Recently movie studios have been trying to jump on the geek culture bandwagon after the huge cash cow that comic book movies have turned out to be. One of the ways they have been trying to do this is with movies based after video games. We have just had the releases of the second Hitman movie and Assassin's Creed and Warcraft movies are coming soon as well as other planned.
But what about an Elder Scrolls movie? Do you think it could be done? Would you want the movie to retell one of the stories in the games or do it's own thing? Would you even want a ES movie in the first place?
I actually agree with most people here, I don't think I would like it. I'm a big comic fan of comics and all my comic friends see a movie for their favourite characters as the be all and end all, but I think the source material is always the best form of media for the story told and the movie is just a cash grab. For instance Sandman is the greatest piece of fiction in comic format and the idea that they are making a movie out of it scares the carp out of me.
Me too....I'm a massive Gaiman fan and adore Sandman. At one point I could have seen Michael Wincott as Dream, but now......I guess I'm too much of a purist. However both Coraline and Stardust were amazing adaptations
Unfortunately Sandman has Neil Gaiman standing up for it, not sure who the studio would listen to in regards to standing up for ES best interests.
