Overview
- Bandai Namco and A24, in a Monday announcement, set March 3, 2028 for the Elden Ring film’s theatrical debut and confirmed a “Filmed for IMAX” release with production beginning this spring.
- The confirmed ensemble includes Kit Connor, Ben Whishaw, Cailee Spaeny, Tom Burke, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonathan Pryce, Nick Offerman, Ruby Cruz, Havana Rose Liu, John Hodgkinson, Jefferson Hall, Emma Laird, and Peter Serafinowicz, with roles not yet disclosed.
- Alex Garland is writing and directing the live-action adaptation with guidance from FromSoftware director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and producers include George R. R. Martin, Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, and Vince Gerardis.
- Industry reporting describes the project as budgeted well over $100 million and notes on-the-ground plans that start in the U.K. with additional location work in Iceland later in the year.
- “Filmed for IMAX” means the movie is captured and finished to optimize image and sound for IMAX screens, which can include a taller aspect ratio, so audiences should expect a larger-scale presentation of the game’s world that has sold over 30 million copies.
