The Elden Ring Movie Has Officially Wrapped Filming, and the Producers Are Thanking the Team Who Brought It to Life

Principal photography appears to be complete

Principal photography on Elden Ring appears to have wrapped, based on a now-deleted Instagram post from prop artist Sean Schofield. As our sister site IGN Middle East reports, Schofield shared a message addressed to the film’s cast and crew from Alex Garland and producers Allon Reich, Matthew Penry-Davey, Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Charlie Reed.

“Thank you for your incredibly hard work on Elden Ring,” the message read. It praised the crew’s “skill, dedication, and all-round professionalism” in “bringing this unique project to life,” before wishing everyone a “well-earned rest.”

Schofield called the production a “dream job to end all dream jobs” and described six months spent making props for the film. His post subsequently disappeared, and neither A24 nor Bandai Namco has issued a formal statement declaring that filming is complete. The evidence points towards the main shoot being finished, but the studio has yet to place its own seal on the news.

Post-production is the next boss fight

The reported filming wrap gives the production more than a year to complete editing, visual effects, sound, and scoring before its scheduled theatrical release on 3 March 2028. Production began in spring 2026, and the movie was filmed for IMAX, leaving Garland and his team a substantial amount of work before the Lands Between reaches the big screen.

Elden Ring is built around enormous landscapes, elaborate creatures, and fantasy architecture, so post-production was always going to carry a formidable share of the load. The cameras may be down, but anyone who has played a FromSoftware game knows the first apparent victory rarely means the job is finished.

The 3 March 2028 date remains the clearest marker for audiences. No streaming platform or post-theatrical release plan has been announced, so the confirmed plan remains a cinema and IMAX release.

A24 has assembled a formidable cast

Alex Garland is writing and directing the live-action adaptation for A24 in partnership with Bandai Namco Entertainment. The announced cast includes Kit Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Ben Whishaw, Nick Offerman, Havana Rose Liu, Jonathan Pryce, and Peter Serafinowicz, with Deadline detailing the release date and cast announcement.

The film adapts FromSoftware’s game, co-created by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin. Garland therefore has the enviable little task of translating one of gaming’s densest fantasy worlds without turning the result into a two-hour lore lecture delivered beside a suspiciously important tree.

Earlier leaked UK set footage from the Elden Ring production suggested that familiar locations and characters could feature, while also raising the possibility of a story set before the game. Those details remain unconfirmed, and the studio has not revealed an official synopsis.

For now, the reported wrap is meaningful progress rather than a promise that footage is imminent. Elden Ring has moved from building the Lands Between on set to shaping it in post-production — and that may be where this adaptation truly earns its runes.
