A24 has officially revealed new details about the Elden Ring adaptation, directed by Alex Garland. Filming began this month and is expected to last approximately 100 days. The film will then enter a lengthy post-production phase and is set to hit theaters on March 3, 2028.
It was also announced that Elden Ring will be the most expensive project in A24's history. The film's total budget will exceed $100 million. The studio clearly spared no expense in its attempt to create a large-scale fantasy blockbuster, demonstrating its confidence in the brand after FromSoftware's original game sold over 30 million copies worldwide.
Along with these details, the studio unveiled an expanded cast. Tom Burke, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonathan Pryce, Emma Laird, and others joined the previously announced Kit Connor, Ben Whishaw, Cailee Spaeny, and Nick Offerman. The actors' roles have not yet been revealed, but according to leaks from the set, the film will tell the backstory of the Elden Ring world rather than directly adapt the game's events; Emma Laird will play Queen Marika.
