Kit Connor Joins Alex Garland’s Elden Ring as Production Begins
kit connor is now confirmed in Alex Garland’s Elden Ring as the live-action adaptation moves into production and locks in a March 3, 2028 theatrical release. Bandai Namco Entertainment and A24 say the film will be shot for IMAX, giving the project a bigger-screen rollout from the start. The cast announcement adds fresh momentum to one of the most closely watched game-to-film projects now in motion.
Release Date Set for March 3, 2028
The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 3, 2028, with production beginning in Spring 2026. The announcement confirms that Elden Ring is not just in development, but actively being prepared for a large-scale release strategy tied to IMAX presentation.
Alex Garland is writing and directing the adaptation, bringing the fantasy title to the screen under the joint banner of Bandai Namco Entertainment and A24. The project is being positioned as a major feature for the studio, with the production described as its most ambitious feature movie project to date.
The story is based on the 2022 action RPG developed under the direction of FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki and built from a mythological narrative by George R. R. Martin. The game has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, a commercial benchmark that helps explain the scale of attention surrounding the film version.
