Elden Ring Has Quietly Become A24's Most Expensive Movie Yet

A24's highly anticipated movie adaptation of the video game Elden Ring is set to break their own record as the studio's most expensive film. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the budget for the project is nearly $200 million, surpassing Martyrs' budget of $65 million. The announcement comes after a new report detailed A24's financial success with their recent releases Backrooms and You Can See Everything.

The studio, which is worth over $3.5 billion, is looking to continue growing independently by taking on high-profile projects like Elden Ring. The film will be directed by Alex Garland, known for his work on Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Civil War, and will star actors Kit Connor, Cailee Spaeny, and Nick Offerman. With a release date set for March 3, 2028, Elden Ring could potentially be the first video game adaptation to make a splash at awards season.
