Elden Ring Movie Officially Wraps Filming as Alex Garland’s Fantasy Epic Enters Post Production : Coastal House Media

The journey through the Lands Between has reached a major milestone.

According to a crew member who worked on the production, A24’s highly anticipated live action Elden Ring movie has officially wrapped filming after approximately six months of production. While fans still have a long wait before the film arrives in theaters on March 3, 2028, the completion of principal photography means the ambitious adaptation now moves into post production.

The news came from a now-deleted Instagram post by crew member Sean Schofield, who shared what appeared to be a thank you package from director Alex Garland and several of the film’s producers. Alongside the image, Schofield reflected on his experience working on the project.

“Dream job to end all dream jobs.”

He continued by praising everyone involved with the production.

“6 solid months of blood, sweat and tears making the coolest stuff ever, working alongside the best of the best. Can’t share anything else for a very long time, but I couldn’t be more proud of what we did.”

Although plot details remain tightly guarded, the adaptation is shaping up to be one of the biggest projects in A24’s history. The film stars Kit Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Ben Whishaw, Nick Offerman, Tom Burke, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Emma Laird, Peter Serafinowicz, and Jonathan Pryce, bringing together an impressive ensemble to explore the dark fantasy world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin.

One reason fans have remained optimistic about the adaptation is Garland himself. Long before production began, the filmmaker made it clear that he wasn’t simply taking on another blockbuster. He’s an actual Elden Ring player who has spent hundreds of hours in the Lands Between.

During an AMA, Garland admitted:

“I’m on ng+6 currently. Don’t even want to think about the hours I’ve clocked up. Can’t seem to stop playing.”

He later doubled down on his love for the game during an appearance on IGN Unfiltered, revealing that he was already on his seventh playthrough and joking that he always gravitates toward a dexterity, magic, and parry build.

That level of familiarity has given many fans confidence that Garland understands what makes Elden Ring so special. Rather than simply recreating the game’s monsters and action sequences, many are hoping he’ll capture its haunting atmosphere, mysterious storytelling, and sense of discovery.

Even George R. R. Martin, who helped create the mythology behind the game, has expressed confidence in the adaptation. Speaking about the project after it was announced, Martin praised both the studio and its director.

“A24 is a kickass studio, and Alex Garland is a first rate director.”

With filming now complete, the movie enters what will likely be an extensive post production process as visual effects artists begin bringing the Lands Between to life. A24 has yet to release any official images or footage from the film, but with cameras no longer rolling, fans may finally be getting closer to their first look.

Video game adaptations have enjoyed a remarkable resurgence over the past few years thanks to projects like The Last of Us, Fallout, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Elden Ring presents a different challenge entirely, asking filmmakers to translate one of gaming’s most mysterious and lore-rich worlds into a cinematic experience.

If Garland can successfully capture the atmosphere and scale that made the original game a masterpiece, Elden Ring has every opportunity to become one of the defining fantasy films of the decade.
