Do you think we will ever get a Elder Scrolls Movie?

I think it would be freaking awesome! If it were to happen...any thoughts on what storyline they would use?

    Lots of fantastic lore to draw upon, but like the Warcraft movie, I assume Hollywood will ruin it because everything has to be approved by the Chinese gov't first.

    Yep it will be just as awesome as the assassins creed movie, or that warcraft movie.

    Sorry I dont need people in Hollywood messing up a good franchise.

    Maybe Bethesda (or Zenimax) could make their own independent movie business

    Maybe a series that covers everything? (which I have a feeling is a lot)

    No.

    For all that they're Bigger™ these days, games are still niche. And TES lore isn't nearly as big as Warcraft & the other games that have been made into movies, and very very few of those have done well.


    (re: TES lore - sure, lots of people may have played Oblivion - Skyrim - ESO. But how many of those are actually lore geeks who care about that stuff? How many of them are people who don't bother to read the books on the shelves, just clicking on them for the skill gain? Etc.)

    i doubt it nor would i want a real life movie or show

    an animated show or movie could be cool tough but i'd probably prefer an animated show / anime

    Ive been hoping for this for 5yrs now! I think it would as epic or even greater ONLY IF PETER JACKSON director/producer of LotR trilogy was involved!!! If Bethesda/ZOS could afford that dynamic team then our beloved Elder Scrolls could be MAGNANIMOUS on the big screen!!!! <3@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom :wink::wink:

    Talos would be an awesome backstory. Plus he grew up in Skyrim (born in Atmora mysteriously showed up in Skyrim...) so that would grab a lot of peoples attention.

    Given how D&D movies have turned out, I kinda hope they don’t. They could probably get Jeremy Irons though. He’ll overact anything for a paycheck.

    Jeremy Irons would make a pretty good Mannimarco, don't you think?

    Actually, yes he would. I can picture him yelling “Where is the Amulet of Kings?”

    True that. The only document case of "worse over-acting than William Shatner".

    While I like the idea of seeing Tamriel on the big screen, it's just a fact that the vast majority of video-game based movies just plain suck.

    A lot of people made fun of the blue lipstick (and rightfully so) but I thought Bruce Payne was pretty awesome in that film.

    At times, he seemed like he wasn’t fully evil, it was just being forced on him. I wish they didn’t announce the names of spells they were casting (“Dimension door”) as D&D players knew what they were.

    Will it drop to an ultra-cinematic 5FPS as they storm the Imperial Capitol in Cyrodiil?

    Movies made to copy games never work out to well. People that play the game already have a set idea of how things should go, people that didn't play them, just don't get what is going on.

    The assassins creed movie was pretty ok. Wonder how the Witcher serie will turn out

    Actually, probably not. Historically game-inspired movies (actually most of inspired-by-something movies) have deviated significantly from the base and also not done well.
    They'd have to step up their game a heck of a lot. And looking at Summerset and Murkmire especially, I don't think the current crew can do it.
    Plus you need to somehow cram in an introduction to the IP for people who don't know it at all. It'd be tough.

    A miniseries on Netflix to start might help -- introduce the IP, gauge interest, then try to do a movie.
