Elden Ring is already filming at A24’s London production, and leaked set photos and videos are giving away far more than the studio probably wanted. The movie is due on March 3, 2028, and the leaks point to a film that’s not just borrowing the game’s look, but putting major locations and characters front and centre. That matters because fans can now see how Alex Garland seems to be translating FromSoftware’s world into live action.
Shortlist’s set photos place the production at Old Royal Naval College in South London, where the site appears to stand in for Leyndell, the Royal Capital. A24 has already set the release date for March 3, 2028, which gives the studio plenty of time to finish a project that still has a lot of secrets around it. For players, the real hook is simple: these leaks suggest Garland isn’t making a vague fantasy riff, but a film that reaches straight for some of Elden Ring’s most recognisable sights and names.
About Elden Ring
A24 is producing the Elden Ring movie adaptation, and writer-director Alex Garland is handling the film. The studio announced a March 3, 2028 release date on Monday, and it also revealed a cast that includes Kit Connor, 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. That cast list gives the adaptation some real weight, even if A24’s announcement stayed light on story details.
For players, that matters because a film like this lives or dies on whether it feels like Elden Ring or just another prestige fantasy project with the name slapped on. A24’s casting and Garland’s involvement suggest the studio wants something more deliberate than a quick brand exercise. The leaks now give that promise some shape, and they point to a production that understands which parts of the game fans will clock immediately.
Leyndell, Stormveil Castle, and the Academy of Raya Lucaria
The leaked set photos show Old Royal Naval College being used for more than one location. The site apparently stands in for Leyndell, the Royal Capital, and the images back that up with Leyndell Knight armor, embroidered Erdtree banners, and college windows dressed in the wax-sealed coverings seen in the game. In practical terms, that means the film is chasing the game’s grand, ceremonial look rather than stripping the city down into generic fantasy stonework.
