Ive searched the forum, but could not find any info or post about this being asked before. Might have overlooked it.
What if CCP would ally itself with a movie company and make ... um... a movie?
I think that would be a great idea! I just saw the intro for the next expansion. And thought what a great movie feeling I got from it, with the drumming sound in the background: Inferno Trailer on CCPGames Youtube channel
To add a bitta fuel to the discussion is here a little list of questions you could answer about it:
- Full Animated movie? Or real people? Or a bit of both?
- What should the story be about? Should they start at the beginning of the lore? Or somewhere in the middle?
- Which director and or company would be best suited to make this movie, you think? Why?
- Actors and actrices, you'd like to see star in this movie?
- Would it be fun to see real player corporations/alliances in the movie? ... atleast some names perhaps as an easter egg.
- what should definately be in the movie? I'm thinking about stuff like, hardworking miners being ganked by rats and such. Suicide ganking, wormhole ambushes, 0.0 space,... being podded, such things.
- Which ships should FOR SURE be shown in the movie?
- Would we want any reference to Jita as a trading hub, in this movie?
- Should the movie focus on single characters trying to 'make it out there' or be about the major sides and corporations?
Just a few penny of idea's that popped up in my mind.
What I personally think is if there would ever be such a movie made,... it should definately show massive fleet wars. And ALOT of it too.  |

Movie adaptations of computer games are always terrible. Mining Barge buff: CCP-áhas acknowledged that miners in general-áare too stupid to make the correct fitting choices to make ganking them unprofitable. |

Have you seen the 'Clear Skies' videos? If not, look for them on youtube, it's the closest thing we have right now to what you're looking for.
I personally prefer the books written by CCP to a movie made by CCP. You can go into a whole lot more detail in books, because you're not rushed to cram everything into 2 hours or so. Plus, I'd rather see them dedicating resources to improving the game, rather than making 'extra' stuff like this. Not everyone thinks the same way you do. This doesn't automatically make them wrong. |

I'd disagree on what you said. The other way around ,... there are some great movies around based on games.
You forget that EVE has TONS of lore,... you can make 100 movies about EVE purely based on it's lore. Lore is what could make a movie great. You just have to find great writers to make a great storyboard. |

Good idea. Put it on kickstart. But you'll have to make a video promotting it. Here's how.
Get cardboard cutouts of famous directors and place them around you. You will be sitting in the center on a stool. The video opens to low lighting, you are looking at the floor. Music begins to build(epica) and you lift your head. Mouth the words "eve online movie" then the set erupts in flame, followed by a black out. Afterwords text appears saying "Free pin to those who donate 5000 or more."
Once you aquire 90000000000000000000000000000000000000000 dollars you begin building space ships. Actual space ships, for realism. Then you write a script, hire Joss Wheddon to do this(possibly the only serious part of this.) Next hire Nathan Fillion to be your lead. The rest should just follow.
But really, there are too many things that could go wrong with the movie. I wouldn't trust any director to do it right. No saying it could not be done but still...

Now with SFM (Source Film Maker) out, making something such as clear skies isn't nearly as much work. I've been planning to do a couple short machinimas with it and eve, but SFM requires a lot of work to become good at. |

The first RE was the best. As far as the rest and Doom, yeah they are bad but I still enjoy watching them. Love movies! Hate movie snobs!
Also hate subtitles and shaking camera. You had to ruin Borne didn't you! -á"Nerf it cause I can't fly it". I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes. |

Doom is worth watching in an amusing sort of way, simply because of Karl Urban (Reaper).
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

I have long been a proponent of taking an alternate route with this.
I feel they should consider using Jessica as a base and putting out a series of Net movies available through YouTube. Somethnig along the lines of how they promoted and released Dr. Horrible's Sing Along comes to mind.
Properly promoted these things can develop a huge cult following and pave the way for a more traditional offering later.

I think you mean us. Kickstarter is a donation site. Furthermore, it's restricted to Us residents only. On top of that we're talking $100-200 million to make an animated movie in today's market. I bring this up because Kickstarter sets a deadline to receive the money. If the goal is not received by the deadline (probably because only a small percentage of the American players even bothered to go to the site) then no money is gathered and we're right back at square one. Do you smell what the Lock's cooking? |
