The Elden Ring movie is reportedly set to become A24's most expensive film ever.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie's budget is "well over" $100 million and filming is set to last around 100 days. It's a big move for a production company and distributor that's usually associated with small-scale comedies and dramas. Alex Garland is writing and directing the movie, which is based on the hit video game of the same name.
2025's Marty Supreme previously held the title for the A24 movie with the biggest price tag, with the Timothée Chalamet-led ping pong comedy-drama racking up $70 million of production costs. Before that, another Garland movie was in the top spot: Civil War, starring Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny, which had a budget of $50 million.
Garland is re-teaming with Spaeny, Warfare actor Kit Connor, and regular collaborator Sonoyo Mizuno for the project, and the cast also includes Ben Whishaw, Nick Offerman, Jonathan Pryce, Tom Burke, and Havana Rose Liu. Character details are still tightly under wraps.
Released in 2022, the game is set in a world called the Lands Between and follows the player on their quest to repair the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord. Our own Elden Ring review gave the game five stars: "presenting an expansive world that's as hostile as it is inviting. Despite the occasional excess, suffering has never been as much fun as this," our reviewer wrote.
The Elden Ring movie will arrive in theaters on March 3, 2028. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the other upcoming video game movies.
