Amazon MGM has acquired international pay-one streaming rights to A24’s live-action Elden Ring film, giving Prime Video subscribers a likely route to watch it after its cinema release. The deal is reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars, helping offset the film’s reported $200 million budget, while A24 keeps the project’s details tightly guarded.
Director Alex Garland’s script is reportedly 180 pages, a length that could point to a film nearing three hours, though editing may shorten it.

Explained simply
Elden Ring began as a fantasy role-playing video game made by FromSoftware, with a world and mythology developed with writer George R. R. Martin. Players explore a ruined realm called the Lands Between, where powerful figures compete over the fragments of a shattered object known as the Elden Ring.
A24 is producing the live-action film, with Alex Garland directing; Kit Connor is expected to star. The story’s characters and world are familiar to players, but the film’s plot and other details have largely been kept private.
The project brings together a major game franchise and a film studio, with a reported budget of about $200 million. Its cinema release and later streaming availability matter to viewers deciding how they may be able to watch it.
