Elden ring film set spotted: first images emerge from english countryside
Alex Garland’s adaptation of Elden Ring is moving rapidly toward production, and the internet is buzzing with the first tantalizing glimpses of the film set. A TikTok video posted by streamer THROX has ignited a frenzy among fans, offering a rare peek at the construction underway in an English field.
A familiar church, a new vision
The video, quickly circulating across gaming and film communities, reveals a detailed recreation of what appears to be a Márika Church. However, keen-eyed viewers note this set doesn’t precisely mirror any existing location within FromSoftware’s sprawling game world. This suggests Garland’s vision may draw inspiration from the broader aesthetic of Elden Ring without being a direct replica.
Adding to the excitement are visible props, including wooden barrels and carriages strikingly similar to those found within the game. The attention to detail in these elements, even in this early stage of pre-production, speaks volumes about the ambition of A24 and Garland’s team.
What's truly significant is the confirmation of pre-production's advanced stage. While A24 remains tight-lipped regarding official announcements, the existence of constructed sets—and the leaks—underscore the project’s momentum. The production is now visibly taking shape, transitioning from script to tangible reality.
The film, starring Cailee Spaeny, Kit Connor, and Ben Whishaw, continues to shroud its plot in secrecy. Garland has penned the screenplay himself, reportedly drawing on his deep appreciation for the source material. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the celebrated game director, reportedly approved Garland's interpretation, lending significant credibility to the project's potential.
The exact start date for filming, and the film’s release window, remain unconfirmed. But if the pace of set construction is any indication, Elden Ring's journey to the big screen is accelerating. The initial leak, however brief, is a potent reminder of the fervent anticipation surrounding this ambitious adaptation. Miyazaki’s trust in Garland suggests this won't be just another video game movie; it promises to be something far more intriguing.
