New details about the upcoming Elden Ring film have been released, confirming that the horror-fantasy adaptation will be shot in the "Filmed for IMAX" spec, offering superior image quality, wider aspect ratios, and an overall higher-end finished product. Sony cameras are often used for this spec, and it's interesting to note that Sony also has part of a 30% stake in FromSoftware.

Production is set to begin quite soon as Bandai Namco notes this phase will start in "spring 2026," and the companies have released a full cast list for the adaptation...however, we still don't know which actors will play which roles. The project is also said to be in production "under the guidance" of FromSoft's macabre creator, Hidetaka Miyazaki.
