This Is Only the Beginning

[ Company -> Update ]

Bethesda may be looking to expand the Fallout license to movies and television due to a recent trademark register. The story line of FO3 would make a great movie and you could even have Liam Neeson in it too.<blockquote>Two trademarks filings spotted by <a href="http://dwellonit.blogspot.com/2009/04/f ... -show.html" target="_blank">Dwell On It</a> show Bethesda Softworks has recently filed trademarks for Fallout covering use in television and movies, via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/17/bethe ... elevision/" target="_blank">Joystiq</a>.

The trademarks, filed February 5 by the Fallout 3 developer and
property owner, cover the Fallout name in relation to "Entertainment
services in the nature of an on-going television program" and "motion
picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

Bethesda appears to be tying up the Fallout property's loose ends for grand future plans, including planning to <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58181">pull the plug</a> on Interplay's Fallout MMO.
Whether anything will come of these trademarks remains to be
seen but the prospect of a Fallout movie is enticing--even if, given
the track record of video game movies, it would end up set in 2009 New
York City, where hero Pip Vaulta must disarm a dirty bomb. </blockquote>The extra shit is from ShackNews.

Gotta admire Bethesda's creativity fucking over the franchise.

For the lack of vision, they seem to make up in blindless, power-hungry ambition.

The movie will be about a computer trying to take over the world? Sounds familiar...,

Man, Bethesda has really given up on masking the "worst case scenario" nature of their "vision".

Expect unoriginality and lots more of that. It's like they can't even stick with the original setting, they'll just go there own way and craft something that's already been done bofore, and something lame at that.

I bet they'll cast Keanu Reeves as The Vault Dude.

If you just paid big bucks for the best whore you could find over in the nerdy part of town wouldn't you want to fuck it every which way you could before you dumped her carcass in a ditch?
