A24 and Bandai Namco Entertainment have announced the live-action adaptation of the fantasy game “Elden Ring,” written and directed by Alex Garland, is being filmed for Imax, with a release date of March 3 2028 now set.
Kit Connor, who was already rumoured to star, has now been confirmed alongside a bumper cast that also includes Ben Whishaw, Cailee Spaeny, Tom Burke, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonathan Pryce, Ruby Cruz, Nick Offerman, John Hodgkinson, Jefferson Hall, Emma Laird and Peter Serafinowicz.

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.
