022, is a captivating action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco. With visionary director Hidetaka Miyazaki and the brilliant George R.R. Martin at the helm of worldbuilding, this game has captured the hearts of millions around the globe. The base game has seen an expansion in 2024 with Shadow of the Erdtree, and this year we’ve been graced with the Elden Ring Nightreign spin-off multiplayer. With such a rich tapestry of storylines to draw from, I can hardly wait to see how they adapt it for the big screen!
Three years following the game’s debut, it was confirmed by production company A24 that a movie version was being developed, with director Alex Garland (known for “Ex Machina” and “Annihilation”) leading the project. Not long after this announcement, the author expressed his thoughts on the adaptation, and he will also act as producer to manage the storyline and backstory. Given that production is already underway, including casting, it’s likely filming could start in 2026, aiming for a 2027 premiere. Currently, Garland has finished writing “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” and does not have any other projects in progress except for “Elden Ring.
Elden Ring Movie Reportedly Eyeing Alien: Romulus’ Cailee Spaeny
On Twitter, Jeff Sneider, an insider, shared that Cailee Spaeny, who played a role in Alien: Romulus, is reportedly in negotiations for a reunion with director Guillermo del Toro in the upcoming Elden Ring movie. This follows their work together on the 2024 film Civil War. No specific details have been released, but fans are speculating that Spaeny might play Melina. Pictures of the character have circulated online along with comments suggesting she is indeed playing this role. Some fans are certain about her character while others have suggested Ranni the Witch as another possibility. If true, this would mark Spaeny’s second collaboration with del Toro after their work on Warfare this year. Moreover, rumors suggest that Heartstopper star Kit Connor is also in talks for a leading role in Elden Ring, which could be his second project with del Toro following their work on the film Warfare. Lastly, it has been hinted that a James Bond actor might join the cast of the Elden Ring movie, but no further details about this role have been disclosed yet.
As a movie enthusiast, I find myself reflecting on the captivating journey of actress Anya Taylor-Joy. She first caught my attention voicing Rain in the chilling asymmetrical horror game “Dead by Daylight,” produced by Behaviour Interactive. Later, she graced our screens in the television miniseries “Devs,” created by Alex Garland, and “Mare of Easttown.” Her talent was also showcased in films like “The Craft: Legacy” and “Priscilla.”
Though Bella Ramsey has been phenomenal in developing Ellie for HBO’s “The Last of Us,” fans of the Naughty Dog game series have long imagined Taylor-Joy in the role. The striking resemblance between her and the protagonist from the game series has fueled this desire.
As gamers eagerly await a decision from A24 regarding Spaeny’s role, fans of Elden Ring are already brainstorming alternative suggestions for the character Melina. This enigmatic figure plays a significant role in the game’s narrative but is only present at Sites of Grace to guide the Tarnished on their journey to becoming the Elden Lord. Among the popular fan choices for Melina, we find Zoe Kravitz, who portrayed Selina Kyle in 2022’s The Batman, and actresses Nathalie Emmanuel from Game of Thrones (Missandei) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte).
