» Tue Feb 12, 2013 3:13 am I've been thinking - since I started the game - how great a Skyrim film would be.
Being a budding film buff/scriptwriter/aspiring film maker - here's my opinions on how I'd love a Skyrim film to go;
1. In Skyrim the hero and focal point is clearly the 'Dragonborn'. But one of the genial elements of the Skyrim is that you can follow one of many paths and become/ be a mage, thief, warrior, elve, imperial etc etc So for a film I would have the 'Dragonborn' and then wrap several characters around him and have a sort of men-on-a-mission element to the film's structure.
2. I'd have bad guys in the film slowly peel off to reveal another bad guy - more specifically; for the Skyrim film I'd have Ulfric as the bad guy in the most of the film as the civil war rages, factions take sides, and the dragons are ominous creatures that pop up here and there - as the imperials close in on Ulfric the dragons close-in on the Dragonborn and Ulfric is forced to take sides with the Dragonborn against the dragons. When the film is over I'd have an Avengers style lead-into a sequel (post credits sequence?) where the 'new bad guys on the horizon' are shown to be the Dominion.
3. I'm vague on how Tiber Septim died (I believe he was 81 or something), but in a filmic treatment I'd show a prologue of an old/er Septim climbing the steeps of Hrothgar to visit the Greybeards who have helped him all his life and whom he has visited many times - only this time to be confronted and attacked by 3 dragons including Alduin. Septim is winning the battle when he falls to his death. As we see the life slowly fade from Septim's body (the end of a prosperous peaceful era) the film cuts to many years later and a shot of Talos, a statue, as it is being shrouded by Imperials, as the Dragonborn arrives in the back of a cart with Ulfric shackled in a cage following on behind being taken to Helgen to be executed.
Anyone else have ideas/opinions on a Skyrim film?
PS would a Conan/Skyrim crossover work?
