    If they set the Story in the TES world, then yes.

    If they try to play the game as the plot of the movie, then no. Besides, no one wants to see a Grind Montage.....
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    If it's like the cinematic trailers for ESO, sure. I also have zero expectation of it ever being amazing or anything, but that doesn't bother me.

    Elder scrolls movie? sure. But not ESO movie.

    The movie should be about events that hasn't been in any TES game or else people will get mad that the hero isn't the race they played as.


    also on a side note: I'd love a TES Tv show about a group adventurers traveling around Tamriel.

    But only if it is live action. I don't want an animated one :D

    Absolutley. It should be Live action and not animated.

    ES has a lot of potential for movies. There's more than enough lore, characters, settings, plot lines, etc. to make several great ones.

    The problem is that movie producers in general do a real crappy job of making the transition from video game to the big screen. Either they try to squeeze way too much into 90 minutes, resulting in a convoluted, disjointed mess, or they take way too much liberty with creative license and change so many things in ways that are completely lore breaking that the title is the only thing the two have in common. That's if they actually bothered to look at the source material before hand and they don't just half-ass the thing with a low budget script and no-name actors creating a movie that at best goes straight into the DVD bargain bin.

    I wouldnt mind a fantasy movie about some of the lore.

    i.e. some fantasy drama about the chimer/dwemer war that lead to their dissapearance
    or Alessia and the amulet of kings etc... or some weirdo cyberpunk-ish sci-fi movie about Kinmune (mwahaha)

    IF its mostly about it being a fantasy movie, and has a decent budget - good actors, non-crappy effects, the whole 'different' races dont even matter (what divided the chimer and dunmer were cultural differences, they looked nearly the same as far as I can tell from the game)

    Theres a very short list of video game movies I find good/ok (but that critics generally do not);
    Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, the 1st Resident Evil and 1st Hitman, ;; the Landfall shorts for Halo were also impressive

    So the movie would have to be first and foremost a good movie (script, story, acting)before it being about having ties to the elder's scrolls

    Honestly, I would like to see ZOS put their resources into making the game the best it can be instead of wasting their money on Superbowl ads, Tramriel Vacations, Movies, and other promotions. Having a fun and enjoyable gameplay experience is their best promotion of the game, not the fluff.

    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.

    Hmm, definitely don't go the Warcraft type of direction. Warcraft movie was a total failure both with their tacky, cheap CGI and lack of story and good dialogue. But i wouldn't mind a Live-Action short film around an hour long. Sort of like they did with the previous Cinematics we saw when the game first came out. But of course, a lot longer ones.

    As someone who works for a company who uses the same studio that Zenimax uses for their Cinematics (Blur Studio in Los Angeles), know that Blur Studio charge A LOT for their trailers! They aren't cheap. So i think it's probably the cost.

    Oh please do take resources away from the game itself to work on a movie that wouldnt come out for a few years. /s

    Granted i would like to see Elder scrolls movies. But ESO still needs alot of work and has a main story that doesnt feel proper for a movie. A skyrim civil war tv show though? Or an Oblivion movie? I could get behind those

    Actually, I think 1st Era is a prime period for movies to be in. Keep 4th era for the games and books.
