A24's $200M Live-Action Elden Ring Film: Alex Garland Directs with George R.R. Martin Producing
October 24, 2026
A24’s Elden Ring movie is reportedly their most expensive project yet, with a budget near $200 million, potentially surpassing the studio’s previous high-cost films.
The budget figure comes from a Wall Street Journal report and would exceed A24’s prior record-holder, Marty Supreme, which was about $70 million.
By comparison, Marty Supreme was A24’s previous high-cost project, making Elden Ring roughly three times as costly.

Production visuals and set recreations have circulated, signaling a faithful adaptation of Elden Ring’s world, though no official images or trailers had been released yet.
As of reporting, official images or trailers were not released, with development details guarded and production updates and set photos circulating online.
Confirmed cast includes Kit Connor, Tom Burke, Rose Liu, and Nick Offerman, contributing to a strong ensemble lineup.
The cast also features Ben Whishaw, Cailee Spaeny, Havana Rose Liu, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonathan Pryce, alongside Nick Offerman.
The piece places Elden Ring within a broader trend of video game adaptations expanding into film and TV, alongside titles like Minecraft, The Last of Us, and Fallout.
Past A24 fantasy efforts like Death of a Unicorn and The Green Knight showed artistic appeal with modest box office but found streaming audiences and merit.
The high budget is attributed to the project’s popularity and strong source material, though success is not guaranteed.
The article notes that the high budget signals confidence but also substantial risk if the movie fails to replicate the game’s success or the studio’s hits.
