Filming on the Elden Ring movie may have concluded after only six months of production
Although we still wait for official word from Studio A24 and Bandai Namco, it appears that Alex Garland has successfully wrapped principal photography on this ambitious Elden Ring adaptation in just six months to keep the project on track for its 2028 release.

Filming for A24's cinematic adaptation of the video game Elden Ring has concluded. A social media post from prop artist Sean Schofield, which was later deleted, indicated that principal photography finished six months after production began in April. Schofield's post thanked the crew and confirmed the wrap on recordings. The production's swift timeline saw principal photography commence in April and conclude around July, aligning with an initial plan for approximately 100 days of shooting. This period, though seemingly brief for an adaptation of FromSoftware's ambitious and commercially successful title Elden Ring, will be followed by an extensive postproduction phase. The film is slated for a March 3, 2028, theatrical release in IMAX format. Elden Ring, released in 2022, was developed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and Yui Tanimura, earning numerous Game of the Year awards and selling over 30 million copies globally. George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire, contributed to the game's worldbuilding.
Alex Garland's Elden Ring Movie Cast Confirmed Despite Uncertain Production Status
The film is written and directed by Alex Garland, known for his work on Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Civil War. The cast includes Havana Rose Liu, Kit Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Ben Whishaw, Nick Offerman, Tom Burke, Sonoya Mizuno, Emma Laird, Peter Serafinowicz, and Jonathan Pryce. George R.R. Martin is also serving as a producer on the film. The substantial visual effects required to recreate Elden Ring's Lands Between, its iconic monsters, and bosses are a key component of the extensive postproduction process. A24 has made no official comment on the deleted announcement or confirmed the wrap of principal photography.
