While the pedigree of A24 and Alex Garland offers a glimmer of hope, translating FromSoftware’s cryptic, environmental storytelling into a $100 million blockbuster is a high-stakes gamble. The production must resist the urge to explain away the mystery that made the Lands Between so captivating in the first place.

NEW Elden Ring Movie Footage Looks INSANE! | Set Leaks, Photos, and More!Added:
All right. What's going on, guys? The Elden Ring movie is officially in production. Filming has begun. And ever since Bandai Namco put out new information a few days ago, there has been a ton of new footage, set leaks, all kinds of stuff going around, and this looks incredible. Now, we just put out a video going over the official announcement, which came with some new information like the movie's release date, the full cast list, and quite a bit more. So, if you missed that one, be sure to check that out, too. But today we've got new settings to look at some of the cast in character ranging from the streets of Laneell Rya Lucaria props from Stormvil and a lot more as well as Alex Garland on set and how they're going to be bringing some of these effects to life. So we have a lot to get through. We're keeping up with the Elder Ring movie very closely here on this channel. So if you want more information on that, as well as wanting to stay uptoate on all things Souls Light games and from software, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. And now let's get into it. All right, so before we get into all the new stuff, some super quick recap.
Yesterday, Bandai Namco kind of reannounced The Elden Ring movie while also announcing a release date of March 3rd, 2028. And alongside this, they released a long list of cast members.
Quite a bit of lesserk known actors and actresses, though there are some pretty big names on here. Many of them have worked with Alex Garland and A24 before.
But there's also a few on this list that have worked with George R. Martin on the set of House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, which is a pretty good sign that Martin's involved as well. Now, with that announcement, they said that filming would begin in the spring, but as we know, filming has already begun.
We've already seen set leaks and production on things like the Church of America. Already looked really good, but we've been covering that. Those came out of the south of England, and we also heard word that they'll be filming in places like Scotland and Iceland. But yesterday, a ton of footage and images came out from filming that began in downtown London. And most of this was shared by the short list in their article, exclusive Elden Ring movie begins filming in London. Set photos reveal massive production. And let's just jump straight into the photos. All right, so right away what we can see going on here is they are filming a scene in Lindell. Here we can very clearly see the tree banners remade exactly one from the game. And by the way, the location they were filming at was the Greenwich Naval College. And they've completely transformed this place into Landell. Now, it's a white brick building with some classical architecture, so it already resembles Landell enough. But looking further into things, we can see Alex Garland there in the middle. We can see some extras around with some medieval robes and such. We can also see the Sproutling icon there in the back, which is a really good detail for them to add. But also in the same location in this photo, we can very clearly see a Lane guard as well as one of the foot soldiers. So, the guard there on the right, again, basically onetoone with the game.
They've got the same heraldry on top of the helmet. Maybe they could have made the armor and the cape a little bit brighter, but that is plenty good. Over there on the left, we can see the foot soldier leaning against the wall. Also pretty much one to one with the game.
Very bright circoat there. They've even got the vases full of straw. Great attention to detail. The only thing is the extras in the sort of medieval garb are not necessarily from the game. This looks to just be standard medieval costumes and that's totally fine. Those guys are just extras. That's not something anybody's going to notice. But also take note of how nobody in that photo seemed to have any kind of undead makeup going on, which is an important detail we're going to come back to later. They also had this photo from the production set of them using green screens, which of course they're going to have to use green screens a little bit. You know, obviously they're not going to recreate the whole tree, but also stuff like this. They'll probably use the architecture and the practical props and stuff for the close shots, but use the green screens to create the more distinct architecture of Laneell from the game in the higher up places or backgrounds and things like that, which is again totally fine by me. At least they're not filming this 100% in a blue screen studio, which is more than can be said of most movies nowadays. There's also this photo of a Landell guard reclined against the poles with a lot of fog machine and dry ice smoke going on.
Going to make for some very cool practical effects. Now, here's a real appreciation of some authenticity.
They're adding the corpse wax windows, which again, very glad they're actually doing this with real props, then just adding it in CG. Really got to appreciate them going the extra mile here. We can appreciate the effort. Also found around the area were other props with labels like Stormvil. These just seem to be things like brooms and basic wooden structures, but it's enough to tell us that Stormvil is going to make an appearance in the movie as well. And also in the area were the cuckoo cages from Rya Lucaria alongside lots of pews and lecterns. So we can assume they'll be visiting there too. Now the author of the article did make the connection that this big painting room of the college has been closed off for filming and just based off that tiled floor and everything. This could make a good setting for some scenes on the inside of Ry Lucaria. Of course they'll probably change the paintings and all that stuff too. Another thing that was spotted was this. These are the gallows that Dung Eater hangs on in the intro cutscene. It is one to one in the game. So I guess we can take this as confirmation that he will be making an appearance as well.
And which of the actors is going to be playing him? I wonder. Now this next photo is a big deal. I'm not exactly sure who the original source of this image was. This wasn't being shared by any of the big publications. So and I haven't seen any other angles. Going to take this image with a grain of salt. It shows one of the actresses in full costume of America. And there are a lot of details to break down here. if it is real, which it does look real. First of all, it does look like Emma Leair, who is on the cast list. But here we can see America in what looks to be pre-shhattering. And we know this because she has both braids, which we know she cut off before sealing away the hornscent in the realm of shadow. And all postshattering depictions of America have her with that cut off braid. But we can also see a kid in the very foreground of the image with horns, which gives us a clue that this may be Morgot or Moog before the Omen curse got too far. So, what we probably have going on here is a flashback scene to the streets of Lindell after the dragon war before the shattering. Only reason I say after the dragon is because I think that's when they sealed everything with corpse wax, but it's been a minute since I brushed up on my Elder Ring lore. I may be wrong. And I think even in the DLC, the corpse wax stuff is never even explained. So, but we definitely know this is pre-shattering. Also, because like I said earlier, nobody's undead.
This looks like Heyday Lane with functioning markets. I heard they also had goats rolling around and also with the dung eaters gallows there. They're probably filming intro cutscene stuff maybe to give some background before we jump into our characters said post shattering since we know is going to be the case with that ruined Church of America that was the first said leak.
And so this leads me even more down the idea that I think they're just going to be covering the events of the game with these flashback scenes. But that is 100% pure speculation on my part that has not been confirmed anywhere. I just think that's the most likely scenario. When I see all this, I think this is just some background lore that's going to be shown at the beginning of the movie showing America, the Omen curse, probably the Knight of the Black Knives and the Gift of Grace. But also in the news that came out yesterday was this from the Hollywood Reporter. In the article, they say Alex Garland, who wrote and directed Civil War, which held the title as A24's most expensive production for A Spell before being supplanted by Marty Supreme, wrote the script and is directing the production, which gets underway this week in the UK. The production also puts Garland back on top for navigating A24's largest and most ambitious project. Sources say the budget is well over a h 100red million and will be around 100 days of principal photography, which is pretty insane. 100 million budget is big for a movie like this, especially for a video game adaptation. Now, of course, a big budget doesn't mean it's automatically going to be good, but in context of everything we've been seeing, it's just good news after good news after good news. I'm excited. I'm hopeful. I have a very positive outlook that this is going to be a great movie and I can't wait to see it. But I'm sure we're going to have a lot more to talk about. More filming is going to be happening in many different places. I'm sure you guys are going to find it and we're going to get to see a lot more. So, make sure you subscribe to the channel. If you enjoyed today's video, be sure to leave a like on it. Go check out yesterday's video if you did not going over the cast list. But with all that, I will catch you in the next one.
Heat. Heat.
