Filming for the Elden Ring movie is now underway in London, and recent set photos are giving fans a tantalizing glimpse into what to expect from A24's adaptation of the 2022 FromSoftware classic.
Several photos taken at the set were shared on Reddit over the past day, offering early insights into the film's production. Notably, The Lands Between will not be entirely recreated in CGI, a decision that has generated significant excitement among fans.
Set photos reveal multiple bird cages, reminiscent of those found in Raya Lucaria Academy. This suggests the film will feature Glintstone magic, and may even include appearances by Rennala and the Red Wolf of Radagon.
Additional images showcase banners bearing the Erdtree symbol, what appears to be a Leyndell Knight's helm, and other ornate decorations typical of the game's more regal areas. The aesthetic so far appears to be perfectly captured in physical and practical form.
One particularly intriguing set photo shows a structure resembling the gallows from the game's epic intro, where Dung-Eater was famously hanged. While it remains unclear whether the film will include the character's infamous dung-eating habits, the presence of the gallows suggests the possibility of a live-action recreation of the game's iconic introductory cutscene.
Dung-Eater was a central figure in his own questline in Elden Ring, allowing players to summon him as a helper in battles or face him as an NPC invader. His potential inclusion in the film has sparked considerable speculation among fans.
Fans are also expressing enthusiasm for the film's promising cast, the involvement of director Alex Garland, and the reported $100 million-plus budget. This makes the Elden Ring movie the biggest project yet for A24.
