However, myself and a few fellow Arizona residents, are working hard to buil our own future in movies right here in Arizona. What better place to film a Fallout movie? If one is not made or in production in the next two years, i will write one with the help of some fellow enthusiasts. We are going to be coming upon $500,000.00 pretty soon and with that financing, we can build the foundation for the reputation and resources we would need. Having played ALL of the fallout games, seen what works and didnt, having an extensive knowledge of movies and this subject matter, i believe i could be successful. that is if hollywood doesnt beet me to the rights and butcher our beloved Fallout franchise with a unrepairable blemish.

Im sorry but this is the most assenine post i have seen. Yes the post apocalyptic setting is similar to a fallout-esque feel, but other than that, they are nothing alike.hypothetical fact said:
They DO have potential, once again IF certain criteria and conditions were met. It would take alot of love, attention to detail, throughness, and integration of many different aspects of the game. The hardest part is interactivity. However, this can even be remedied if you create the right feeling while watching as an audience, not an interloper. For instance,if the movie was made by a gamer, he could have the main charcter presented with the multiple choices, fade to sequences of him inacting each possibility, then fade back to realtime whre the character makes the choice that is linear with the end of the movie. In other words, have the protagonist imagine slaughtering the whole town after getting what he wanted, or killing a person to get what he wants, but then have the reality be what coinsides with the main plot, if the protagonist is currently alligned with good karma, have him smile at the idea of the slaughter, but merely do what is good.
I agree. Power Armor is actually extremely doable even without CG as iron man did. Start with basic football shoulder gear and helmet. Remove the facial guard from the football helmet and paint it metallic, then replace face guard by attatching a modified gas mask also painted to look metallic. glue or screw on modified metal plates(lightweigt like alluminum) to the shoulder gear all over in the right way to preserve inner padding and flexability but maintain the power armor look. add a weatherd and beaten look to the metal, mask, and helmet with dirt, paint, dents made with a blunt object and a couple fake bullet holes made with a hammer and large chisel or screwdriver. the legs are a little trickier but there are biker pants with built in knee guards that can be painted metallic, then using four soccer shin guards, on for front and back of each leg, with modified metal plating you have the basics. Buying certain materials such as elstic, velcrow, foam rubber padding, plastic and metal plating, you can easily creat slip on thigh guards.AceDiamond said:
For the boots, external steel-toed boots painted metallic with the shin guards slipped over the lacing and a bit of metal glued on should work as well. a few ninja styled gauntlets either painted or metal plaited and modified to look more american then airbrushed with the Brotherhood of steel insignia should complete the ensemble after puting on some black gloves. Time consuming and deffinately expensive, but with a good budjet, doable.
Actually, this might just work, because the storyline "lone wanderer in a post-apocalyptic wasteland makes good" has worked in the past (namely with the Mad Max and Hokuto no Ken series)
and we all know how the movie industry HATES to take risks. Just walk into some exec's office and say you want to do a "remake of Mad Max, only in America and with retro future technology and mutants" and you've got yourself a contract (possibly for a trilogy)

I COULD do that, but then i would not only have to buy the rights for Fallout, but mad max as well. Where as if I make it independantly, i can personally make sure it is done right and have complete control, and im only buying the rights to one franchise and not two.
I would like to see a Fallout movie. But not one that follows the actual games storyline. More of the background leading up to the bombs and then leads to the games start? And keep Uwe Boll AWAY from the script, he could butcher The Godfather 3.
Oh, so you're one of those people who thinks that FO3 ruined the franchise?Silver said:
Anyway, it'd probably suck, but if they get Ron Pearlman for the introduction, at least it wouldn't be too bad
Mad Max
A boy and his dog
Red Dawn
The Omega Man
Endgame
The whole wasteland, invading country survival movie scene has been done. But i think one based on the Brotherhood of Steal fighting The Enclave would be pretty badass, it could also have a scene where Uwe Boll takes a Mini-Nuke to the face.

The Van Buren storyline would definetely have made a better game and film. Even the start to the game would have been more exciting, busting out of prison, not knowing what the hell to do next.Silver said:
I would have preffered that game to the game they ended up releasing.
I don't think that Fallout can be transferred into a movie.
The main reason would most likely be the setting and timeline which needs a lot of explanation. There is quite a lot of background information which had to be included to make sense for people who did not play the games.
On the other hand, I could imagine it as a TV series where it would also be possible to follow different quests and characters while explaining more and more about the setting.
It may be a bad example, but something like the old "Kung Fu" series with David Carradine transferred into the Fallout setting might work (for those who are old enough to remember).

I dunno, the problem with big games like fallout is that they're BIG, that may sound daft but think about it.
Most of the fun coming from the games is the sense that YOU are crafting the story, the way that your actions have consequences. A movie would be like watching someone else play the game, in a fraction of the normal time, almost defiantly playing a good character, and skipping all the side quests, and a lot of the main quests... (et cetera)

I think Fallout would make a much better novel series than it would a movie. Instead of focusing just one character you could follow the story of a brotherhood outcast in one book or read about a raider in another. You can watch the destruction caused by an evil drifter or follow the exploits of a person trying to make the wasteland a better place.
Okay that might work, but a movie?John Galt said:
Yea, that'll make the ending more tolerable.
Who could they find that's wooden enough to be cast as Fallout 3 characters:
The kid who played Anakin/Vader.
the skinny Al Gore; there's a ton of politicians that are just very wooden actors.
Gov. Ahrnold
Keanu
Rain Wilson (though it may just be that character from Office)
Robin Williams (as long as it's a serious role)
Then they just have to get a makeup artist that can make them all look like mannequins.
