Elden Ring Film: Gathering Information on the adaption of FromSoftware's acclaimed video game into a cinematic production
A24 and Bandai Namco Entertainment announced in May 2025 that an Elden Ring movie adaptation is in the works, generating excitement among fans of the popular 2022 action RPG game. The film, which is currently in the early stages of pre-production, is set to bring the game’s dark fantasy world to the big screen.
Director and writer Alex Garland, known for films like Ex Machina (2014), Annihilation (2018), and Men (2022), will helm the project. Garland has previously worked in the video game space, with writing credits on Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and serving as story supervisor on DmC: Devil May Cry.
No official casting announcements have been made, but reports suggest that Kit Connor, who gained recognition from the series Heartstopper, is being considered for a lead role. The specific storyline and characters to be featured in the film are yet to be revealed.
There is currently no confirmed release date for the Elden Ring movie, though if it follows a similar path to The Legend of Zelda movie (announced in late 2023 and set for release in March 2027), fans may expect the film in 2027, depending on when filming begins.
George R. R. Martin, who co-developed the original Elden Ring game’s world and story, is attached as a producer. The game's rich lore and dark fantasy elements are expected to be preserved in the movie adaptation, though specific plot details remain under wraps.
It remains to be seen how closely the film will follow the source material or whether it will delve into the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. One popular characterrequested by fans is Vyke, whose story provides an intricate look into The Lands Between's history and the politics that drove its characters.
Charles Dance, famous for performances like Game of Thrones' Tywin Lannister, has been proposed by fans to play the part of Gideon, the All-Knowing. As a darker take on the player's Tarnished, Gideon could offer a compelling entry point into the game's world and lore.
As the Elden Ring movie continues through its stages of development, fans can look forward to updates at major gaming events like Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards, where it is likely that official announcements will be made.
