New leaks from the *Elden Ring* movie set show the adaptation deep in production, with footage and photos pointing to major game locations and characters. (ign.com) IGN reported on April 23 that fresh material from the London-area set includes spoiler-heavy footage, after earlier leaks showed a large statue resembling Queen Marika and ruins that matched the game’s church architecture. (ign.com 1) (ign.com 2) PC Gamer reported April 23 that one leaked behind-the-scenes clip appears to put the Loathsome Dung Eater at the center of a scene, while Polygon said other set photos suggest the production is recreating Stormveil Castle and the Academy of Raya Lucaria. (pcgamer.com) (polygon.com) Bandai Namco and A24 announced the live-action film in May 2025, with Alex Garland attached to write and direct the adaptation of FromSoftware’s 2022 role-playing game. (bandainamcoent.com) That announcement mattered because *Elden Ring* arrived with built-in fantasy lore from game director Hidetaka Miyazaki and novelist George R. R. Martin, giving the film a world with named demigods, kingdoms, and a shattered divine order before cameras ever rolled. (bandainamcoent.com) The project now has a firm theatrical date: Bandai Namco’s European site said on April 20 that the film is set for March 3, 2028, will be filmed for IMAX, and began production in spring 2026. Deadline separately reported the March 2028 release and said Kit Connor and Ben Whishaw are among the confirmed cast. (bandainamcoent.eu) (deadline.com) Bandai Namco’s cast announcement also listed Emma Laird, Cailee Spaeny, Aaron Pierre, Charles Melton, and Joseph Quinn, but it did not assign official character names to those actors. Reports tying Laird to Queen Marika have circulated through leak accounts and entertainment coverage rather than a studio release. (bandainamcoent.eu) (polygon.com) The leaks have also sharpened the central question around the adaptation: whether Garland’s film will retell the game’s main path or build a narrower story around a few figures from the Lands Between. The current images point to recognizable landmarks and bosses, but the studio has not released an official synopsis beyond the original adaptation announcement. (ign.com) (bandainamcoent.com) For now, the clearest official facts are the production itself, the cast list, Garland’s role, and the March 3, 2028 release date. Everything else in the latest wave of *Elden Ring* chatter is coming from cameras pointed over the set fence. (bandainamcoent.eu) (ign.com)
