    I've always felt the people that make this CG movie trailers should just make movies.

    And ya know what?

    Screw dialogue, screw plot.

    Just 90 minutes of the ESO trailer type stuff

    I bet it'd do better than anyone thinks it would

    It would be pretty much impossible to actually live up to expectations, plus there's the fact that all modern TES games let you customize your character. They would have to base it off of Redguard or something with a specific protagonist.

    I would love to see a movie about ZOS. Sort of "The Social Network" meets "Wolf of Wallstreet." I have always wanted to be that room where the powers that be stuck a knife in PvP and let it languish. Would be great to see that moment re-created on the silver screen.

    Didn't Zenimax already do that? I mean they did ruin The Elder Scrolls.

    That said, I did come back and I will say Zenimax with or without Bethesda's help has made good with ESO now. It would be a shame for Hollywood do ruin the hard work Zenimax did to make ESO good/great.

    What video game is good? I always thought the Tomb Raider movie with Angelina Jolie were good. Maybe not great but they were not horrible by any means.
    Not my quote but I love this saying

    Pass. I don't think TES is a good fit for film and vice versa. Also, cinema in general seem to be on the decline, or perhaps just aimed at a different demographic than the one I belong to.

    I know that casting the film would be unrelated to the voice acting in the game, but wouldn't you just love to see Cleese with that pot on his head?...

    Name a 'good' game to movie adaptation

    Purely subjective of course but I'd say following are pretty good.

    Mortal Kombat
    First Lara Croft Movie
    First Resident Evil Movie (I liked the second one as well, rest were pants)
    I really liked the Warcraft Movie.

    Look at what Peter Jackson did for LOTR franchise: It used to be an extremely obscure series that was catapulted into mainstream culture almost overnight (relatively speaking, because of how long the books have been around)

    I've always thought the events of TES 3: Morrowind would make for an epic film. If done well. Alternatively they could even do a Netflix original series (South Park jokes aside they do have some good production value) on TES or Fallout. Just don't go campy, it needs some serious money for CGI and good acting

    Blizzard had the money to put into making a good movie.

    What era would it be? Who are the main characters since you are the one doing all the heavy lifting?

    I think a movie would have to be based on the in-between times. Something from lore that is not actually in the games. The story of Tiber Septim would be my first choice. You could also do the fall of the Ayleids or the end of the first Era. It would need to be something that has a set outcome with no player involvement.

    A TES Movie?
    I can see it now...
    Camera shows a long line of people going down the street. A gentle zoom to someone at the end of the line. We follow the person as the line moves. They enter a theater, they get their popcorn. They go to sit down. They are told that seat is saved and to find a different seat. This process repeats for a good while. Eventually, they are allowed to sit down to watch the movie. The movie starts. Camera passes over the person's shoulder and zooms to show only the movie screen, prison bars slowly fade in. Camera zooms back out to a top down view of the theater and cuts to credits.

    If they contracted Blur Studios to do the entire film, then I'd absolutely love it. I'd prefer it Animated over Live Action. Besides the people over at Blur are fantastic. First for the Anniversary Halo games and now the Elder Scrolls Online cinematics.

    If they wanted to do a Live Action, I'd REALLY hope it was at least on the level of Lord of the Rings if not better.

    Animated would be ok, But I believe a problem with this would be the similarity to Lord of the Rings might cause some problems... However it is not a bad idea! The only problem I might have with it is with all the really bad animators out there, there is a possibility of REALLY bad quality... Like Jaws 3 bad quality.

    I think it would be a bad idea. Some things aren't worth pursing. Comics, books and games all work. A film would be a needless vanity project that would require a massive budget with the amount of CGI that would required and would ultimately flop.

    Sorry. in a perfect world it would work but too many issues IMO for it to become a reality.

    I really enjoyed the WoW movie and Assassins creed movies, but i'm not a purist..

    I watch movies for movies..

    I think the main reason there is no ESO movies is all the critics would compare it too LoTR
