A24’s Elden Ring Movie Officially Wraps Filming
Filming has wrapped on A24’s Elden Ring movie after approximately six months of production, according to prop artist Sean Schofield’s now-deleted Instagram post. Production reportedly began in spring 2026, and principal photography is now complete, leaving the film to move into an extended post-production phase ahead of its scheduled March 3, 2028, release.
Schofield’s post, shared via IGN, reported the milestone but was not presented in the supplied sources as a direct announcement from A24. The more than one-year window before release is expected to accommodate the visual effects and other post-production work required to adapt the game’s fantasy world for the screen.
Production on the A24 film has reportedly wrapped, bringing these characters to life.
What the Wrap Message Reveals About Production
A deleted Instagram post from prop artist Sean Schofield indicates that the Elden Ring film completed roughly six months of production work. Schofield described the project as a “dream job” and said he spent “six solid months” making props for the adaptation.
The post included a message thanking the cast and crew for their “incredibly hard work,” “skill, dedication, and all-round professionalism” in bringing the “unique project” to life. The message was signed by director Alex Garland and producers Allon Reich, Matthew Penry-Davey, Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Charlie Reed.

According to the post as reported by IGN, the message appeared alongside an Elden Ring-branded backpack and a keychain featuring a clapboard. Those items were shown as part of the wrap post and should not be treated as independently confirmed production details.
Schofield deleted the post shortly after sharing it, and his Instagram profile later became unavailable or private. That limits direct access to the original material and makes the timing and sourcing of the wrap report significant.
With filming complete, more than one year remains before the film’s scheduled March 3, 2028 release date for post-production. The available window could accommodate the project’s remaining work, but no specific effects or post-production schedule has been confirmed.

Leaked Set Details Point to Elden Ring Lore Before the Shattering
Reported set photos from April 2026 offered unverified clues about the film’s story. The images reportedly depicted the execution of the Dung Eater and Queen Marika, with Emma Laird reported to be playing Marika. The production has not confirmed these scenes or their context.
According to IGN’s Wesley Yin-Poole, the reported details may indicate that the film is set before the events of Elden Ring’s game, potentially exploring the Lands Between before the Shattering. This remains an interpretation of leaked material rather than a confirmed plot synopsis.
The leaks also pointed to several locations from the game. Labels on production boxes reportedly named Leyndell, Royal Capital, and Stormveil Castle as separate locations associated with the production. Observed props additionally hinted at the Academy of Raya Lucaria, although that location has not been confirmed as a filming site or story setting.
The reported cast includes Nick Offerman, Havana Rose Liu, Jonathan Pryce, Peter Serafinowicz, Cailee Spaeny, and Emma Laird. The film is also reported to have a budget of more than $100 million, though no official figure has been provided. For now, the leaks provide context about the adaptation’s possible lore and locations, not verified details of its final story.
What the Production Wrap Means for Elden Ring Fans
For Elden Ring fans, the production wrap marks a shift from filming to post-production—not the arrival of new release details. The announcement does not include a new trailer, synopsis, additional casting information, or a revised release date. The supplied schedule still lists March 3, 2028, subject to any future official update.
With principal photography complete, audiences may receive limited verified information while visual effects and other post-production work continue. Reports indicate the film will require substantial effects work to bring the Elden Ring world to live action, but the production timeline and story details beyond confirmed announcements remain uncertain.

The reported set photographs, the reported budget of more than $100 million, and interpretations of the film’s possible pre-Shattering setting should be treated separately from confirmed production news. For now, the confirmed milestone is that filming has wrapped; the next major development for players and film audiences will be an official update from A24 or the production team.
