Elden Ring Movie Runtime Could Reach Nearly 3 Hours

A few new details on the story for A24’s Elden Ring movie have emerged, including its possible runtime. And, if that remains the case, it’s going to be epic.

Elden Ring Movie Runtime Could Reach Nearly 3 Hours

Details about A24's Elden Ring movie have surfaced, revealing its potential runtime and international distribution. Deadline states that the screenplay, penned by Alex Garland, is at least 180 pages long, suggesting a movie length of nearly three hours. The protagonist, played by Kit Connor, is said to embark on a journey battling formidable monsters and dragons.

International buyers are reportedly allowed to review Garland's script with a studio representative present for security reasons. Elden Ring is reported to be the most expensive film A24 has ever produced, with a budget estimated between $175 million to $200 million, leaning closer to the higher end. In a bid to mitigate financial risk, A24 is partnering with Amazon MGM Studios, which has acquired international streaming rights.

The deal, potentially worth tens of millions of dollars, may also lead to activations on Amazon's Twitch platform. Due to its towering budget, Elden Ring will be among the highest-priced films showcased at the upcoming American Film Market. Filming concluded in July, and the movie is set to premiere in theaters on March 3, 2028.

Apart from Kit Connor, the ensemble cast includes Ben Whishaw, Cailee Spaeny, Tom Burke, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonathan Pryce, Nick Offerman, and Peter Serafinowicz.
