Elden Ring: Alex Garland's film exceeds $200M budget

The film Elden Ring, directed by Alex Garland for A24, has reached a pharaonic budget. The game, released almost five years ago, has sold over 36 million copies and won Game of the Year at the Game Awards 2022. Developed by FromSoftware, it bears the signature of Hidetaka Miyazaki and is co-written by George R. R. Martin. The shoot, completed in July after about a hundred days of filming, was overseen by the director known for Ex machina and Civil War. According to Écran Large, the production cost almost hit $200 million, far surpassing Alex Garland's previous budgets and setting a record for studio A24, well beyond Marty Supreme ($60-70M) and even productions like Deadpool & Wolverine or Spider-Man: No Way Home.
