Fallout 3 heading for Hollywood?

Post-apocalyptic shooter Fallout 3 is heading to the big screen if the company that made it, Bethesda Software, gets its own way.

Because the company have officially filed a patent to the rights for a film version, securing the trademark for a series of "motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

Fallout 3 would certainly make a decent flick – the plot’s a bit more meaty than, say, Streetfighter – but we’ve seen Hollywood mess up these things before, Resident Evil, anyone?

Also, this is about as early in the process as its possible to get and literally 6 billion things could go wrong before we get to a stage where we can buy a ticket to see a Fallout movie.

So, what we’re saying is, we won’t start holding our breath just yet, but we’ll be keeping an technologically enhanced eye on this one.
