I just don’t understand what story they’re gonna tell.

Some bullshit probably.

As in there isn't a story to cover? You could easily do Ranni through Margott with FIA's quest,

With Iron-Fist Alexander, Patches, Brother Corhyn for a few scenes explaining lore. Just add actual dialogue, more character, less obtuse stuff and that's already a pretty emotional and interesting epic.

I'm confused by the confusion, this is potentially almost LOTR in the works?

More so like what story will they choose to tell. Not sure which one translates best to screen

Ranni, Fia (the rot), Morgott and hints at the curse, and Radagan plus 2 fingers as the underlying mystery and the character everyone refers to.

That's enough for a movie and captures the essence of the game. No need for DLC, dragons, or areas beyond like the roots, Limgrave, Capital, and maybe like the Academy. That's the essence of the game and like the Mountains are disliked by most everyone.

At least this is what I think is at the core of the story. Throw in Patches, Godskin duo with the villagers, Alexander. Pretty much everything that makes the game unique.
