The script looked good and it looked like it was ready to go and then boom nothing. What happened to this dream?.

If you want to see the script i will leave the link its more of a play by play thing.

Interplay ran out of money.

Mmm so no one took over? Do they still own the rights to it?

Interplay is pretty much dead. Massive mismanagement, bordering on fraud in the beginning of the 2000's pretty much killed the company.

Interplay and Zenimax spent most of the late 00's fighting over the Fallout IP, following Bethesda's acquiring the rights to develop FO3 in 2004, and later buying the rights to the IP as a whole in 2007, leaving Interplay with the rights to develop an MMO, which Interplay failed to do in the time laid out in the contract, which made Zenimax claim full ownership of all parts of Fallout.

Now Zenimax owns the entirety of the Fallout brand, but this treatment may fall outside of that. Besides, what is on that page you linked is pretty much everything there was.

Dam so no chance for a fallout movie atm?
Mmm zenimax is in my bad books after eso and did not know they had the rights to fallout. They better not give it the eso treatment because it was a failed mmo in a elder scrolls skin.


My dreams were crushed

Just so that you aren't confused Zenimax is Bethesda. Not the developer BGS, but the company in general. And as I said, Interplay was not in a good way after 2004, and has lost almost all customer good-will by now.

Beyond that, Zenimax hasn't shown much interest in cross-media applications of their properties, beyond the pair of Elder Scrolls novels, the second of which was released a few months before Skyrim and no other similar projects have been announced since. Of course this apparent disinterest can be as much a product of them being so damn secretive as it would be genuine apathy.

They've actually got a few more novels coming out for the Elder Scrolls IP...mostly just porting the in-game library of Skyrim to Book Form.

Didn't Zenimax aquire the film rights to the Fallout name a while back?
(If only to prevent someone else from using it; and which wasn't a bad idea.)

Not quite a Fallout Movie, but will "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdv5EtZQ6jg" satisfy for a bit?

Yup lol

The original art team for Fallout, was said to have had Mad Max running on continuous loop.

I love these fan based small productions and would support a kickstarter if that would help them with their next Nuke Break series.

Would we really want Robert Downey Jr playing our character in an Ironman skinned Fallout?

EDIT: The latest info I could find from Gopher, thank you very much.

Thanks for that link! I had not seen nor heard of this before

Np my hope is someone will know how to reignite this idea. Id love a fallout movie trilogy.

As much as I would like to see a Fallout movie, there are two problems with it.

Crossing media from book or game to movie is always problematical because a movie offers less time for background and character development. Not that it can't be done, but it is more difficult than going the other way.

The second is the cast. All the actors and actresses that could do a movie like this justice are either dead or retired. There just aren't very many people like Mara Corday, Richard Denning, Kenneth Tobey and Faith Domergue available any more. Even those that are still active like James Best aren't exactly spry.
