In 2009, Bethesda Softworks expressed its interest in producing a "Fallout" film. After four extensions of the trademark without any use, Bethesda filed a "Statement of Use" with the USPTO in January 2012. In the next month, instead of a "Fallout" film, a special feature was made, entitled "Making of "Fallout 3" DVD", which was accepted as a film on March 27 of the same year. This action removed the requirement to continue to re-register that mark indefinitely. In the DVD commentary of "Mutant Chronicles", voice actor Ron Perlman stated that if a "Fallout" film was made, he would like to reprise his role as the Narrator. In 2016, Todd Howard stated that Bethesda had turned down the offers of making a film based on "Fallout", but that he did not rule out the possibility.
