Power On Games

Bethesda parent company ZeniMax has once again filed a trademark for a motion picture based on one of its gaming properties. This time the company is looking to secure the rights to create a film around The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

VG Tribune spotted the mid-August application (via Joystiq) for Oblivion, which covers "Motion picture film production; entertainment services, namely, providing motion picture theatrical films in the field of fantasy games."

ZeniMax picked up a pair of similar trademarks for movies and television series set in the Fallout universe well over a year ago. Nothing's come of that as of yet, so you shouldn't necessarily take these filings as a guarantee that an Oblivion flick is actually on the way anytime soon. We'll keep an eye out for any further developments, though.
