Fallout Movie: Not a Joke

Oh god, I really hope this news is false. I figure that bethesda would want to cash in on their newest ip, but...oh lordy.

Who the hell is going to play the three friends? I bet it's going to be, two dudes and one chick, the one friend will probably die in the end, and the other guy will get the girl.

It would be an okay movie if they stay the HELL out of the way of the original game

1 might make a good movie if it starred a young Bruce Campbell.

I don't even really know what Genre of movie Fallout really could be other than the obvious post apocalypse theme. But knowing Bethesda, they would go the action route, killing any or all remaining fallout 3 fantard braincells in the process of viewing the movie.

If anyone who's bedmates with Uwe boll is involved with this film, I'll avoid it like Kuru.
 
As long as it isn't a special FX action fuckfest I think it could have redeeming parts even if the movie as a whole sucks...
too sad there's no previous credits for the screenwriters for us to grasp what they can and cannot accomplish... on the other hand while I consider the screenplay the most important aspect of a movie, there are many directors out there who can turn an average script into something good, so we should wait 'till more details are known.
 
Are we even sure this is based on the Fallout video games? It's not like fallout isn't an actual word.

Bethesda owns the rights to make Fallout games, but they don't own the word fallout.
 
We don't know if it's actually based on the game, but Briosafreak mentioned Bethesda registering the Fallout movie trademark a while back.

They CAN'T! I mean it's impossible to "fuck it up". Great game with great story. They don't need to spend too much money on the movie, because the whole movie is about rusty iron stuff, ruined houses junk and wasteland. (Maybe they should make the movie in California/Nevada/Detroit.)

Well...they fucked up Max Payne which was a movie-like game already.
 
You got it all wrong!

Nicolas Cage will not star.

Steven Seagal is, with Rob Schneider as Dogmeat in Gollum-like CGI.

As the villain Andrew Dice Clay, with Pauly Shore in a ghoulish supporting role.

Special guest star, Shaq as a super mutant general. Finally a chance to reuse that suit from Steel.

Of course they'll fuck it up, when's the last time a sequel or spin-off wasn't fucked up, when it wasn't handeled by the creators.
 
Thomas Jane is ok for the hero, but if the movie follows the Fallout 3 story, they need a younger actor. A 18-20 years old.

I just hope they use real-life special effects, and not obvious only-computer animations, like in the "I Am Legend". Less greenscreen, more real filmmaking.

:)
 
Well if it was based on the games, I'd doubt the first place we'd hear about it is IMDB, you know?

Dear sir, it supposed to be funny as the fact about making Fallout based film... NOT.

Well...it says it's gonna be a Drama (which is a good thing IMO)

90210 is also a drama... :ugly:
Well Jeremiah is a drama too and it's great. What a shame that they made only two seasons.
 
Does Bethesda own every pice of intellectual property named Fallout. Heck I think we can't even blow the world up without Pete suing us!!! :shock:

At the very least, interplay owns the right for an MMO

Why do I think of Max(well) Stone , Natalia Dubrovhsky and Albert (premade characters) from the first fallout whenever I read the 3 heroes part?
 
A Kid is chased by bullies into a game store. He touches the cover of a boxed copy of fallout and gets magically transported into a post apocalyptic future where he must learn how to believe in himself to survive. Together with Dogmeat (a mutant talking dog), Sulik (a skateboarding dude with tribal tattoos) and Clover (a hawt teen he saves from the badguys) he must defeat the The Master, a mutant who uses green slime to turn people into mutants. In the end he reverts all the mutants back into humans and gets a medal and a magical box from the president of the New California Republic, with the instructions to open it if he is ever bullied again.

Back in present day he meets his bullies and opens the box, expecting his new friends to come out and protect him. Instead the box detonates the city, disintegrating him and kicking off a global nuclear war.
