Should ZeniMax Make an ESO Movie?

✭✭✭✭✭
ESO has been released to console, it is on PC, but one area that ZeniMax has not touched yet is the silver screen. A movie about ESO could introduce the game to a larger audience and might just be the dent we need to inflict on the armor of the game that shall not be named...*cough* World of Warcraft *cough*.
So, in your opinion, do you think ESO should make a movie?

✭✭✭✭YES! Send ESO to the big screen.Oh yes.
And I'll start the casting suggestions:
Lurgonash gro-Dugronk (Banker at Port Hunding) should be played by Vin DieselTenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Arena25, are you insane?Needs a passable story for there to be a movie, the main quest line isn't good in this. I enjoyed most of the side quests more.
Though if your looking for a 'movie' type elder scrolls, check out this fan made skyrim movie.

✭✭✭✭YES! Send ESO to the big screen.I agree that ESO is no Tolkien. I didn't care for the books... dry and full of too much detail.
But I suspect there are a lot of fan/writers who could and would do justice to a script attempt.
And while I'm at it ... I want Malukah to be doing some of the sound track.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.

✭✭I would like one but let's look at some video game movies such as the resident evil movies first 2 were ok but just went down hill. The imfamous super mario movie....... need I explain that. The DOOM movie with "The Rock" it was ok but really didn't capture DOOM. The street fighter movie (no not the anime ones the live action ones). The second MK live action movie. List goes on it's that we don't want them it's that no company can/will make it right to please fans they just wanna milk our pockets. Such as .... ugh.... gonna hurl my sweetrolls thinking about it... the ... Dragon Ball Evolution movie...... That is enough proof that hollywood doesn't care about the fans they just want our money........ *snip snip* YOU FOX FOR RUINING MY CHILDHOOD !!0 -

scratchnsniff✭✭✭No (explain why below)no, they shouldn't make a movie. unless of course you enjoy a movie that freezes, skips, auto rewinds, then goes black as soon as a fight seen with more then 5 actors shows on the screen. then, they will blame it on too many movie goers in one spot and tell them they should space out the times they go to the movies.
seriously , they cant fix bugs that have been in the game since launch. i sure the movie would be great.They call me the magic man.*** Now you see me****** Now you don't ***2 -

Lionxoft✭✭✭✭✭
✭No (explain why below)Sorry but they couldn't even make an original main story. They chose to just rehash the Oblivion crisis. Swap Molag Bal with Mehrunes Dagon, Dark Anchors with Oblivion Gates and have the amulet of kings/akatosh' blessing play a pivotal role.
Seriously, no thanks unless the Bethesda writers handled it. ZOS' writers couldn't write their way out of a 7th grade creative writing class.0 -

✭YES! Send ESO to the big screen.I was thinking this for ages already that all the ES games need to be a movie. This would be epic.
Even my son said the same a while ago; he's not a gamer at all (he loves the soundtracks, though), but I keep telling him about all the Elder Scrolls games, and even he says there need to be movies with their stories

I was initially going to say no; then I thought of the cinematic. That was an enjoyable watch and, at about thirty minutes, is one-third of a standard-length animated film. They could tack another hour or so onto that story and flesh it out with dialogue for a watchable direct-to-DVD special. As for live-action theatrical release: I don't believe the gross proceeds would ever make it a sound investment for any studio.0

Not really. Like a lot of modern fantasy the Elder Scrolls franchise borrows quite a bit from Tolkein like names and races, but the lore itself isn't really that similar.

The_Sadist✭✭✭✭✭No (explain why below)I'd rather their efforts go towards creating game content.
My exact feelings on the subject.
While the initial trailers were quite pretty and I enjoyed them, I feel it would be a waste of time, energy and resources."Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." ― Zurin Arctus, the Underking.Tragrim - How do I work this thing?

Knootewoot✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭No (explain why below)The movie would lag to much, so no. also there would be to little content. Also they had no experience with MMO's and they surely have no experience in making a movie.
I rather have them concentrate on the game before trying anything new.
Every man to his own trade
Edit: Unless it was a funny movie like this:

"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."1 -

✭✭No (explain why below)No.
Because I would rather the money we send ZOS for playing ESO goes to making new content for ESO rather than being put into a movie, or another money pit called the cinematic game trailer, no matter how cool it may look.
Far too many characters to list any more.0 -
