Elden Ring Movie Wraps Filming — Release Still Set for March 2028

A24's Elden Ring film has finished principal photography, confirmed through a since-deleted Instagram post by prop artist Sean Schofield. Director Alex Garland and producers Allon Reich, Matthew Penry-Davey, Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Charlie Reed sent a wrap message to the cast and crew thanking them for "bringing this unique project to life."

Schofield shared a photo of the message alongside an Elden Ring-branded backpack and a clapboard keychain — apparent wrap gifts — and called it a "dream job to end all dream jobs" after "six solid months of blood, sweat and tears." The post disappeared mid-reporting, and his profile went private shortly after, suggesting the news got out ahead of schedule. Production kicked off in Spring 2026, and the film is still targeting a March 3, 2028 release, leaving well over a year for what will almost certainly be a heavy post-production workload given the CGI demands of adapting the Lands Between.

The wrap news follows a wave of set photo leaks from April that gave the first real look at the film's direction. Those photos showed the execution of the Dung Eater and Queen Marika — played by Emma Laird — pointing toward a story set before the events of the game, during or before The Shattering. Box labels on set also hinted at locations including Leyndell, Stormveil Castle, and the Academy of Raya Lucaria. The cast is stacked: Nick Offerman, Havana Rose Liu, Jonathan Pryce, Peter Serafinowicz, and Cailee Spaeny all have roles, and the reported budget clears $100 million.

With filming done, attention shifts to post-production and whenever A24 decides to start the marketing push. Given the March 2028 window, a first trailer could still be many months away — but the wrap at least confirms the project is on schedule.
