So the "Green Knight" movie looks like it's heavily inspired by Dark Souls

[headspawn]

Going with no, but kudos for bringing this movie to my attention, that soundtrack has me salivating, that's my shit.

 

[Garlic]

You should have learned about King Arthur in school, right

 

[poptire]

Are we finally getting a sequel to Black Knight!?

One of my buddies had a Berenstain moment where he SWORE Martin Lawrence was in a King Arthur movie called "Mertlin", like a combo of Martin and Merlin.

I don't even think that counts because it's not a common misconception. Your friend is just nuts.

Finally the Dark Souls of movies are upon us! Looking forward to the coming soulsbornekiro movie.

That he is.

I want a Mertlin movie now because of him though.

Not until we get our Sinbad genie movie

 

[Onilink]

The life is ispired by Dark Souls

 

[WadeIt0ut]

I still can't believe I never knew Elder Scrolls 3 was based on Dark Souls

 

[Keyser S]

There is an episode of Doctor Who called Heaven Sent that seems more inspired by the uniqueness of Dark Souls than this ever will be

 

[newmoneytrash]

please just engage with literately any other fiction

 

[Deleted member 31133]

Watched trailer. Didn't think of Dark Souls (or Demon's Souls) once.

Sorry OP.

 

[Kwigo]

Some people really need to broaden their culture

 

[ToddBonzalez]

Not seeing it, OP, sorry. They both have a creepy medieval fantasy vibe? But that's kind of it.

 

[Dream Machine]

If that green ent knight isn't trying to make the main character fuck his wife, I'm out.

 

[Akainu]

No.

 

[Darkstorne]

You should check out the Indiana Jones films too! Clearly inspired by Uncharted.

 

[Morrigan]

lol bet you OP did this on purpose and y'all got played xD

 

[Dennis8K]

Nope, not at all.

Dark Souls didn't invent Dark Fantasy. Gamers, don't embarrass me.

The Dark Souls of This Summer

I'm partially with you OP, it's taking some of Souls' atmosphere for sure. Might be by chance, might be on purpose.

 

[RPTGB]

Sometimes, just sometimes, it's a nice idea to turn the console off and go for a walk, read a book or watch a film...anything to broaden your horizon and points of reference a bit.

 

[Piichan]

I thought of Dark Souls too. People in this thread need to get of their high horse.

And what better way to do that than watching a movie inspired by Dark Souls

 

[dodo]

this is hilarious because

1. no, obviously, but

2. the guy ritchie king arthur movie that came out a couple years ago has a CGI boss fight with a respawn mechanic and circle strafing

 

[JohnDamien]

This is the reason why i am not a huge fan of the dark souls community. Some people really think these games are the centre of the universe. I will never forget how a german website (i forgot who it was) said that Monster Hunter World is inspired by Dark Souls. Like... wtf? A series way older than Dark Souls...

It is pretty annoying.

 

[Isee]

For strange reasons I expected a dude "fat rolling" in the trailer.

But I think you may be on to something. Dark Souls is such a cultural phenomenon that its art style has started to flow over into architecture and art.
Dark Fantasy is the new black.

 

[Mr Delabee]

Everyone knows it's the first film in the Castle Crashers cinematic universe.

Shows the origin of the Green Knight.

 

[ffvorax]

Sorry but to me it doenst look at all like DS...
DS is a ruined world, were there are merely human beings... dark and magic.

 

[dom]

Nope, not at all.

If it didn't invent Dark Fantasy, where did they get the Dark from then? HMMMMMMMMM

Spoiler

 

[Zor]

Would be nice if OP came back to this backfire and at least gave examples of why he thinks the film looks like Dark Souls.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

On a side note: holy shit, that's a poorly edited trailer.
It felt completely amateurish.

 

[Femto0]

Why is this thread still open?

 

[horkrux]

Well it clearly bears no resemblence to Dark Souls in particular whatsoever, but thanks for bringing this movie to my attention I guess LOL

 

[Rust]

...what? It physically doesn't. Berzerk is not a movie. You absolutely could look to it's presentation as a physical medium for inspiration for cinematic display, but that's not the same as the actual techniques used.

Click to shrink...

Wait, even if you reference the 90s TV show, Berserk still has cinematic properties. It doesn't have to be direct-to-cinema to be 'cinematic'.

 

[Detective Pidgey]

Come on, you got me hopeful for a second there.

To come back with anything but a looool I troll u would be silly at this point.

 

[Sanka]

Gamers were a mistake.

 

[Hentailover]

Even PRIMED by the OP to look at itthat way, i had to mentally grasp at straws to get dark soulsy vibes from this.

Depending on what they mean, MH could both be an old series and taking cues from Dark Souls in a new entry.

 

[Fatoy]

Good lord, no. What the hell is wrong with people? I like Dark Souls as much as the next person, but it does not have exclusive rights to medieval / gothic fantasy.

As for the film itself, A24 put out some hugely misleading trailers, but given that this comes from David Lowery - who has never made a bad film - I'm optimistic. I don't think I've seen Dev Patel play anything close to an "action" lead before, so I'm interested to see how that turns out as well.

 

[Kyuuji]

Could this be a losing sanity?

 

[Ojli]

Nah, I saw lip-synched people. That's not Souls

 

[BubblegumNemesis]

That's Dark Souls right? Im looking a Dark Souls inspired movie arent I?

Click to shrink...

Dark Souls invented King Arthur confirmed!

 

[Perzeval]

Did anyone contact the director yet?

 

[Rosebud]

lol I was expecting someone dying many times

And Berserk's take on fantasy is heavily inspired by the work of Michael Moorkcock's Eternal Champion Saga, in particular the Eric stories.
Everyone rips everyone else off :)

 

[Sawyer]

I was going to make a snarky reply but OP has been beaten to death already.

 

[Deleted member 18021]

Please read Gawain, it's good, I promise, lol

Tolkien did a version if you prefer.

I think Devilman is a more direct inspiration
