As Elden Ring fans wait for official news, leaked movie set images suggest the film will include significant pre-game backstory

Filming for the A24 Elden Ring movie adaptation has begun at Greenwich Naval College in South London, with director and writer Alex Garland leading the production. Set photos leaked online reveal multiple details about the film’s scope and content, including signage for Leyndell (the Royal Capital), props labeled for Stormveil Castle, and actors costumed in Leyndell Knight armor with Erdtree banners.

The production features extensive greenscreens, indicating plans to add digital environments like the iconic Erdtree in post-production. Most significantly, the leaks suggest the film will explore Elden Ring’s pre-game lore, with set evidence pointing to the inclusion of the Night of the Black Knives—a major event that occurred before The Shattering. Footage also appears to show the Dung Eater character’s execution scene, seemingly adapted directly from the game’s opening cinematic.

The film maintains a distinctly medieval aesthetic consistent with FromSoftware’s fantasy world. While official information remains limited, these unauthorized set leaks provide fans with their first concrete glimpses of how the filmmakers are adapting the acclaimed 2022 game. The Elden Ring movie is scheduled for release in 2028.
