Over the weekend, thanks to a fan in the Great Britain, we got our first look at the set of the upcoming adaptation of From Software's Elden Ring. Streamer and YouTuber Throxtv filmed ruins reminiscent of the location of the Church of Marika and people hanging around the world of Limgrave.
Queen Marika is the divine ruler of the Lands Between in the game, but also the body that the Elden Ring takes over, she is the founder of the Golden Order and Erdtree and also the initiator of the catastrophic war called The Shattering. According to a post on the private Discord channel, Throx said that the recording was made only a ten minute walk from his house.
What gave the shot additional authenticity is the logo of Hedgehog Construction, a company that builds sets for films and TV series and is based in Egham, which is part of the city of Surrey in Great Britain. According to a statement to PC Gamer, Throx's third video showed various blocks that have the company's logo on them, as well as tarps that protect the set from prying eyes.
"People think my posts are made by artificial intelligence. I'm posting another video today, because I went out there again and recorded more material." He wrote Throx on Discord, they also helped bring him attention, and the first video on Tik Tok alone had 1.7 million views.
Elden Ring movie will be shot in production studio A24, and the director is Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, Civil War, 28 Later series). For everyone who is worried about how the film will turn out, it is important to emphasize that Garland is a big fan of the game and has played it seven times.
Last June, during the release of 28 Years Later, he gave an interview to IGN in which he said: "Malenia is the toughest boss. I'm currently on the seventh pass. I have a lot of power, a cool sword and other items and I just go and go at the enemies. It's not the goal to be the best, but to make progress by trial and error.
