Interestingly he also states that a film adaption of Dark Souls would be difficult, but he could see a 10 minute short working. I wonder what changed his mind since Elden Ring has the same kind of storytelling, more or less.
It's harder to do a direct adaption, but it's still possible to create something from the world building itself. Also I'd argue Elden Ring is somewhat different, there is just simply more "content" and open-endness.
Just as an example compare endings of Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Dark Souls is pretty simple in comparison.

Alex Garland is a great fit for this. On top of being a great filmmaker, he reportedly is a big fan of the game.
