A movie would be great, but you would have to watch out for the company making it. A bunch of video game movies from the past ten-twenty years are crap.

Hmm, I think some of you might need to take a step back and think about exactly what makes Skyrim work so well. Skyrim's a literal "role-playing game," to the extent that two people can save the world and complete the main quest but otherwise be playing completely different games (exhibit A: Paarthurnax thread; need I say more?) and I strongly suspect trying to consolidate all of those into a single movie would upset more people than it would please. Moret han likely a film would run with the archetypical Nord hero that we got in the game's trailers and stuff, but really, saying Skyrim is about the archetypical Nord hero is like saying music is about the bass clef.

Alternatively, they could make a movie that happens to be set in Skyrim, maybe one about the disappearence of the Dwemer or Ysgramor and the Companions or something, and I think that would work much better because it focuses on one single idea.

With that said, if someone did make Main Quest: The Movie, I'd probably go to see it opening weekend no matter how good or bad it turns out.

I can't see something as vast as an Elder Scrolls storyline being covered even in the span of a trilogy. An adaptation of Morrowind, Oblivon, Skyrim, ETC., would be much better suited to something of a more serial nature, like a TV show (with a big enough budget, of course), or a comic book series. What would kick some serious backside, though, would be a movie based in Tamriel's history, like the War of The First Council, the Stros M'kai Uprising, or the Tiber Wars.

No. Because sadly Hollywood wouldn't make it right.

And the Dovahkiin would be a male Nord, which would be a real punch to the gut for those of us who play otherwise.

There's nothing wrong with a female Dovahkiin.  But you're right, they probably would make him a man.

I would not mind a mover or TV series. However, Bethesda would need to 1) actually approve it, and 2) be directly involved in it to make it feel right.

 

Also, sadly will likely not happen anytime soon

There are some fan-made short films but nothing like an actual movie.

If they ever made a movie based on the Elder Scrolls, it might be awesome but almost all movies based off of video games get bad reputations, but if a Skyrim movie based off the main questline with Alduin. It would definitely have potential.
