    I though the WoW film was good.

    The issue with the WoW movie was the sheer amount of character and lore they tried to cram into a movie. It lost so many people. But I really enjoyed it.

    I vote for a ESO movie with Forum users and the developers playing the characters.

    Wrobel will play Molag Bal

    @ZOS_GinaBruno will play Lyris Titanborn

    @ZOS_RichLambert will play Mannimarco

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler will play The Prophet

    @ZOS_MattFiror will play Varen Aquilarios

    I would think that @Wrobel would be Sheogorath. Off the wall crazy with no care.

    Yes but please don't make it a low budget film. Spend some of the money from the crown crates and hire "Matt Damon, Johnny Depp, or Leonardo DiCaprio" as the main actor.

    Johnny Depp sure. Somehow I can't picture DiCaprio or Damon in any role relating to this series. Depp can be quirky enough to tally pull it off and make it cool. Hell, he makes the Pirates movies cool and lets face it, those are seriously cheeseball but fun.

    On the matter of the film itself, my concern isn't the budget size but the quality of writing and storytelling. Fantasy can be done in a way that is well done and treats the original subject matter in a positive light. The Lord of the Rings movies for instance had to skip a lot of content, but I think overall they did a rather good job. It can be done, but it usually doesn't get done. It needs good writing first and foremost, followed by good casting, good directing and good filmography.

    I personally think something surrounding the intrigue in the court of Queen Barenziah would be interesting. The stories surrounding mad king Pelagius, Queen Potema, or many other villainous figures would be interesting. One could even do a story within the setting about a Vampire hunter tracking down a particularly nasty individual. It doesn't have to be a big over arching plot. There are many ways to paint a good story, which is ultimately what a fan would want I think.

    If they get the Blur guys to do it (same people who did their CGI trailers) then I'd be all for it. ESO (and other similar fantasy settings) lend themselves much better to CGI movies than ones with real actors on screen.

    Maybe an Elder Scrolls (documentary) movie, so that people who haven't play the previous games can know clearly what happened during those times, or for people who want to know more about the lore, without going through many books and online wiki articles.

    But a movie JUST for Elder Scrolls Online? I don't think that'll work. You can take the Harry Potter series and turn them into a movie, but the games suck. You can take Final Fantasy 7 (sorry Roman numbers) and make a movie for it, but I would've rather played it as a game.

    Stories are, in my opinion, either suited for books and movies or games only.

    If they did make a movie; they must have it quit about half way through during a very intense scene, certain ppl who bought vip tickets wont be allowed to enter due to unknown circumstances, and all the popcorn served will be extra salty.

Video games movies are notoriously bad, which is funny because I've played some wonderful video games with wonderful immersive plots and story lines, and interesting characters that even can show growth throughout the course of the game.....

    An ESO movie would be awesome!

    Here's how I imagine it working:
    ZOS would take our money, allow us into the theater, and then immediately port us out because we are in the wrong instance. Then we'd be blocked from re-entering for 15 minutes.

    Elder scrolls in general. It doesn't necessarily have to do with ESO. As long as a fantasy movie has nothing to do with WoW in any way, I'll see it.

    Nah.

    I don't think a movie would work to be honest.
    ES lore is weird, often self contradictory and non linear most of the time. It is also fundermentally sick and twisted if you read too much into it. And that is what I like about it. I love trying to piece together the stories from the stuff I find lying around, it is the non linear in world story telling that games do best.

    If i wanted anything out of game I'd prefer books, I mean more than the in game books and we all know the book is always better.

    I had a new player talked about how they enjoyed playing rouges in this game because they really felt like a rouge. I think that is because being terrible without being cartoon evil is perfectly normal in this universe and its not always easy to do in other fanatsy universes.
