‘Elden Ring’: Alex Garland’s A24 Video Game Movie Reveals Full Cast, 2028 Release Date and It’s Being Shot for Imax

It will be just 2hrs of our main character trying to get through an imp infested dungeon dying over and over again. Keeps the budget low.

Taking bets here! Over/under 25 dodge rolls in this movie?

Nike Offerman as Turtle Pope please 🤞

Cool, I didn't understand the story playing the game so hopefully I'll understand the story watching the movie.

That's a cool cast, especially some of the smaller roles like Nick Offerman, Jonathan Pryce and Peter Serafinowitz

Alex Garland‘s “Elden Ring” movie is landing in 2028 and it’s being shot for Imax. The live-action adaptation of the hit fantasy video game from A24 and Bandai Namco Entertainment is now in production, with release details and a full cast announced. The film is set for release March 3 2028 with “Heartstopper” breakout Kit Connor, who was already rumored as reuniting with Garland following “Warfare”, now confirmed. Connor will be joined by Ben Whishaw (“Black Doves,” “This is Going to Hurt”), Cailee Spaeny (“Alien: Romulus,””Civil War,” also from Garland), Tom Burke (“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” “Black Bag”) and Havana Rose Liu (“Tuner,” “Bottoms”). Other key casting additions include Sonoya Mizuno (“Ex Machina” and another former Garland collaborator), Jonathan Pryce (“The Two Popes,” “The Crown”), Ruby Cruz (“Bottoms,” “The Threesome”), Nick Offerman (“The Last of Us,” “Margo’s Got Money Troubles”), John Hodgkinson (“Dear England,” “Napoleon”), Jefferson Hall (“House of the Dragon,” “Oppenheimer”), Emma Laird (“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” “A Haunting in Venice”) and Peter Serafinowicz (“Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”). Peter Rice is set to produce the film alongside Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich from DNA, as well as George R. R. Martin and Vince Gerardis. One of the most critically-acclaimed video games ever made, the dark fantasy-action RPG debuted in 2022 and was developed under the direction of FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki, based on a mythological story by Martin. It has since sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide and received over 400 Game of the Year awards. Garland is understood to have been a longtime fan of the game, and made a personal pitch to its publishers Bandai Namco and FromSoftware to bring it to screen.

I hope they use the story from the manga.

Maybe it's just me, but this feels like something that would do better as a series rather than a single movie?

I’m in the middle of playing this game (literally. I keep thinking I’m almost done but the progress meter is hopeless stuck at 50%. I don’t see how this is going to be a successful adaptation. The lore is both slight and vast, tough to do, and o don’t see how they can snip out things unless they just combine some characters.

My body is ready.
