Title: Fallout 3 movie... I mean, Book of Eli
Post by: BWPS on August 03, 2009, 05:28:03 AM
This is the trailer for a new post-apocalyptic movie starring Denzel Washington called Book of Eli

It looks pretty cool and definitely my kind of movie. But every shot in this trailer looks like something from Fallout 3, it's bizarre. To me, it seems like they lifted everything from the game, the bridges, the houses, the raiders, the clothes, even the weapons. Granted Fallout is inspired by movies like Mad Max, but this seems like a direct copy of things from that game rather than being inspired by the game or just coincidence. I don't guess this like a legal issue or anything and I doubt it's going to matter to the FO3 developers, but I gotta ask, does anyone else notice this or find it kinda weird?

Gary Whitta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Whitta) wrote the story.  If you're a fan of PC Gamer magazine, he was a former editor and pops up on their podcast every now and then.  He also wrote a script for the WarCraft movie, but Sam Rami wanted to go a different direction so it was scrapped.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents
