I'm not opposed to the idea of TES as a cinematic narrative. However.
As people have pointed out, video games rarely, if ever, make a proper transition to film.
But let's fantasize. Let's say we have, idk, Martin Scorcesse, or some other big name director who is not Emmerich, Lucas, Spielburg, or Bay. Someone with talent, not a bunch of money they got from when they made good movies.
Then, you get a cast of either well known actors with talent, or relatively unknowns with talent. I honestly have been very impressed by DiCaprio, maybe Djimon Honsou as a Redguard, (they were both in Blood Diamond so they've worked together) Daniel Craig as a woodelf...idk.
Point is...either it's going to be loaded with CGI (bad) or Bruce Willis is going to get green facepaint and prosthetic tusks. Dicaprio will get whiskers and a tail....it's just too damn cartoonish.
So, an animated movie not unlike Avatar would maybe be the best, which will help capture the "video game" feel, but ugh...I didn't see that movie for a reason, although, I can't say it wasn't the animation that bothered me the most.
