Elden Ring Movie Set Leak Shows Marika Statue, Fans Think It’s Game Accurate

A newly surfaced set leak from the upcoming Elden Ring movie has sparked a wave of excitement among fans of FromSoftware’s hit action RPG. The footage, shared by Twitch streamer Throxtv on TikTok, appears to show a Church of Marika ruin decorated with a statue that closely resembles Queen Marika, one of the game’s most recognizable figures.

The clips also seem to show Limgrave-style structures, including the tall pylons tied to the game’s open world design. That has led many viewers to believe the production is aiming for a faithful visual adaptation of the Lands Between rather than a loose reinterpretation.

What the leaked footage shows

The videos posted by Throxtv focus on what looks like a film set dressed to resemble an Elden Ring location. The area includes broken stonework, fenced-off perimeter sections, and a statue that fans immediately connected to Marika.

The streamer later said in a Discord message that the movie was being filmed about 10 minutes from their home, although the exact location has not been confirmed. The production is believed to be in England, which matches earlier reports about where filming was expected to take place.

Why fans believe the leak is real

Several details in the footage have made the set appear more credible. One of the strongest clues is the visible logo of Hedgehog Construction, a scenery company based in Egham, Surrey, that works on film and television sets.

According to reporting referenced by PC Gamer, a third video also showed tarp coverings placed over part of the set, suggesting the production team tried to shield the location from public view. Throxtv also dismissed claims that the footage was artificial, saying in a Discord post that people were calling it AI before adding that more footage had been recorded.

1. Church of Marika-style ruins appear in the clips.
2. A statue resembling Queen Marika is visible.
3. Set pieces look similar to Limgrave architecture.
4. Hedgehog Construction branding appears on blocks in the area.
5. Tarp coverings suggest active efforts to protect the set from view.

Fan reaction grows online

The first TikTok video quickly spread across social media and drew 1.7 million views, showing how strongly the set images landed with the Elden Ring community. Many fans praised the apparent attention to detail, while others joked that the project could end up being a sparse adaptation with little dialogue and plenty of visual spectacle.

The response reflects the unusual challenge of adapting Elden Ring, a game built on environmental storytelling, mysterious lore, and player discovery rather than a linear screenplay. That makes any set reveal especially important, since the look and texture of the world may carry much of the film’s narrative weight.

What is known about the film

The Elden Ring movie is being developed at A24 and directed by Alex Garland, whose credits include Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Civil War. Garland is also a known fan of the game, and The New Yorker reported that he completed an “epic” 160-page draft with 40 additional pages of imagery before flying to Japan to pitch the project to FromSoftware.

Garland has also spoken openly about his connection to the game. In a previous interview with IGN, he said he was on his seventh playthrough of Elden Ring and named Malenia, Blade of Miquella, as the toughest boss he faced.

“It’s Malenia who’s the tough one,” Garland said. “I’m now on my seventh playthrough of that game. I’ve leveled up, I’ve got lots of juice, and a cool sword, and stuff like that, and I just throw myself at them again, and again, and again, and again.”

Why the adaptation is drawing attention

The project brings together several names that add weight to fan expectations. George R. R. Martin, who helped shape the mythology behind Elden Ring, previously called Garland a “first rate director” and described A24 as “kickass,” while saying his reaction to the announcement was “hopeful.”

That combination of talent has kept interest high even though the studio has not shared major plot details or a release date. In a market where game adaptations such as The Last of Us, Fallout, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Minecraft have reached wide audiences, the possibility of Elden Ring making the leap to film now looks more concrete than ever.
