Fallout - The TV show?

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-16-fallout-tv-show-in-the-works-rumour

Fallout publisher Bethesda Softworks has registered a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for "an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

Split bump.

Fallout publisher Bethesda Softworks has registered a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for "an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduce that it's more than likely referring to its critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic RPG series Fallout.

This coincides with last week's cryptic tweets from voice actor Erik Todd Dellums - who played DJ Three Dog in Fallout 3 - that stated, "To all my #Fallout3 and #ThreeDog fans: There may be more of the Dog coming! Fingers crossed!"

wut

 

[StoppedInTracks]

wut

No brainer (pardon the pun) after The Walking Dead success.

 

[Mulligan]

Hopefully it isn't Gamebryo.

 

[Rapstah]

=> We're not getting a next-gen Fallout before 2015.

 

[Shadow2222]

So this was possibly what the Three Dog voice actor was referring to?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I beat you to the punch, Nirolak. Bah! *shakes fist*

 

[Blablurn]

Sounds awesome. Would watch.

 

[spirity]

I want the Fallout 4 video game please, sometime around christmas this year.

 

[jonno394]

Give me a post apocalyptic Anthology show with intro/outro narration by Three Dog and I'd cream my pants.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

With a high enough budget, a Fallout show could be good. The stories in the games don't do the premises justice, I'd like to see where good storytellers could take it

I'd rather have a Metro 2033 film though

(based on the book)

 

[Nirolak]

I beat you to the punch, Nirolak. Bah! *shakes fist*

The ordering results of the thread merge suggest otherwise.

 

[diamount]

So it's going to be a poor mans Jericho?

 

[Strax]

Shocking! Positively shocking!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Couldn't it just be a web series?

 

[Andrew.]

Give me a post apocalyptic Anthology show with intro/outro narration by Ron Perlman and I'd cream my pants.

fixed that for you

 

[Totobeni]

Hell yeah!!!

next we want The Elder Scrolls tv series (by HBO)do it Zenimax.

 

[Row]

would at the very least make for an awesome pilot episode, with of course the end being the main character leaving a vault for the first time

 

[Omega]

This would be terrible

Why..

 

[Sn4ke_911]

There goes our Fallout 4 dream.

 

[injurai]

But I don't want non-nerds talking about Fallout like they know the series...

 

[radios shipping overview]

 

[Messypandas]

Megaton Shore

 

[jonno394]

fixed that for you

I only said Three Dog due to the rumours, would much prefer Clancy Brown to narrate

 

[syko de4d]

Fallout Series could really work, would watch it. But pls HBO or AMC

 

[Vyse The Legend]

The ordering results of the thread merge suggest otherwise.

Moderator shenanigans. I want a recount!

On-topic: I am interested in this idea. The universe lends itself well to a TV show; however, I needs to retain the dark humor.

 

[EMT0]

If there's a silver lining to this, it's that this gives more time for Gamebryo to become even more obsolete and have it ditched completely.

 

[Lulubop]

Could be cool.

 

[JDSN]

Id would be like Revolution, but dieselpunk and good.

 

[Takamura-San]

Interesting:

Does the series have a lead character kind of type?

And ambiguous morals.

Wouldn't want to see this end up as a fight between the Good Guys and the Big Bad a la F3.

 

[8bit]

I had posted originally at the end of the three dog tease thread from last week, but Nirolak thought it important enough for a thread of it's own.

Anyway, I'd love to see some post apocalyptic TV but I'm not sure if Fallout is quite what I had in mind.

 

[Proxy]

Why... Just let the franchise die Bethesda.



Well good for Bethesda fans.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Cannot wait for "reimagined" CGI Marcus, The Master and Frank Horrigan.

 

[Sargerus]

HBO please

 

[Mononoke]

Just don't let it be on NBC.

 

[radios shipping overview]

But really, isn't this just Walking Dead with added radiation?

 

[The Culture Vulture]

I'm guessing animated series.....just because.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Could be cool if the first season takes place entirely in a vault and the finale ends with the door opening.

 

[jonno394]

But really, isn't this just Walking Dead with added radiation?

Yeah exactly the same.............do you even know the storyline and plot of either series as that is quite a ridiculos comment imo

 

[Alchemy]

I never asked for this.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

But really, isn't this just Walking Dead with added radiation?

Umm... not at all?

RadScorpions
Muties
Nuka Cola
New Reno kind of suff with whores and druggies
Ghouls (speaking human)
Cultists
Brotherhood of Steel Heavies
Enclave Heavies
Centaurs
The Legion Crazies
etc.

Fallout universe is 10x the universe TWD is.

 

[Kacho]

No brainer (pardon the pun) after The Walking Dead success.

That's what I immediately thought. I'm interested.

 

[disappeared]

There's no way this show will survive outside of something like HBO.

Beth better hire some gooooood staff to write that shit.




lol who am I kidding.

 

[AColdDay]

I never say this about video game franchises entering the non-videogame world, but I will this time:

I'm down.

 

[JDSN]

Interesting:

Does the series have a lead character kind of type?

They could literally go with an unknown in any part of the timeline while revealing the story of the Great War. But id personally go with The Courrier, his background and his storyline could achieve a decent balance between a big arc and monster/case/murder of the week episodes.

CASTING THREAD WARNING:

Matthew Perry as Benny, the guy did a great work with little, knows and loves the series, is a decent actor, and it would be great to watch Chandler Bing after the end of the world.

 

[Discotheque]

With a good show runner behind it and a cable network this could be good. Three Dog can fuck off though

They don't have to do whack monster of the week shit if hbo or somebody picks this up. I pray this doesn't go to NBC or abc or something

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Interesting:

Yeah, The Vault Dweller.
