Has there been a series like this that could be made in to a movie?

[u/Chrome2Surfer]

I'm thinking that they could really expand the series by making some feature length movies. The first one that comes to mind is Star Trek for some reason.

Fallout is hard to make interesting in a 2 hour format imo. If you look at some of the best aspects of the show, like Norm's mystery plot, that doesn't really work in a movie format. Not do characters like The Ghoul, who are all about slow character development.

This is exactly the type of show that works well as a series. Best left as that.

I can see this approach being the undoing of The Mandalorian... Will it work moving from small to big screen? Can that story be epic enough?

I think all these studios have a problem... Currently I get Fallout for 'free' with prime. But would I spend the money to get off the sofa and go to the cinema to spend quite a lot of money on something I know will be on prime in a couple of weeks/months?

Dame problem Disney has with Marvel.

Watch “A Boy and his Dog” if you want a feature length Fallout movie. It heavily inspired Fallout 1 and 2, and in the tv show you can see Cooper Howard’s house has movie posters of “A Man and his Dog”, another clear reference.

Honestly, I think the Sierra madre heist would be an absolute banger of a movie.

Yeah or any of the fallout nv add ons

Other than Lonesome Road

First of all, it sucked. But more importantly, it’s heavily tied to the game’s courier character in a way that the other DLCs were not. It can’t fit into the show and be played with the same basic plot

[u/Willow-Beans → u/Randolpho]

Exploring the divide would be fun to watch though

[u/Randolpho → u/Willow-Beans]

I guess I'm one of the few who didn't actually like the divide. I'd rather explore Zion National Park with the Sorrows

[u/Randolpho → u/Willow-Beans]

A one-shot using established characters from the show dealing with a specific issue is absolutely spinoff movie material.

Basically… movies can be DLCs of the show

[u/sejgalloway]

It would need to be a DLC-sized story, but it could work. Like Star Trek and Serenity, it would have to run on the assumption that you already know the IP because there's too much to explain. But given that the Fallout TV show is a huge hit and already, it would just take the marketing campaign to set the context of the film as being an extension of that.

Edit: Fallout: Far Harbor....?

[u/ksears86]

Love and Monsters feels identical to a fallout game to me. It was so good, I hope we get a sequel someday

[u/superanth]

They’re working on a Bioshock movie, so we’ll see if a game series can finally be successfully formed into a movie.

[u/Tarmac-Chris]

Star Trek movies? Is this a really low-tier shitpost or something?
