Hollywood Treatment

I know Hollywood hasn't done the gaming industry the best service, but a few friends and I last night were discussing if Hollywood did try to tackle Tamriel, what stories do you think would make for good flicks? Honestly I think if they hired the right talent they could make a decent few films, I mean theres some good lore to go off of. Personally I am slightly hesitant on the idea because well, for instance Ysgramor cried the ebony that his son forged into Wuuthrad using LIGHTNING. Now whether that's embellishment or not I understand there are certain things best left alone, and everyone interperets things differently so the way they portray it could potentially be great or awful.

All that aside, just a friendly poll. What stories would you like to see made into movies/Netflix series/Comics or other media. And if you guys have suggestions please add them. No need to put me to the sword >.>

    Honestly I want Hollywood to stay far far away from Tamriel.

    look at what Wizards of the Coast has done to Dungeons and Dragons a few terrible movies and the developers currently seem to be more concerned with what celebrity is playing and how hard they can virtue signal and thought police than making quality products.

    If that isn't enough to convince you, then there is the abominations that were created from Terry Brooks Shannara series as well as Terry Goodkinds Sword of truth novels.

    No Thank You, No Thank you
    keep these leftist idiots as far away from Elder Scrolls as possible.

    I don't see a TES movie being a good idea.

    Any handling of an iconic TES story/legend is going to be unsatisfying, imo, and any new story is going to be much more by-the-numbers than is in keeping with the setting.

    No they would probably use Ted Rami or if they would really want to be Hipster Phylicia Rashad.

    Also the first episode would probably be about the mass orc imagination to Daggerfall and how the evil King that rhymes with ump wants to build more walls, but a plucky orc girl teaches him how to love again.

    depends what you mean by hollywood treatment

    are we talking live action, animation, a combination of the both?

    the movie connected with a new game or independant of it

    the success of the projects is dependant on the entire team not just the director & actors (although their role is important),
    the producers, the director of photography, the editor, the stunt team, the fight choreographers, the visual effects team i could go on but i wont

    how involved are Bethesda?

    Never saw what was done to the Sword of Truth, but I saw Shannara (never read the books) and became an instant fan. Didn't think it was bad, and might actually convince me to go take a look at the books. Not all stuff turned into film is guaranteed to be awful. The actors could've been a little better, but I've seen far, far worse.

    But I voted 'Leave TES alone' here because I simply wouldn't trust Hollywood to do it right. The TES world is too vast and intricate for it to be successfully condensed into a movie format or anything like that.

    If you read the books you would know the series has about as much in common as The Dark Tower Movie had with that novel.

    They basically turned the series into Twilight...but hey different strokes

    Don't be silly. No one can teach that evil King to love again.

    I really wouldn't mind a movie. But I want a new story. Not a retread of one we know. Or have stories about. I want a new original work.

    I think (could be wrong..) he meant that most movies these days have a leftist bent and spends most of the run time virtue signaling...and if they left that out, he would watch it.

    Actually TES is pretty middle of the road politically the developers seem to understand it's better to entertain than to preach ...can't say the same for the SJW's over at Blizzard.

    @Defilted What if they preach about Talos - Is that liberal or conservative propaganda?

    How funny would it be to see this game get deconstructed by a talking head on some 24hr drivel-news show?

    "They encourage you to steal plans to make drug paraphernalia and then sell it to other players. What is this doing to our precious youth? These Bohemianiks from Bethesda think its the parent's responsibility to prevent their children from playing a game rated MA. They are teaching your children how to sell drugs and kill things. They allow players to cross-dress! Only buy this game if you want your kids to begin speaking in the third person because that will happen after they become obsessed with bestiality."

    Ysgramor and the 500 Companions settling into Tamriel
    I think with all the success of comic movies, with the gamer generation starting to fill the production side of Hollywood. This could be a great direction to move in. People point to the horribly awry movies from the 80's, 90's and early 00's. That was a long time ago. CG, special effects, they are at a point that this movie can be well made now, to day.

    That being said, i agree with what some people what posted, i would be disgusted if some agenda driven crew gets their mits on it and it ends up preaching to us... Last I want to see Ysgramor talking about he is really a she and we should get along with the elves...

    There is so much lore and story that i do hope they get to movies soon. Start telling some of these stories as a box office mega movie...
