Overview
- Clips from TikTok user THROX that spread over Friday and Saturday show a fenced-off site with a Church of Marika lookalike and a large Marika statue.
- The uploader told Kotaku the build sits in the English countryside, and they posted follow-up footage from the same location.
- Kotaku, Vice, and Dexerto reported on the posts and treated them as plausible, though A24 and Bandai Namco have not confirmed the footage and some viewers questioned whether it was real.
- Bandai Namco announced the film in May 2025 with Alex Garland writing and directing for A24 after securing FromSoftware’s approval, with reports also naming Ben Whishaw and Cailee Spaeny in undisclosed roles.
- There is no start-of-filming or release date yet, and outlets say even with 2026 production plans a theatrical debut before 2027 is unlikely.
