I cant picture an elder scrolls movie, everytime i try to just see that crappy dungeons and dragons movie. No, I wouldnt support it because Elder Scrolls wouldnt make a good movie and I would rather peter jackson do something more worthwhile.

but there's so much lore there that is so deep.  the empire has tombs of history about it in the games that would be open to interpretation and the story telling is very similar to LOTR movies the way ideas and places are introduced.  It just seems to fit his storytelling so well.  When I first walked up to Whiterun I immediately thought of the introduction to Edoras.  It was that same epic feeling and with all the different races in Skyrim and their interactions being much like those of the races in LOTR even that seems like an easy adaptation for someone who's done LOTR.  This game deserves to be on the big screen and it has the most going for a movie adaptation aside from maybe AC or COD (only because COD could just be a generic military shooter to follow suit with the games and sell on its brand name).


Dont confuse lots of lore with depth.  Most of the lore in these games is increbily shallow.  The stories and lore are very weak, which is why dungeons and dragons comes to mind when I think of Elder Scrolls.  Dont get me wrong, I think they are great games, but I dont see any merit at all in translating this franchise to movies.
