Why This Matters

The upcoming Elden Ring movie, set for release in 2028, marks a significant crossover between gaming and Hollywood, highlighting the growing influence of video game franchises in mainstream entertainment. With a notable cast and a renowned director like Alex Garland, this film could set new standards for cinematic adaptations of video games, impacting both the industry and consumer expectations.

Key Takeaways

Bandai Namco and A24 have announced that the Elden Ring movie will hit theaters on March 3, 2028. Filming is set to begin in the next several weeks. The movie was first revealed over a year ago , so this is a welcome update.

We also got a full cast announcement, though the companies haven't said who or what everyone is portraying. The cast includes Kit Connor from Heartstopper, Ben Whishaw from the beloved Paddington movies and Cailee Spaeny from Alien: Romulus. Peter Serafinowicz, Jonathan Pryce, Nick Offerman and Sonoya Mizuno will also appear in the film.

Elden Ring will be written and directed by Alex Garland, fresh off the harrowing Civil War. Garland has directed plenty of sci-fi, with credits like Ex Machina, Annihilation and the woefully underrated TV show Devs . He hasn't, however, made any legit fantasy, so we'll have to see how he handles the magic-filled continent known as The Lands Between.
