Bethesda trademarks Fallout name for film and television

by Ben Gilbert { Apr 17th 2009 at 1:05PM }

Spotted on the US Patent and Trademark Office website recently were two suspicious trademarks filed by Bethesda Softworks, the folks behind the Elder Scrolls series and, most recently, Fallout 3. First, a trademark staking claim on the Fallout name for "entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program," hinting pretty heavily at the possibility of a Fallout-themed ... television program. Another filing secures the trademark for "motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world." We imagine you get the gist of that one, eh?

It looks as though Bethesda is thinking about the future of the Fallout IP and some interesting ways to expand upon it. With the possibility that the company has taken back the reins on a Fallout MMO, the future for Bethesda may hold a megaton more Fallout than we could have possibly imagined.

If they do make a Fallout movie, a REALLY big budget one with good actors and everything is spot on...

I will watch the movie every single day. But from memory hasn't every movie based off a game sucked ?

^ Yeah, because the plots for games have been pretty unrealistic.

I believe however, that Fallout could be pulled off. Mutants aren't too inhuman-like, and creating a nuclear fallout-like environment/wasteland seems pretty easy.

This Movie would own.

Not all game movies have sucked... just most of them.

Max Payne was disgustingly bad :|

Who would you want to direct it? I can't think of anyone that could make the scope feel right, I know who I don't want. Uwe Boll, Michael Bay and anyone who's made any video game movies.

...as I wrote that I was thinking Raimi might be a good choice, sure the Spidey Movies were all over the board, but he has that sense of humor and I think it'll work really well. Plus, Bruce Campbell would be in it. ;)

In my opinion the one and only director that has sci-fi and futuristic settings spot on is Steven Spielberg. If he did it i think it would be amazing and breathtakingly epic! also Snake Plissken HAS to be in it.
