Heidi Boom State War Academy Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.07.27 14:58:00 - [1] - Quote 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.

Nyreanya Serenity Labs New Eden Research. 333	Posted - 2012.07.27 15:03:00 - [5] - Quote 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 say for computer games based on movies it would definately be true. 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.

Savnire Jacitu Caldari Provisions Caldari State 6	Posted - 2012.07.27 15:16:00 - [12] - Quote 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... -SJ-

Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 2308	Posted - 2012.07.27 15:54:00 - [26] - Quote 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.

Mutnin SQUIDS. 266	Posted - 2012.07.27 19:37:00 - [40] - Quote Potentially a stretch, but Aliens vs Predictors. The Alien series was of course it's own franchise as was the Predator series.. They were brought together by a comic book that was released in the early 90s, which was later turned into a FPS video game that had decent success. This later brought about the fan fare to allow the movies to be made in which there have been two to date, both using their own story-lines out side the realm of the game & comic book. It was probably a unique case of having a game built around the idea that started from a movie/comic book that later helped spur along more movies.

I think, given the vast nature of the game, a series would be far better suited than a movie or two. There is just too much material to try and cram into a 2-3 hour flick. Given the nature of Eve, I think something between BSG and Star Trek would visually come close. But that's just me.

Cutter Isaacson Quantum Reality R n D Internet Guardians 820	Posted - 2012.07.27 22:37:00 - [48] - Quote Here are some ideas I had over the years. First up make an origins movie using the EVE lore, the original intro movie was mind blowing to me when I first saw it. Imagine taking that, perhaps starting off in our galaxy, showing the expansion of mankind, wars etc and then the discovery of the New Eden wormhole, then start the movie proper once humans start to settle on this side of it. Show the expansion of the races, the Jove going off on their own etc. End it with the collapse of the wormhole. Next movie uses flash backs and more lore to kick it off, then use more lore from the early eve expansions plus player made content to fill out the rest of the film, its not like there would be a shortage of it. This method could be used to bring us up to the release of say, the Empyrean Age. There were some amazingly descriptive elements to that story that would transfer superbly to the big screen, possibly the entire book could be made in to a screenplay. Follow that on with lore from more of the expansions, add in more player created material including alliance wars etc, you could even work in things like hulkageddons if you tried hard enough. Possibly throw in parts of the Burning Life book as well and that would make another good movie. That brings us up to the present, with the imminent realisation of DUST wars, the Templar One book, even more player made content along with more expansions released by CCP. Now if one movie was made and released every 3 years or so, by the time the content created up until now was exhausted, you would have another 9 years of material to work with. What do you think? Any good? Feel free to comment. Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue.
