FromSoftware’s Elden Ring is easily one of the biggest new IPs to have risen this decade, with the 2022 open-world action-RPG selling in excess of 30 million copies – jumping all the way up to 45 million when accounting for its Erd Tree DLC and Nightreign spin-off. As such, it came as a relatively small surprise when it was announced that a film adaptation was in the works at A24. Following recent reports regarding the film’s status, we’ve now gotten a ton of official details, including its expected release date.

As reported by the publication Deadline, A24’s Elden Ring film (directed by Alex Garland) is set to premiere just under two years from now – arriving on the 3rd of March 2028. Said to be shot in IMAX, the project represents the most expensive film from A24, with TheHollywoodReporter claiming a budget of over $100 million.

Additionally, we also got our first full details regarding Elden Ring’s cast, with over a dozen actors having been selected, namely: Tom Burke; Havana Rose Liu; Sonoya Mizuno; Jonathan Pryce; Ruby Cruz; John Hodgkinson; Jefferson Hall; Emma Laird; Peter Serafinowicz; Kit Connor; Ben Whishaw; Cailee Spaeny and Nick Offerman. Unfortunately, we do not know who each of these will be portraying.

Alex Garland, for context, has directed a number of well-known projects including 2014’s Ex Machina; 2018’s Annihilation and most recently 2025’s Warfare. As a writer, Garland is known for the 28 Days Later franchise, while also having worked in the video games space; contributing to 2013’s DMC: Devil May Cry.

The narrative of Elden Ring (as with all FromSoftware games) is secondary to its lore, world and overall vibes. As such, it will be interesting to see how Garland and co. choose to adapt this game into a live-action medium. Hopefully we will start to see some set photos being released sooner rather than later.

Ex Machina, Civil War, Warfare, and 28 Years Later writer Alex Garland is leading the charge on an upcoming Elden Ring movie being made by A24 with Bandai Namco collaborating - this much we've known since May 2025.

In an effort to expand the IP further, it was officially announced last year that a film adaptation is in the works in partnership with A24. Though details remain light, filming for the much-anticipated project is reportedly set to begin this week.

As reported by the publication WorldofReel, A24’s Elden Ring film is gearing up to begin production, with reports claiming that sets are currently being built ahead of official filming some time this week.

The project was first announced last year alongside confirmation that the film will be written and directed by Alex Garland (with Peter Rice; Andrew Macdonald; Allon Reich and George R. R. Martin serving as producers).

Since then, we’ve gotten some ancillary details, including the fact that the film will star Kit Connor; Ben Whishaw; Cailee Spaeny – though their roles were not specified. Additionally, Garland confirmed that the script spans 160 pages and includes an extra 40 pages of visuals.
