The Elden Ring movie hits theaters in March 2028

It’s going to be a little while before The Lands Between is realized in movie form. Bandai Namco just confirmed that the live-action Elden Ring movie, which was announced last year, is expected to hit theaters on March 3rd, 2028, with production kicking off this spring.

Based on FromSoftware’s open-world fantasy RPG from 2022, Elden Ring is being produced by A24, and Alex Garland — best-known as the writer of the 28 Days zombie franchise and directing the likes of Annihilation and Civil War — is both writing and directing the film.

While we don’t know much else about the movie just yet, today’s announcement also introduced the main cast. That includes: Kit Connor, Ben Whishaw, Cailee Spaeny, Tom Burke, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonathan Pryce, Ruby Cruz, Nick Offerman, John Hodgkinson, Jefferson Hall, Emma Laird, and Peter Serafinowicz. There’s no word on what roles everyone is taking on, which raises one important question: who will voice the turtle pope?

Of course, Elden Ring isn’t the only big fantasy RPG being adapted for film. Nintendo is also following up the success of its animated Super Mario movies with a live-action take on The Legend of Zelda, which is slated to premiere on May 7th, 2027.
