New Report Sparks Hope for Live-Action ‘Bloodborne’ Movie

A live-action Bloodborne movie may still be on the way, and they are still looking for a director. According to a new report from industry insider Daniel Richtman, the project hasn’t been scrapped and is still quietly moving forward.

Bloodborne, the dark and challenging game released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4, was created by FromSoftware and published by Sony. The story follows a character known as the Hunter who travels through a gloomy, dangerous city called Yharnam.

The city is haunted by horrifying creatures, and the people living there are turning into monsters because of a strange disease. The Hunter sets out to find what’s behind this nightmare.

There’s no director tied to the movie yet, which suggests Sony hasn’t chosen who will lead it. But according to previous reports, writer Darren Lemke was supposed to handle the script. He’s worked on action-packed and fantasy-based stories like Shazam! and Goosebumps.

Also attached to the movie is producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, who has experience with big movie franchises like Transformers and G.I. Joe, and video game adaptations like DOOM and Dead Rising.

A leaked description of the movie says it will follow the Hunter as they explore the twisted streets of Yharnam. The city is full of danger, from beast-like citizens to strange creatures from beyond. The character tries to solve the mystery of the disease while surviving in this violent world.

Sony has not confirmed any of this. Since the company hasn’t touched the Bloodborne game in years—no remakes, no updates, and no PC port—some fans are shocked to hear that a movie might be in the works. Still, Daniel Richtman is seen as a reliable source, which is why this report has caught attention.

Even if the movie is real, nothing is official yet. Plans can always change. Until Sony speaks up, fans will have to stay patient and hopeful.
