Serafinowicz, best known for his roles in Shaun of the Dead, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, shared his passion for the Dark Souls series in a recent interview with British comedian Russell Howard.

He spoke at length about the game’s notorious difficulty, stating, ‘Once that clicks, it’s like, oh my god, this is the game I’ve been waiting for my whole life.’ Serafinowicz went on to explain how the game’s challenging nature makes it one of the most rewarding experiences in the world of gaming.

In a surprising twist, Serafinowicz revealed that he landed one of the most iconic roles in the Dark Souls series – the voice behind the male character’s death sounds and pain grunts. He explained how he ‘basically bullied’ his way into a voice acting role in Dark Souls 2, having been so enamored with the first game.

Fast-forward to the present, and Serafinowicz has found himself cast in the upcoming Elden Ring movie, directed by fellow Dark Souls superfan Alex Garland. The two met at a chance encounter several years ago, where they bonded over their shared love of the game.

Garland, who is currently directing the live-action adaptation of FromSoftware’s 30-million-selling video game, has spoken out about his own love for the series. In an interview with IGN, he revealed that he had completed an epic 160-page draft of the script and had flown to Japan to pitch the movie himself.

The cast of the movie is headlined by Cailee Spaeny, Ben Whishaw, and Nick Offerman, among others. The film is being produced under the guidance of FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki and is based on a mythological story written by Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin.

Garland’s passion for the series is evident, as he revealed in an interview with IGN that Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is the toughest foe in the game. He attributed his success in defeating her to the ‘monkeys and typewriters’ technique, where he simply kept trying until she was dead.

The movie is set to hit theaters on March 3, 2028, and promises to be an epic adaptation of the beloved video game.
