The Wall Street Journal reports that Alex Garland's live-action Elden Ring adaptation for A24 carries a budget of nearly $200 million, nearly triple the studio's previous record-holder Marty Supreme at $70 million. This places the FromSoftware adaptation in blockbuster territory alongside Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home and Jurassic World Rebirth, marking a massive financial gamble for the arthouse studio known for modest-budget prestige films.
Leaked behind-the-scenes footage suggests Conwy Castle in Wales is a filming location for the upcoming Elden Ring movie, directed by Alex Garland, slated for a 2028 release. The historic castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, may represent a location from the game, though specifics are debated among fans. This leak follows previous hints at the movie's production, including recognizable characters and settings.
