Filming for the Elden Ring movie has begun in London this week, with set photographs published by Shortlist and additional images circulating via Reddit.
The live-action adaptation is being developed from the property created by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco; Alex Garland is attached to write and direct the feature.
Shortlist’s coverage shows production activity at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, where part of the site was transformed into a foggy, medieval-style marketplace.
Production photos and on-site reporting indicate the crew used dry ice and atmospheric smoke to evoke the somber tone associated with The Lands Between, Elden Ring’s in-game setting.
The location included practical set dressing alongside green screens likely intended for compositing larger background elements such as the Erdtree.
Images supplied to Shortlist by a Reddit user include a close-up of a barrel marked “Stormveil,” a clear reference to Stormveil Castle, one of Elden Ring’s major locations.
Shortlist also published a photograph showing writer-director Alex Garland on the set.
Garland’s previous directing credits include Ex Machina (2014), Annihilation (2018), and Men (2022), establishing his profile in literary and speculative adaptations.
Journalistic summary of notable observations: Shortlist reported that production crews used dry ice and smoke to reproduce Elden Ring’s atmosphere, and images from a Reddit contributor show set pieces and prop markings referencing the game’s world.
Photographs from the site include both constructed period market elements and green-screen rigs for larger compositing work.
Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and released on February 25, 2022, is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
There is currently no official Nintendo Switch release for the game.
Details about the film’s cast, plot direction, and release date have not been publicly confirmed by the studio or Garland’s production team.
The movie’s production in a notable London landmark and the presence of both practical sets and VFX infrastructure suggest a hybrid approach to bringing FromSoftware’s world to the screen.
As the production progresses, outlets including Shortlist and community-shared images on Reddit will likely remain sources for early on-location reporting.
