A24 and director Alex Garland are allocating nearly $200 million to produce an adaptation of FromSoftware’s hit RPG Elden Ring, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The figure excludes marketing costs and doubles the studio’s previously reported $100 million budget for the project. If confirmed, the spend would make Elden Ring A24’s most expensive film, surpassing last year’s Marty Supreme ($70 million) and Garland’s Civil War ($50 million). The movie, starring Kit Connor and Cailee Spaeny, completed principal photography in the summer and is slated for release on March 3, 2028. Game‑of‑the‑year winner Elden Ring has sold over 36 million copies and generated more than $2 billion in revenue, providing strong brand recognition for the venture. The high budget signals A24’s shift toward blockbuster‑scale productions in the coming decade.
