Elden Ring film gets a high budget and cast confirmation
The upcoming film adaptation of Elden Ring, directed by Alex Garland and produced by A24, has received a budget of more than $100 million. That makes Elden Ring A24's biggest and most ambitious project to date. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on March 3, 2028.
Production details
According to sources, around 100 days of principal photography are planned, giving the production a substantial scale. A24 has previously spent heavily on its projects, but Elden Ring is setting a new benchmark in terms of cost.
Cast
Last week, the film's full cast was announced. The lead role goes to Cailee Spaeny, known for Alien: Romulus and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Other confirmed actors include Ben Whishaw, Kit Connor, Peter Serafinowicz, and Nick Offerman. The specific roles for these actors have not yet been revealed, further fueling fan curiosity.
Creative influences
The film adaptation is being developed under the supervision of Hidetaka Miyazaki of FromSoftware, and is based on a mythological story written by George R. R. Martin, known for Game of Thrones. The collaboration between Martin and Garland has raised expectations among audiences, especially given the strong critical acclaim and fandom surrounding the Elden Ring game itself.
