Elden Ring movie sets 2028 release date, full cast, and confirms it will be filmed for IMAX

A24's live-action Elden Ring movie finally has a release date and a full cast list.

According to a press release, Elden Ring is set to hit theaters on March 3, 2028, and will be shot in IMAX. The upcoming film, based on the popular fantasy action RPG of the same name, is directed by Alex Garland, who also penned the script (who created a 160-page script to present to FromSoftware and the creators of the video game in order to obtain their blessing).

Prior to this announcement, we knew that Kit Connor (who starred in Garland's Warfare), Ben Whishaw (aka Paddington Bear), and Cailee Spaney (Alien: Romulus, Garland's Civil War) were reported to be starring.

The full cast list includes Tom Burke (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga), Havana Rose Liu (Lurker), Sonoya Mizuno (Ex Machina), Jonathan Pryce (The Crown), Ruby Cruz (Bottoms), Nick Offerman (The Last of Us), John Hodgkinson (Napoleon), Jefferson Hall (House of the Dragon), Emma Laird (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple), and Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy).

George R. R. Martin, author and creator of Game of Thrones, also serves as producer (and helped develop the world of Elden Ring). Garland, who famously wrote 28 Days Later and has a knack for directing dystopian action pics, has played Elden Ring upwards of seven times and even schooled a reporter about the game (without so much as stuttering, mind you).
