Elden Ring film in production with new set photos

The film adaptation of Elden Ring is currently in full swing and has recently had several set photos leak online. Published by Shortlist, the images offer a look at filming taking place at Greenwich Naval College in South London. The shots reveal a medieval aesthetic that fits the game’s tone well.

Production and location

The film is being produced by A24, known for its ambitious projects. The shoot appears to use a green backdrop, which could point to visual effects such as the game’s iconic Erdtree. The set is clearly inspired by the world of Elden Ring.

One of the standout details on set is a series of labeled boxes. One box is marked “Leyndell Streets,” a major location in the game, since Leyndell is the Royal Capital beneath the Erdtree’s shadow. Another box labeled “Stormveil” refers to Stormveil Castle, the well-known fortress on the cliffs of Stormhill ruled by Godrick the Grafted.

Story elements and characters

The set photos also suggest that the Academy of Raya Lucaria will play a role in the film, along with the Dung Eater, one of the game’s more notable characters. This indicates the movie will not only explore the world of Elden Ring, but also introduce some of its key figures.

Cast and budget

A24 has just announced the Elden Ring film’s release date, which is set for March 3, 2028. The full cast list has also been revealed, with actors including Kit Connor, Ben Whishaw, and Emma Laird, who may play Queen Marika.

There is speculation about which roles these actors will take on, with earlier set photos showing a statue that matches Marika, further fueling the rumors.

It was recently reported that the film’s budget is more than $100 million, making it A24’s biggest and most ambitious production to date. That means the studio is investing heavily in the film’s quality and impact. The movie is expected to require around 100 days of shooting, pointing to a large-scale production.

The Elden Ring film will be made under the guidance of Hidetaka Miyazaki of FromSoftware, with a story based on a mythological tale by George R. R. Martin. Writer and director Alex Garland has already shared his love for the game, even describing how he experiences its hardest enemies to defeat.

In the coming months, audiences will no doubt learn more about this promising project, including new updates on the cast, production, and core storylines.
