An update on Alex Garland’s “Elden Ring,” which I tackled over the weekend and is set to start production this week: Nick Offerman has joined the cast in Scotland.
Offerman joins Kit Connor, Ben Whishaw, and Cailee Spaeny — more actors will surely be announced in the coming days. He previously played the U.S. President in Garland’s “Civil War,” released in 2023.
Released in 2022 and co-created with George R. R. Martin, “Elden Ring” sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. It’s being backed by A24, which is eyeing a 2027 release for the film.
When one amigo gets hit, the other two show up. That's been the deal for three decades between Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón, and it's playing out in real time this weekend
