Following the release date and full cast announcement for A24's live-action Elden Ring movie, behind-the-scenes photos have been released that showcase a fan-favorite game location and a most-hated character.
In the photos, which were shared exclusively by Shortlist, we see numerous bits from the fantasy RPG. This includes a sign that says "Leyndell Streets," which refers to the game's Royal City location, a box of props labeled "Stormveil," another game location, and several hanging lanterns and cages that appear to resemble wizarding school Raya Lucaria. In another photo, we see a gallows beam that seems to match the game's opening cutscene when the Loathsome Dung Eater, a pretty vile NPC, is hanged.
The upcoming film is directed by Elden Ring super-fan Garland, who also penned the script. The cast includes Kit Connor (who starred in Garland's Warfare), Ben Whishaw (aka Paddington Bear), and Cailee Spaney (Alien: Romulus, Garland's Civil War), all of whom will topline the movie.
Article continues belowTom Burke (who Hideo Kojima loves) is also set to star, as well as Nick Offerman, who also starred in video game adaptation The Last of Us (in an Emmy-nominated episode, mind you). Since the set photos dropped, some fans have been joking that Offerman is playing the Dung Eater... though I kind of really want him to play Iron Fist Alexander (who is my favorite jar, if I had to pick a favorite out of all the video game jars in the world).
Elden Ring is set to hit theaters on March 3, 2028. For more, check out the upcoming video game movies and new PS5 games coming your way in 2026 and beyond.
