Fallout (film)

Fallout is a possible movie based on the Fallout series of computer games. There has been at least one canceled attempt at making a Fallout movie in the past.

Interplay Films
Interplay Films, a division of Interplay Entertainment, was formed in 1998 and was to develop seven of the company’s most popular video game titles into movies, including Fallout. In 2000, Interplay was said to be partnering with Dark Horse Entertainment on the Fallout movie project. It was reported that Brent Friedman (Dark Skies, Mortal Kombat II) wrote the script. Eventually, no Interplay property was ever made into a film and the division was disbanded.

Future project?
On 5 February 2009, Bethesda Softworks, which had bought the rights to the Fallout franchise from Interplay in 2007, applied for the Fallout trademark for "Entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program" (s/n 77663853) and for "motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world" (s/n 77663852).

In the DVD commentary for the Mutant Chronicles movie, Ron Perlman stated that he was the narrator in a action heavy videogame that he thought was being made into a movie, and where the tagline was "War never changes".

Fan Films
Tim Pape from California has released a series of Fallout fan films following the story of The Stranger in the wastelands, the first of which is entitled Desert Story. In an interview he said he had played every Fallout game, but was not officially associated with Obsidian or Bethseda.
