Alex Garland’s Elden Ring Adaptation Swells Cast
A official release date has also been announced for the big-screen adventure
There has been a confirmed, early 2028 release date for the Elden Ring adaptation by screenwriter and director Alex Garland, as produced under Bandai Namco Entertainment, and starring Kit Connor and Ben Wishaw.
Garland will write and direct the film, as adapted from Hidetaka Miyazaki’s fantasy video game by FromSoftware, which was first released in 2022. Game of Thrones author George R. R Martin is credited for the game’s worldbuilding, focusing on a fallen warrior travelling to the Lands Between to mend a shattered Elden Ring, whose pieces have been divided between a demigod’s children, resulting in a war.
Additional casting includes Cailee Spaeny, Tom Burke, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonathan Pryce, Ruby Cruz, Nick Offerman, John Hodgkinson, Jefferson Hall, Emma Laird and Peter Serafinowicz.
Producers include Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, alongside Vince Gerardis and Martin.
Elden Ring received critical acclaim, such as 10/10 scores awarded by GameInformer, GameSpot, GameRevolution, IGN and Destructoid. By the end of its release month, Miyazaki’s game had reportedly sold a worldwide amount of 13.4 million copies, growing to 30 million by April, resulting in a status as one of the highest-selling video games of all time between Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal by GameFreak and Nintendo and Borderlands 2 by Gearbox Software and 2k Games.
Garland’s other film credits include screenwriter for the game-changer zombie film 28 Days Later, directed by Danny Boyle, as well as its sequels 28 Weeks Later, 28 Years Later and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. He also directed Ex_Machina, Dredd, Annihilation and Civil War.
Elden Ring will be released on March 3rd, 2028.
