Last week, it was announced that Alex Garland (“Civil War”) would be turning the RPG “Elden Ring” into a live-action movie for A24 Films. It’s now being reported that Garland already has Kit Connor (“Heartstopper”) in mind to star. The duo recently worked together on the aptly titled war epic, “Warfare.”
While we must stress that nothing is official in terms of Connor’s casting, yet. Connor is interested in the project, but scheduling and making a formal offer are still huge hurdles to leap.
A24 has declined to comment on the possible casting at this time.
Garland will be writing and directing this big screen adaptation of the 2022 Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. game. “Elden Ring” is an action RPG set in an open dark fantasy world that players can freely explore. It is directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, and based on a story written by George R. R. Martin.
The film adaptation is produced by Martin, Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, and Vince Gerardis.
We’ll keep you posted on “Elden Ring” updates as the project develops.
