So, Oblivion might become a Movie....

I think it could work if done right. More the world of Elder scrolls than Oblivion like but you get my drift. See a T.V series lasts longer than a movie and can go on for much longer. You'd be able to flesh out the world more than you would in a movie and also be able to run multiple story arcs in a series.burzummaniac said:
Not saying that it would be perfect or brilliant but I'm saying that if they wanted to make a live action Elder Scrolls then it would be better in the form of a T.V series than a movie.
The series could end up like the Hercules series (Which I loved) or even some thing like Rome (Which I also loved)... If it didn't work... Then I guess it would be cancelled before we have to worry and we can bury it under the sand.
I wonder if the protagonist will somehow get stronger by sleeping?
Serious stuff though: An Oblivion movie would only work as long as it was using some other plot other than the game's story, which there really was none.
Yeah, the story of the game could basically be summed like this " A bunch of gates that somehow go to hell have opened up, go in to them and close them off"
That's it. There's no colorful cast of characters, there's the player and a horse (maybe).
A story set in the Elder Scrolls universe could be decent, I don't really think a movie about Elder Scrolls could rise beyond that though, unfortunately. It'd probably just come off as a LotR knock-off.

I'm against video game movies in general after watching Alone in the Dark.
Done. No more video game movies. Ever.

Oh wow I laughed so hard it literally hurt!MiracleOfSound said:
As bad as it may be, I in my TES fangirlness would definatly see a movie set in the TES lore. Now to think it would be a rehash of the game is dumb since well...no. Did the DnD movie just redo a plot?
I mean, movie people are dumb enough to do it though, but they could easily tell a different story from Oblivion's time. Like showing the fate of Jiub (who died fighting deadra that came from the gates) or the events in Skyrim at the time.
Though I still would love a physical version of Talos or Reman either as a TES RTS game or something. The books are nice, but it would be nice to see some past history.
You and the others saying it may be some LOTR knock off is rather well...silly. Saying that suggests movies are usually unique and varied and that there are apparently too many elfish fantasy movies and not a billion buddy cop/criminal action/any other cliche film type films out there.RatRace123 said:
