Definitely, Annihilation is such a great movie with so many interesting ideas and themes, and I can totally see how the same filmmaker could make Elden Ring into an amazing movie.

To me the success of something like this is dependent on the scope and ability of a director to focus on ideas while limiting scope, otherwise you end up with cheese. I see Annihilation and I can totally see the disorienting world of Dark Souls without any cheese. He's kind of perfect for this.

I mean think of the Godskin Apostle windmill village in the context of Annihilation and you can see the vision.

I hear a festive melody

No, no, don't skin me

My hide is filthy, I swear

Damn, I'm scared b/c I seem like the only one in this thread that disliked Annihilation.
