George R.R. Martin has hinted at a potential Elden Ring movie, but his involvement remains uncertain due to his ongoing work on The Winds of Winter. The Game of Thrones author collaborated with FromSoftware on the game's world-building, contributing to the lore and history that predates the game's events. FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki has expressed openness to an adaptation, but emphasizes the need for a strong partner to handle the production. Martin, while acknowledging discussions about an Elden Ring film, admits his commitment to completing The Winds of Winter might limit his participation. He describes his collaboration with FromSoftware, detailing their iterative process and his contributions to the game's rich backstory. Martin confirms that much of his world-building work remains unused, suggesting potential material for future projects, including sequels or expansions. The significant delay of The Winds of Winter however, remains a major factor affecting his availability for other projects. His comments highlight the extensive background material created, drawing parallels to Tolkien's work and emphasizing the depth of the Elden Ring world. The possibility of an Elden Ring movie remains intriguing, but its realization and Martin's level of involvement depend heavily on the completion of his long-awaited novel.
