the nameless wanderer was just looking to survive when he gets mistakenly
caught up in a fragile situation between a small town just trying to get by
(megaton), a tyrannical billionaire (tenpenney) and his small army, and a
faction of sewer ghouls.

The movie plot can focus on the quest where the wanderer meets up with Mr.
Burke in megaton with a proposition which leads to tenpenney`s quest to
destroy megaton. Just when the wanderer accepts the proposition and heads
back to megaton to rig the bomb to blow. After talking with the sheriff,
Lucas Simms and a couple of bar patrons he has a change of mind and decides
to disable the bomb instead.

Returning to Tenpenney for his payment his guards shoot him and throw him
in the sewers to the ghouls. Tenpenney, thinking the bomb was rigged to
blow loses his temper when he sees that the bomb doesn't blow up. He then
shoots Mr. Burke in his anger.

Surviving the gunshot (new vegas reference) and waking up in the sewers,
the wanderer awakens in a panic when he sees the ghouls surrounding him, he
has never seen intelligent ghouls before. The ones who nursed him back to
health seem friendly and helpful but their leader, Roy Phillips is hostile
towards him as he has a special hate for humans.

(NOTE: Here is where the movie would wander off just a bit from the game)
Tenpenny's men eventually raid the sewers ensuing in a firefight between
the two groups. Tenpenney's men manage to overwhelm them and win the
firefight and secure the area. Just as they are about to execute the
ghouls, the wanderer comes to their aid armed with a machete and a 10mm sub
machine gun and manages to free Roy Phillips and a small group of ghouls
and make their escape. Once they get to the clear, Roy tells the wanderer
about a city of ghouls somewhere in the DC ruins called Underworld, Roy
accepts the wanderer into his group and considers him a friend for saving
their lives.

Arriving to Underworld, they talk to a guy who is in charge of a misfit
band of ghouls who run the security around the place (they just mostly hang
out at the 9th circle and get drunk). After telling the story of what
happened in the sewers they form a misfit band of disgruntled ghouls to
wage war on Tenpenney tower. On the way they are Joined by Sheriff Lucas
Simms and a small group of armed megaton settlers offering to help. The two
groups team up and start a siege on Tenpenney tower. After a hard gunfight
and racking up many casualties on either side, Roy Phillips reveals he has
one more trick up his sleeve. He goes down to the basemant and opens a
locked heavily armored door and releases a wave of feral ghouls on the
bottom floor killing everyone inside (Simms' men have the outside secure
and are spared from the wave of ferals). The 3 leaders fight their way up
to tenpenney's suite and confront him. They find him sitting on his balcony
drinking his wine and smoking his cigar loading his revolver with a single
bullet indicating he's going to shoot himself, Roy Shoots the gun from his
hand and the 3 confront him. After a short talk the wanderer and Sheriff
Simms agree that their work is done and leave tenpenney at the mercy of Roy
and leave. An outside far away view shows a silhouette or Roy throwing
Tenpenny from the top of his tower.

The epilogue scene shows the wanderer in megaton being awarded by Sheriff
Simms at a small ceremony. He is given a deed to a house and a random
villager shouts free drinks on the wanderer and everyone cheers and heads
to the bar and the wanderer and Sheriff Simms shake hands and the credits
roll.

After the credits, 3 black Vertibirds baring the enclave logo are seen
touching down outside a vault entrance. When it opens the people line up
to come out, a close up shows a minigun opening fire and the screen goes
black with Ron Pearlman voicing his famous quote "War. War never changes"
(fallout 2 reference)

It really doesn't.
A 1.5 to 2.5 hour movie won't do Fallout justice.
If anything it should be a tv-series.
A movie is way too short for what Fallout is.

Experience would suggest that a movie would be a terrible disappointment!

Or you do like with LotR - three huge movies.

But then it would of course not be Fallout 3 it would be based of, more like... a version of Fallout 1

To short... It'd be cool if as Lucas Simms and the Wanderer were walking out the tower explodes. Lucas Simms, to wounded to make the trip back to Megaton tells you to bring him to Girdershade. When you get him there you find it taken over by raiders. The promise to help him if the Wanderer goes to Grayditch and bring back the treasure that the guy in Girdershade's friend had hidden there. He goes there and find the place overrun by the fire ants. Once he takes care of that problem he has to find a home for the little kid. He brings him all the way to Rivet City but on his way back he gets captured by slavers and brought to Paradice Falls. He takes the slaver Jones hostage one day when he's cleaning the weapons in the shop. He gets him to deacticate his collar and he slips it on him. He gets his stuff back and uses Jones as a human shield for his escape. Once he gets far enough that Jone's collar explodes he heads southward, running into many people captured by Supermutants. Once he deals with that he finishes the journey but once he gets there Simms is dead. Infuriated he kills three of the raiders before being wounded in the chest. He heads south to the Dunwich Building and spends the night hiding there from the raiders chasing him. He incounters many horrors. In the morning he's already dealed with his wound so he goes back to Girdershade to find it overrun by Roy Philips and two other ghouls. Roy tells him how Tenpenny had detonated explosives in his tower but the one in his room was a dud. Tenpenny begged for his life, telling Roy of a treasure locked away by five keys. He gives Roy his and Roy shoots him in the face. But not before he tells him of Mr. Crowley, who's also hunting for the keys. The Wanderer meet with him to make a deal, but the deal goes bad resulting in the death of Roy Philips. The Wanderer however had the key during the meeting. Mr. Crowley then takes Roy's supplies which is enough for the trip. He leaves Underworld and while searching his room the Wanderer finds a list of all the people who have the keys. He goes to Ted Strayer, to find him dead and without the key. He next goes to Dukov and persuades the man to split the riches if they travel together. Next The Wanderer and Dukov go to the Reoublic of Dave, it is difficult to convince Dave. You have to convince everybody who is an advlt there to vote before he gives you his key and sends his son with you to take his share of the riches. However before they leave they are confronted by Mr. Crowley and three Talon Company Mercs. he hired. A firefight begins, resulting in two of the Mercs, Dave, his son, and Dave's second wife's death. The last Merc. throws a concussion grenade and takes the key from Dave's son's corpse and goes off with Mr. Crowley, who believes he only needed Daves' and Staryer's key and that the rest of the locks can be picked. Five minutes later Dukov and the Wanderer go after them. You go to Fort Constanine and find all of the raiders that overran it dead. After a stand off you get the armor

Nah, the story of Dogmeat's owner and how he died would be better.

Or maybe Ian.. or Tycho.. The Stranger don't need no movie, it'd just kill the experience.

But just a miniseries or 2 seasons at max. Those prolonged series' of today lose their point and interest faster than I can say "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis".

Maybe a 12 part miniseries like Band of Brothers or the Pacific?

Those things were great to watch.

As others said a movie would not do it justice. If there was a movie it should not be about FO3 IMO.

Case in point: Heroes.
*watches heroes* "What the hell am I doing... Why do they... What happened... What was the point... But... Why?.... But in season 2.... What?!... Ugh..."

Sad thing is, I still can't stop watching the crap.
I've spent so many hours watching it until now that I feel like I "must" know how the series end, even if it doesn't make any sense.

Only series I've completely stopped reading/watching is Naruto.
The latest chapter I was like "Yknow what?... I'm done, [censored] you Naruto, [censored] you very much, you've gone WAY off-track and just isn't the least bit fun anymore, thanks for wasting a couple of hundred hours of my life..."

That's what I had in mind. Or like Jericho with its 2 seasons (but it'd have to be made much better, and by HBO).



Happened to me with Lost, and boy did they screw up that series the closer to the end they got.

They prolong these series' so much that they run out of good ideas, and then stray too far from the point so that endings are bound to leave one cold.
(Deadwood, on the other hand, was left unfinished for what ever mickeymouse numbnut reason, and it's still the best series I've seen.)

Yeah, sure, a movie About a Dog and his owner, who dies, then he gets a new one... who dies in the end. Naaw, how sad. Err.. Would be kinda of a mix of Black Beauty (my ex-gf was a horse person, don't look at me) and A Boy and His Dog.

Both were amazing!

Indeed.

A film of Ian would be hilariously depressing.
He'd befriend lots of people then accidentally fill them with 10mm. :laugh:

The end of the movie:

Ian: Good god I hope those raiders arn't going for us!
Caravan Leader: QUICK IAN TAKE THIS SUBMACHINEGUN AND STAND BEHIND ME AND TRY TO SPRAY THEM!
Ian: Okay!
Ron perlman: As Ian quickly realized that his former friend was now a puddle of goo, he felt a burst behind him and found out what it felt like.. Bastard.

yeah I think a TV series would have been better idea to put here after all, there more than enough to cover an original series, plus 10 spinoffs at least. An animated series to that

No.

We don't need a Clone wars clone now do we?

Animated series??

No please, no another kid friendly show, I prefer the TV series, with great actors

It doesn't have to be something like a 3D animation. What about something like some of the Justice League series, but more advlt oriented? Or something like the Dead Space movies? Not everything animated has to be for little kids :meh:

I think one if the Vaylt Dweller would be best... Only way a movie could do Fallout justice is if it's a trilogy and fuve hours each.

hold that thought.. why stop at a blockbuster trilogy when Bethesda studios can release a whole line of 1 hour animated movies like what most anime studios do for their work like hellsing, death note, and cowboy bebop they could easily produce hundreds of episodes straight to DVD, I mean there's more than enough material and points of view they could use, the possibilities here are literally endless and NO it will not be kid friendly, but more like heavy metal if anyone remembers that, there was gore and [censored] everywhere. Now that, fellow fans is justice

It wouldn't fit the series so they will most likely not make it.

Animation ? [censored] no never. Animations are only cash cows for cooperations. Case in point: "Star Wars: Clone wars". I really hate what Lucas did with his IP. I mean hate.... in the proper way. Not just dislike. Hate.

Flick? Hmn... It would have to be "LotR" esque to do the FO universe justice. But if it HAD to be made I would set it in Vegas. FONV has the trimmings... barely. FO3 is too thin story wise. I'd rather wait for a PS:T (That's Planescape: Torment) esque story with equally deep follower / companion exploration before I made a flick. Because if the flick doesnt explore some serious moral / ethical issues it will end up as yet anotehr "Super-rambo goes into the field, kills all bad guys, wins the peroxide blonde with implants, sets the world right and lives forever after happy with a muffin".

I'm surprised that noone scooped up the movie rights for PS:T yet come to think of it.

Anyway... A flick could be done but it would need a great script and some even better actors.

A series, dealing with a different character each episode... and in some episodes, characters from previous episodes might meet. The world would be the same, the same conflicts, general area, factions, timeline. And all the characters will meet each other somehow. One character might even kill another one that you got to know in a previous episode, and a few might even cooperate or know each other.
