Elden Ring Movie Runtime Hits 3 Hours in A24 Script [Confirmed]

The upcoming live-action Elden Ring movie adaptation directed by Alex Garland could feature a theatrical runtime reaching nearly three hours, according to verified Hollywood production reports detailing a massive 160-page screenplay draft accompanied by 40 pages of visual concept art. According to verified reports from IGN India citing Deadline, A24 and Amazon MGM Studios have joined forces to back the ambitious film based on FromSoftware’s record-breaking action RPG.

Industry insiders reveal that the draft showcases sprawling combat encounters against towering demigods, massive dragons, and horrifying monsters native to the Lands Between. The expansive script length typically translates to nearly one minute per page in Hollywood production benchmarks, putting the prospective final cut between 160 and 180 minutes.
