Elden Ring: film production in full swing with set photos

Production on the Elden Ring film is currently in full swing. A24, the film’s producer, recently released a number of set photos that offer a glimpse at this promising adaptation of the popular game. Fans can look forward to an exciting behind-the-scenes look with images that reveal both the scale of the production and key details.

Production details

The Elden Ring film is being directed by Alex Garland, known for his work on projects such as Ex Machina and Civil War . The script, written in collaboration with Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin, is meant to do justice to the game’s mythology. The film has a budget of more than $100 million and filming is planned to last around 100 days. That makes it A24’s biggest and most ambitious film production to date.

Set photos and visual style

The set photos, taken at Greenwich Naval College in South London, show a medieval aesthetic that matches the game’s visual style. One notable detail is a green backdrop that may be used for visual effects, such as the imposing Erdtree. Boxes on set are labeled with names like 'Leyndell Streets' and 'Stormveil', suggesting that major locations from the game will appear in the film.

Characters and cast

One of the most notable cast members is Emma Laird, who is believed to be playing Queen Marika. There are also leaked images showing the Dung Eater in costume. These events appear to be an important part of the story and may be tied to events that take place before the game, especially before the Shattering, the war that plunged the Lands Between into chaos.

The full cast includes a mix of familiar faces, including Kit Connor, Ben Whishaw, and Jonathan Pryce. It looks like the film will take a deep dive into the lore and characters that fans of the game love so much.

Fan reaction

Reactions to the leaked images are a mix of excitement and confusion. Fans are eager to see how the world of Elden Ring is brought to life, but also surprised by the speed and scale of the leaks. The film production is in the spotlight not only because of A24’s involvement, but also thanks to director Alex Garland, who is himself an avid player of the game.

Garland has previously spoken about his love for the game and the challenge of beating it, especially against the difficulty of enemies like Malenia, Blade of Miquella.

Conclusion

The upcoming Elden Ring film promises to be an epic adventure that stays true to the game’s roots. With a strong cast, a high budget, and the experience of A24 and Alex Garland, there is a lot to look forward to. It will be interesting to see how the film develops ahead of its planned March 3, 2028 release.
