Filming on the A24 film Elden Ring has officially concluded. The news comes from an unusual source: a since-deleted Instagram post by props artist Sean Schofield, who shared a photo of a thank you message signed by director Alex Garland along with producers Allon Reich, Matthew Penry-Davey, Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald and Charlie Reed, addressed to the cast and crew for their work on the project.
In the photo, the ticket is placed on an Elden Ring-themed backpack and on a clapperboard-shaped key ring, gifts probably distributed to the crew at the end of filming. In the caption, Schofield described the experience as a dream job, speaking of six intense months spent creating, together with top-level professionals, what he defined as the most beautiful props ever created, without being able to anticipate other details.
Filming began in the spring of 2026 and the theatrical release remains set for March 3, 2028: the production will therefore have more than a year available for production post-production, a phase that promises to be particularly challenging given the amount of visual effects necessary to transpose the universe imagined by George R. R. Martin and Hidetaka Miyazaki onto the screen.
This is the latest update in chronological order on a project already at the center of various indiscretions. The film’s cast includes, among others, Nick Offerman, Havana Rose Liu, Jonathan Pryce, Peter Serafinowicz and Cailee Spaeny, for a production whose budget would have exceeded 100 million dollars. An important figure for the independent studio A24, which seems to have spared no expense in giving shape to the videogame blockbuster on the big screen.
