Because there's literally 0 way to do a 100% perfected narrative of Elden Ring. The story doesn't work that way.
Will the movie suck? Maybe, but I'm not looking for a 1 for 1 copy, because it's literally impossible. If it does suck, who cares? It isn't going to "tarnish"(see what I did there?)my love of the video game. But maybe we wait for the fucking thing to come out and be consumed before we start boomering too hard, eh?
Are you somebody who can't compartmentalize and separate the mediums? It can still be my favorite game of all-time and have a movie adaptation, even if it sucks. Can you not look at it in a similar vein as that of the Mad Max stories/movies?

If they just do Godwin, the shattering, and a bit of the war between radahn and malenia and end it there I can see it. I highly doubt they could even get through all the player interaction with Rani in one movie. Let alone the back story of the elder gods, dragons vs giants, flame of frenzy, goldmask, crucible knights, gaols, dungeons.
I doubt they even scratch the Player's interactions. Just do the basic back story and introduce the setting. They could easily milk 5-6 movies out of all the factions.

Souls lore style is less LOTR and more Silmarilian.
It's big picture. It's mythology. World building.
Whatever Garland pitched it was good enough to impress Miyazaki.

Of course I can do it, I like the first Silent Hill movie even though it wasn't even close to as good or deep as the game. I just don't understand the reasoning behind doing it at all. Most video game adaptations are duds, and this one just doesn't seem accessible at all.
Maybe you two are right and it will be good. I am just part of the camp that thinks his ass should be working on Elden Ring 2, More DLCs for the first one, or Bloodborne 2 instead of trying to help make this.

The film industry always wants their nut
But Alex Garland is making this because he loves the game.
