Elden Ring Film Adaptation in Discussions, But Martin's Role Uncertain

George R.R. Martin hints at a potential Elden Ring movie, but acknowledges a significant hurdle to his involvement.

The Game of Thrones author, instrumental in crafting the world and lore of FromSoftware's Elden Ring – a 2022 bestseller – acknowledged discussions regarding a film adaptation during IGN Fan Fest 2025. While sidestepping questions about a sequel, Martin's comments strongly suggest a movie is under consideration. His involvement, however, is contingent upon his ongoing work on The Winds of Winter.

Martin clarified his contribution to Elden Ring, explaining his focus on world-building, establishing the historical context preceding the game's present. He collaborated extensively with FromSoftware, providing background details on the game's magic and runes, spanning thousands of years of history. He confirmed that much of his created material wasn't used in the game, leaving potential for future projects.

Martin's commitment to completing The Winds of Winter, however, remains a major factor. The long-awaited sixth book in A Song of Ice and Fire series has faced significant delays, and Martin acknowledges the possibility of its incompletion. This ongoing project significantly impacts his availability for other endeavors.
