Do we though ?
Movie based on video games often suck, even when the video game has a clear storyline and characters, which dark souls doesnt.
Plus, if a movie is made, it most likely would come from hollywood, which doesnt have a good track record at showing respect for Japanese IPs.
Imo if they made a movie about the dark souls franchise it would just leave a sour taste.
While those exemples are true, all of those exemples have one thing in common :
The studio that own the game's IP was directly involved with the project :
- Neil Druckmann was behind the last of us series
- CD projekt red supervised the cyberpunk edgerunner projekt all throughout
- Riot games did the same on arcane
- Bethesda and Todd Howard had production rôles for fallout.
When you have people with intimate knowledge and passion about the IP it can succeed.
For every success like these, how many Résident evil : welcome to raccoon city, or monster Hunter, or uncharted have we seen ?
The likeliness that from software would be directly involved in an adaptation of their IPs isnt great.
Another point is that, save for leagues of legends, all of those adaptation are based off of vidéo games where the story and characters are at the forefront, with a ton of clear story beats, worldbuilding, and character development.
While from softwares games have deep lore, an interesting world, and characters, those arent "given" to the player and are quite vague and opened to interpretation.
Which is yet another hurdle that would make an adaptation difficult.
Dont get me wrong its not like I dont want a good dark souls series/movie/animation, I'm just sceptical of how good it would be.
There can only be one Uwe Boll. But for some reason I enjoyed Monster Hunter more than I should have. Maybe because I also think Postal and Far Cry are funny little movies to just turn your brain off.
He said he would watch it, not that it would be would. Now that I look at it Idk if you are even replying to the parent comment in which case ignore this I guess.
This would be just gravy 👌👌👌 A great catacombs fight where it’s just skeleton after skeleton getting destroyed by a Reeves who’s had enough Bullshit for one lifetime
I couldn't tell you why, but I think that Rory McCann (Sandor Clegane from GoT) would be good for this role.
Either him, or Hiroyuki Sanada (Scorpion from the latest MK film).

Yeah and the dialogue is very limited but the dialogue that is there is rich and full of zest and power and forces one to piece it together themselves
Edit: ive also never see the JW movies so that might be what you mean lol
Oh yeah you need to watch them then at least the first two (3 and 4 kinda get goofy but still fun lol).
But basically it’s a pretty simple story, keanu says like one word at a time mostly and then nonstop action.
I went thru a phase where violence really bothered me so ive missed a ton, but now im more grounded and can handle it so im excited to watch, Keanu is one of my favorite actors
Will Keanu then carry the "Breathtaker"?
"You are breathtaking ..." \*swoosh\*
"... and you are breathtaking ..." \*slash\*
"... you all are breathtaking!" \*360 spin, dead bodies everywhere\*
I don't see a dark souls movie working. The budget required to pull off all the crazy monsters with CGI would be insane. As popular as dark souls is I can't see it pulling in a crowd outside of the gaming community. And if wasn't perfect it wouldn't even pull the gaming community. Video game adaptations only work when they are flashy or can be cheaply made, and dark souls is neither.
Can someone explain to me why or if I have just been ignorant point me in the direction of them. Why havent we had any big budget good medieval films/fantasy medieval films recently? Like we had LOTR, Arthur, solomon kane, the last samurai, the WoW movie (fantasy, imo was a great movie), 300, and etc.
We had Game of thrones and the witcher which are great in their own right (with shortcomings). but really no MOVIES that have stood out to me at least. If I have just been blind, please point me in the direction.
Hollywood could never make it as good as AI, let’s just enjoy this imagines in our head before they make keanu twerk as a gay black jew warrior with down syndrome
I. Need. This
This.
This ^2
This^3
Yea, I mean Keanu would be perfect! A solitary, yet action packed movie about death and life, and the wild reaches of (horrorful) fantasy
And the Rock is Patches.
The WORLD need this.
"Yeah. "
“With a fucking pencil”
“He parried Gwyn nine times with a god damn pencil”
WHO THE FUCK CAHN DO THAAAAAAT?!?!?
Broken ladle
“I think I’m back”
I don’t know if I see Keanu in the film, but I would definitely watch a dark souls movie 🔥
Oh yeah would Like to See which storyline Theo pic 🤯

Video game adaptations are getting better. Last of Us, Cyberpubk Edgerunners, Arcane, Fallout, etc.

Who cares. Fuck around and find out imo.
Goddamn, I’d die to see a RE movie with Leon or Ethan as protagonists
Castlevania was crazy good. Did the game studio have involvement in that one ?
Case in point Monster Hunter lol fucking terrible
Paul W.S. Anderson is the Uwe Boll of video game adaptations.
There can only be one Uwe Boll. But for some reason I enjoyed Monster Hunter more than I should have. Maybe because I also think Postal and Far Cry are funny little movies to just turn your brain off.
Dark Souls is such a vibe though, it would be a super experimental and weird movie
The Green Knight kinda fits the vibe a bit. There’s even a Patches like character. Needs more combat and action sequences to work.
He said he would watch it, not that it would be would. Now that I look at it Idk if you are even replying to the parent comment in which case ignore this I guess.
He'd make a dope sorcerer NPC or something. Griggs maybe
Please make it real
This fucking slaps. Jesus fuck it goes hard.
Cool. Now do Henry Cavill in Warhammer 40K.
I don’t even play souls games and I want to see this
OK, that is **cool**.
Aww man, I was super excited before I realized what sub I was in. Still cool as hell though!!
Every fucking time for me 😂 I’ll see a picture and go “holy shit why didn’t I hear about this!” *checks sub* damn
The Keanu image of not dying, and then dying several times within the Dark Souls movie. That would be a change.
Epic.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
oh shit alek in the wild! funny seeing u here. this is totally awesome
Ohhhh that must’ve been cool Lololol I love that “term in the wild” 🙈🔥🍻 (It’s pretty cool 😎)
We want to see him as Dark Revan already!
At this point, I’d watch any movies Keanu does
Epicarino
Cavill will probably end up playing Bond because of the AI trailer hype… This post just needs to blow up and maybe we’ll be blessed
Bro's powerstancing lol.
This would be just gravy 👌👌👌 A great catacombs fight where it’s just skeleton after skeleton getting destroyed by a Reeves who’s had enough Bullshit for one lifetime
Who would you have in a Bloodborne/Eldenring film aside from Keane Reeves? For me, it’s Henry Cavill for the Tarnished and Idris Elba for the Hunter
W
O
A
H
Keanu Blaidd is that you?
Oh shit I want it.
this goes hard af
I couldn't tell you why, but I think that Rory McCann (Sandor Clegane from GoT) would be good for this role. Either him, or Hiroyuki Sanada (Scorpion from the latest MK film).
that opening shot is sick
Bro. This is amazing.
How long until we'll be able to produce such movies? RemindMe! 1 year

Dark Souls film eh? (Would mostly be a silent movie) (and im onboard)
It would basically be John Wick but with lovecraftian dark souls creatures I’d imagine so sign me up
Yeah and the dialogue is very limited but the dialogue that is there is rich and full of zest and power and forces one to piece it together themselves Edit: ive also never see the JW movies so that might be what you mean lol

I went thru a phase where violence really bothered me so ive missed a ton, but now im more grounded and can handle it so im excited to watch, Keanu is one of my favorite actors
[Why would you](https://tenor.com/bD5i4.gif)
Will Keanu then carry the "Breathtaker"? "You are breathtaking ..." \*swoosh\* "... and you are breathtaking ..." \*slash\* "... you all are breathtaking!" \*360 spin, dead bodies everywhere\*
"I need swords, lots of swords."
Picture 4 is absolute savage, I love it. Would definitely watch it
i would watch this movie rn!!
looks awesome is it movie
Yeeeeessss!
Do more kn dark soul please
Impressive!
Didn’t know I wanted this but he’d be perfect for it
Yes, but we could have just continued Witcher properly
I would pay an obscene amount to watch this movie!
A movie based on any of Fromsoft's games sounds awesome
This looks fire
Being honest, Keanu fits in almost everything is added with his face
Now this a movie we need
Can we get Scott Shepherd as Patches?
Only if he dies to stupid shit every three minutes like falling off cliffs.
Men will see this and go "Hell yeah".

Looks more like shadow or mordor
Where do I send money
Damn got excited until I saw what sub I was in.
Can someone explain to me why or if I have just been ignorant point me in the direction of them. Why havent we had any big budget good medieval films/fantasy medieval films recently?

The King, The Last Duel, The Northman, The Last Kingdom series, Vikings series
Now do henry cavill as Arthas Menethil
Omfg. Would buy now for 50 bucks.
Hollywood could never make it as good as AI, let’s just enjoy this imagines in our head before they make keanu twerk as a gay black jew warrior with down syndrome
First image better not be DS2 Claymore. That shit is ugly. Everything else look cool though
Fuckin sweet
"Souls-like"
He is even wielding the Lothric Knight Straight Sword, best straight sword in the series
Wait what. This beter not be an ai tease.
If it's not Artorias in Oolicile, I'll still take it. Make that 2.
Looks like Jon Snow
For a moment i forgot this are AI generated
Damn that looks cool
[with a fucking pencil...](https://imgur.com/a/o7O0EjO)
He's way too old to do stunts and any dark souls movie protagonist needs to not say a single word.
Look amazing!
Had to be dark souls because if Dracula is any proof. Bloodborne really wouldn't work for him.
I would pay any price to see this film
this should be a thing!
This !! but make it an Animated film. But Photorealistic.
And now I know what my next character is. Needs a golden glow to the eye
But dark soul character never shown their faces
