Well i was on youtube and i come across this on the Tyannis Trailer page:
CzarCaleb: why ccp just don't make a movie of EvE i don't know. they could make millions upon milions of moneyz which would 1. ensure sustainability for the next 2 decades (minimum) 2. would cause more people to get involved and 3. would be so awesome to see a CCP movie of EVE <3 7 2 hours ago.
I think this would be a great idea, allocate a small team to work on it and there would be more eve users than ever before, better that this dust thingie.

I would why this idea have never been posted before!
Look what was on page two of this forum. Movie is needed
You could also used eve-search to find the other 20 or so threads discussing this idea over the years. The problem with a full movie is that its not easy to do with pod tech. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

Or they would waste money on a niche movie that only 0.004% of the population will ever care about.
Not saying I wouldn't like to see it, just that I think it will never happen.

Or just view some of the fanmovies. I can vouch for Clear Skies and it's successor they got everything an Eve movie should have, so why spend millions on a movie when you got fans who can make good movies. I rather see the millions invested in Eve anyway -------------- Cleaning up wrecks others leave behind! Got to keep space clean! |

Edited by: Ikonia on 06/05/2010 08:54:34 This ideas come up then and when in every online game. But just look at this seriously. EVE is nice virtual world. But i just dont see the amazing story. There is close to no community, since everyone distrusts everyone cause he could be scammed, bugged, cheated, killed, podded and so on.
Did you lately try to make a fleet with some one you dont know from RL, from Alliance, from Corp?
On the flipside of the medal, what do you want to show in a movie? A huge fleet camping a stargate? Some freaks trying to lure other pilots into traps? The LAG monster? The overmighty concord killing a BS in less than a quarter of a second while a pirate vessel can close to never get the armor of the same BS below 99.9? Or some frigate pilot attacking a capital and taking it out because of stupid physcial mechanics in this world? Macrominers? Canflippers? Ninja salvagers?
The role of the main actor: He is a guy, that was able to learn to fly a space vessel of frigate size in less than 7 minutes, but it took him over a month to be able to fly the same ship, with the same functions in a different color because it is called T2? What will his role be? A mission pliot that is kinda bored of flying in a high security space and turns evil .. for a few minutes only. Because he notices it will take like further 3 years of training to be able to survive more than 2 minutes being visible at a lowsec space gate, because of 1000000000 frigs with freaks in them simply kill you of no reason, no further interest than just get a killmail posting in a different virtual space, the world wide web?
Cmon. This is a game. There is like NO logic, less realism than even in Lord of the rings and magic doesnt exist. It will stay a GAME, a toy, for ever. Why? Because of the missing fantasy, because of missing warmth, missing a community that is not split up into carebear and poopoo and lacking of realism. It would be the same to try to make film of .. maybe the computer video game Galaga of Konami in 1984. The possibilities truely are larger now in Eve. But it is still nothing more than Galaga '84 in a more complex form.
jajajaja.... why i play it? It is fun :)But i would not want to see a movie about it. Even CCP doesnt stick to the real facts of eve in their movies. There is no chance for everyone to participate in ".. battles of hundreds of pilots .." or ".. making unbelievabe amounts of money being an asteroid miner .." Only in theory this is possible. It is advertizing. It is the "how do we get more ppl playing eve" strategy. Which is ok. It is not bad. But there is big difference in making an advertizer and a real movie.

"reality" is in perception. it never stopped a good movies from being made. there are EVE stories worth telling. someone just needs to do proper math. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel |

A Movie about the game does not need to be based ingame it just needs to have a good story to it and be reletivly similar / fitting with ingame mechanics.
I wasnt thinking of a movie about what goes on in eve i was thinign more along the lines of a work of fiction designed to make people wanna play the game and have some fun, up the amount of subscriptions and make more noobs for everyone to gank and to lower the cost of Plexs as more noobs will buy them :D
Anyway i just thought CCP could do a very good job @ it, maybe they will one day, probably not. _______________________________________________ Regards Davo |

I think it would make a better TV series than a movie.
Something along the lines of Babylon5.
Also...CCP needs to start marketing EVE toys and action figures (kids still use them today right?)
I for one would buy some ships just for posterity.
star wars collectibles from the 1970s are worth a bundle now. ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader! |

I actually have a script and set designed for a 25 episode first season of an Eve TV show, designed to be shot on a budget of 1500 dollars and using visuals made right in eve. In a few years, once I get settled down, have some space to work, some friends to play the parts, and the income to support the project, I'll probably end up doing it. Its a show of adventure and danger in the wilds of New Eden, told from the perspective of the down and out crew of a heavily modified Hurricane Class battlecruiser. its similar in vein to Firefly, but with a but with bits of Alien, Lost in Space, Star Wars, and of course Eve, rolled into one. It is completely faithful to eve lore even, with a pod pilot being hunted down by the Kaalakiota Corporation to be the needed Macguffin of the story.

There have been some incredible stories and books made about eve. It would be very possible to create a screen play as well. Each story seems to bend the gameplay just a bit but hey, vampires are shown in how many different ways?
It is something though that should deff be looked at after Dust.

"good idea" in the sense that such losses can, in certain countries, serve as a viable tax shelter.
The storyline itself of Eve is somewhere in that magical valley between dumb and incomprehensible. If the UI and lag wasn't so terrible I would instead make fun of it. And I actually like this game. I can't imagine what a normal person would think of it.

As long as this movie is a hit like Star Wars and not a dud like Serenity (in terms of profit made) then it could work.
Example: Star Wars movies had around 10 million dollars budget and made HUNDREDS of millions profit. Then look at Serenity: budget of 39 million, gross revenue of almost 39 million.
My advice: have one HELL of a movie that knocks Serenity out of the park and interests people as much as Star Wars did, then it should be awesome.

Calling Uwe now...
In all fair honesty although it would be an awesome movie because EVE has some well written lore and backstory I just don't see it coming. Noting also that a world of warcraft movie is being made and that took like 6 years(?) and 11 million players to generate some professional movie interest.

in all honesty the eve setting in the background but there are so many adventures or stories out there that it could be a great movie. Eve it self no that would be boring but one persons perspective thru there life in eve. Something of that nature i mean take the book eve the empyrean age book was great but it only took in what 4 or 5 charaters stories and made it great. I dont know hell even a movie after that book would be epic.

Well they estimate that Serenity made Universal approx $11 million dollars in profit after box office takings, DVD Sales, TV Rights etc...
Now okay for a major motion picture company like Universal $11 million dollars is pocket change, yet to a company like CCP... that is a hell of a lot of cash.
hell, even the monstrosity that was doom broke even.
Personally, I would love to see a movie based on Eve, the problem would be to convince a movie studio not only to make it but finance it as well.

EVE Movie.
45 minutes of watching a miner suck the life out of a roid as an intro.
Then followed by another 45 minutes of monitoring a gatecamp, followed by an intense few minutes of climax as the gate camp fails to hold an Omen which then preceeds to WTZ on next gate.
Movie ends.
