Google is dumping millions into AI with FromSoftware's studio 🎬

The Elden Ring live-action movie is in production, set for March 2028. It's being handled by A24 (also working on the Death Stranding film), and Google just gave them a massive cash injection for AI research.

Michael Sarnoski plans to start filming the Death Stranding movie in 2027 🔥

The director has a second draft of the script ready, aiming for a film that's big but weird and character-driven. It's set in the game's world but with new protagonists (familiar faces will appear). Kojima is closely involved, and A24 is producing. Shooting locations include Iceland and Northern Ireland.
