CCP. Do you want to make serious amounts of cash promoting the game?
The EVE storyline is very rich. IMPO you could try to make the arrangements to release EVE as a SF Hollywood movie.
With this nice storyline and with someone crafty in SFX like Light & Magic you should hit number one in the box office in the first week.
I know i would be on the cinema head on.
How about you?

Making a Hollywood film about a video game is a very risky business mate. Name one Hollywood film that's based on a game that has not been a complete screw-up.
In any-case, while an Eve-movie would be nice, I doubt CCP would have the funding to be able to do so on their own, so they'd need funding from a production company to do so, and that would be a hard task in itself...

Oh good god, I'd forgotten about WC....
Well, there is one difference, Eve is NOT cheesy, it's a hard, dark place of distrust, villainy and it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad, sometimes.

While I'd love to see an EVE movie, I'd be willing to bet a Hollywood studio would find a way to screw it up. I mean, how could they even begin to grasp the source material unless they played the game for over a year? Personally, I think the movie makers of EVE we have now should be flown to CCP and given a small budget to do this... *hint-hint*... 
Seriously, at least for now, screw a movie. NO. I would gladly pay for a series of novels written in the EVE universe. There is so much potential already in the background information. As an amateur writer myself, I wish I had the time to really delve into it but I'd have to stop playing the game so that's not really an option right now.

Resident Evil was quite good. And although Wing Commander was no blockbuster I still enjoyed it. And what about Tomb Raider, it seems to have done quite well also...

Have it set in space, but not really EVE space at all, instead, let's have it set on Earth, it's familiar.
And the evil super "Jovians" are not really Jovians at all, instead it's a malicious super biological virus which has gone wrong.
Here's where the hero comes in, a Caldari Navy Spec Ops bla-something, but not really Caldari at all, he's just human, it's less confusing.
He has a gun.
Explosions occur, THE END.

Ya know, I can actually picture Harrison Ford in the suit similar to what your char is wearing, walking around and looking serious while giving military orders.

Nice idea altho I cant see it ever happening in the near future. But it did get me thinking, why doesnt the community start something, a series of sorts ie your corp or alliance might take a few hours a week to record fraps and do a weekly show or that. Might turn out to be very good. I know people Fraps battles and that already but it you thought about it I'm sure you could come up with some great storylines. Only an idea dont flame me till i burn please.

About two years ago when s&s were promoting eve etc they bought up the rights to make eve into a movie, and ccp said they had plans to do so, this was during or pre alpha testing, not sure what their plans are now tho, doesnt look like they'll do it.

As long as it didnt end up looking like thunderbirds i think the eve storyline would hold its own. Look at the depth the game has...so a movie...eve has all the ingredients for being a great film.
Final Fantasy...wasnt as big as some hoped but still was huge. With some good directing, and gphx ( Alan Cameron - The Mummy ), the film would take off...and do i smell sequel?...

Personally I'd perfer a TV series than a film. You can develop the story and characters a lot more in a series than 150 minute film. A 2hr pilot followed by 1hr length episodes.
Less risky for the production company (you don't need big names to attract viewers) and if the pilot doesn't sell well then you pull the plug there.
Realistically? Books would be good but your market is even more limited and for a good book you're talking at least a year to write, rewrite, edit, rewrite and final edit.

It would be interesting if it was focused on a hero, with bits and pieces of the background story, given at different times throughout the movie instead of being focused on the backstory. In any case, makign movies out of games dont come out too good, but the reciprocal, Star Wars, can come out nice.

Seriously, at least for now, screw a movie. NO. I would gladly pay for a series of novels written in the EVE universe. There is so much potential already in the background information. As an amateur writer myself, I wish I had the time to really delve into it but I'd have to stop playing the game so that's not really an option right now.
yep novels i think are the way to advertise the game. i would buy instantly

I agree that there are some pitiful games to film out there, but not all are bad. Personally, i'd enjoy seeing some of the novellas, especially ruthless even though only the first chapter is out, turned into a short film or possibly extended into a full length.
There is definately a lot of potential within Eve, and I hope it's taken further.

Bad idea. i can't really be bothered to go into the multitude of reasons why.. yes it is possible to do a good film about eve, but improbable.
However, what i COULD see being good, if a project similar to the Animatrix was done, that would be excellent, using the current eve litriture as a base point... with either a series of short stories in different or similar animation styles... it would be very nice to see. i dont know the comercial sucess of the animatrix however, and if it was seen to be a sucess or not.. but in my humble opinion it was better than the two most recent films in the trilogy.
i doubt that it would happen, but i think it would be preferential to that of making a feature length live action film... which would only serve to distance itself from the feel, plot and whole character of eve... whereas an animation would be much better, as eve already has some quite striking visual styles that would be lovely in an animation... anyway i've rambled on too long  just my two pennies

i doubt that it would happen, but i think it would be preferential to that of making a feature length live action film... which would only serve to distance itself from the feel, plot and whole character of eve... whereas an animation would be much better, as eve already has some quite striking visual styles that would be lovely in an animation... anyway i've rambled on too long just my two pennies

Wing Commander was great movie, altho it didn't resemble original Wing Commander game a bit.
The storyline was badly written and casting could have been better. They tried to squeese too much to too little, mini series would have been a better option. But some technical aspects in that movie were more than correct to space warfare.
For storyline & acting 5/10
Technical ideas 9.5/10
Total production 3/10
You have to remember that StarLancer (the game) is greatly influenced by the Wing Commander movie. Basically starlancer is rerun of the Wing Commander movie

Can I be played by Luc Besson please?
On a serious note... I think some gamer stuff on the TV would work quite well. Not something fictional, but based on the actual events in EVE, maybe with interviews with players, interviews with devs, a run down of in game politics, fleet battle videos etc. I think if it could get people hooked on the game content people would want to watch it.
Not sure how possible that is, but I have seen similar game based things on channels like Bravo before.

The main problem with an EVE movie is this: Who are the good guys? Who are the bad guys?
In EVE, there is no hard and fast seperation of good vs evil. It's all grey, depending on your viewpoint.
The only way an EVE movie could work is if the storyline had someone from old Earth found and revived from cryogen sleep, aka Buck Rogers. Then have him/her interact with each Empire to show the entire picture of what's happening. The story would entail thier adaptation to this future and how they would react to each race's views and sociopolitical structure.
The 'Hero' could initially be found my Amarr while they are doinf mineral scans on the edge of thier space. A probe would indicate a faint energy source leading them to the sleeping Hero.
Following would be lots of action as somehow the hero visits each Empire as he/she seeks answers to why and how this future happened. In the end he can be taken by the Jove who give a full explanation of the events that lead to EVE, as the story unwinds.
Insert lots of action and exploding ships as well as drama from interacting with each Empire and it could be a great movie.
Well, in my opinion anyway.
Either free the slaves or we will come and get them.

If they did do an EVE movie, they would portray the Amarr so wrongly it wouldn't even be funny. In order to make the the prime evil of the galaxy, they would have to make them all in baby-killing, woman-raping psychopaths. Which is completely unlike us :D

A TV series would be a great idea actually, if every asian toy manufacturer can create one to peddle their crap why not EVE?
Of course I'd have to be the star, ducking in and out of every arena in the galaxy as to give an unbiased status report and a fortunecookie epilogue.
No really, it would have to be Concord logs and their agents, undercover or otherwise being portrayed. Some corporations too would be better off written out of the series as their punny names would have people diving for the remote.

Seriously, someone should direct the Sci-Fi channel to the "Backstory" section of this site...

Hey how about using the brilliant back story that eve has and actually putting up events and things that happen in the politics of the 4 empires.
And im not talking about four apoc¦s showing up in Molden heath shouting that the ammatar have claimed the region.
CCP i know it¦s a radical idea and you will brush it away , but hell im a catholic so i can pray.
BTW : This world is starting to feel dead , sorry for the bad post but hell i have sticked with you all this game becouse it¦s great but at momnet i have no hope of acctually nothing happening in the political landscape of the world.
Shouts go out to Sir Molle and BOB for actually playing one of the roles of what ccp should be doing , and they dont even get paid for it.
Please make me happy.

TBH an EVE movie would be frustrating for people like us who know the game and the backstory. To make it make sense to the movie market they would have to start off from scratch and explain the whole backstory, which we already know. Otherwise the vast majority of the audience wont have a clue what the characters are on about.

If you wanna make an EVE movie, do it in a way that it actualy does NOT have ANYTHING to do with the game in its current state.
Have the EVE movie start off a few (27) thousand years ago.
Set the Eve Movie to the begining of the story, the discovery and initial exploration of the EVE system, by Earth. Have it finish up with the collapse of the EVE gate, you can show that cataclysmic event, and perhaps as a teaser, a small parting shots of the few surviving colonies that will one day become the EVE that we now reside in.
That way if it does well enough, there could be a sequal.
Any follow up movies, or series from it, can be either set back in the same time frame, or more currently.
Personaly I think staying back in time may be a better way to do it, that way it actualy does not directly effect what we are doing in game ATM.
Dont take your gaming too serious ! |

No, making Videogames based on movies tend to be screw ups, making mowied based on videogames, expesialy MMO videogames got more chanse of sucksess

You are kidding right?
Let me name some films based on Videogames for you that haven't exactly been successes:
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider II
Super Mario Brothers
Wing Commander
Final Fantasy: The Spirits within
Double Dragon
Street Fighter
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Films that have enjoyed reasonable success:
Resident Evil (dunno much about II)
Mortal Kombat
Anyone care to mention any others?
Now if I were to name every video-game based on films that succeeded, it would have to take up two forum posts...
Now try thinking about what you said, and write a hundred lines, 'I will not be silly with my assumptions on what is more successful again'

Well, there is one difference, Eve is ... a hard, dark place of distrust, villainy and it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad, sometimes.
Much as I personally agree this is what makes for the basis of a really good story, how well does it fit into the standard Hollywood movie mould? Look at the trouble they've had in making Alan Moore's 'Watchmen' into a movie - excpet we can't because the whole concept of 'not having a good guy/bad guy dynamic' proved so distressing to the Hollywood exec types it's still never got past the screenplay stage 
However - who says a movie has to be made in Hollywood? Give it to Jean-Pierre Jeunet and let him go wild - any big or small screen production of Eve could really be done justice, IMO, if it could include the humour, bizarreness and surreality he brings to his movies.

Final Fantasy: Spirits Within was complete crap. Not only did they take out almost every single tradition (except Cid) the girl looked like she had gotten shot by a gun that made her have moles all over the place. Why did they take the moogle and chocobos out? That goes x2 for moogles, I LOVE MOOGLES. And I WANT TO SEE MOOGLES RIDING CHOCOBOS. Anyways...I'm sure Final Fantasy VII: AC will be good though. Even if it is just flashy combat scenes, after seeing the trailers I can already tell it's a lot better then FF:SW.

mortal combat was the best game to come to the big screen ever.
or not.
The back story is awesome for eve, but really how much of it could you fit in to make any sort of plot make sense in 1.5 hours. something more like a mini series would give enough time to fill out the back story and have room to fill out a decent plot or few.

Heh, you don't know your FF very well then. All of the games share the same underlying thematic elements, which were present in The Spirits Within. It was definitely a Final Fantasy movie, just not a copy of one of the games.
Advent Children does look sweet tho.
EDIT: (So I'm not completely OT)
I still think a Sci-Fi series would be spectacular.

If there was a movie it would have to be based on a character in EvE not on EvE as a whole. Or a certain part of the storyline of EvE eg the Caldari - Gallente war.
CCP has some brillient and very talented story writers, Im sure one of them could write a story maybe showing the old classic, Caldari male soldier fightin in the war falls in love with a female gallente prisoner. etc.
Or split the war into a trilogy and have it like that. The story is easily possible with such great writers.
Hand it over to a film company, and hope that they dont **** it up.

Contact the guy that wrote Babylon 5 and make a TV series, hands down the best sci-fi script and arguably best TV series script ever.
If nothing else the series will create a whole horde of subraces, each with more outrageuos hair and accessories than the one before.

This is a much better idea. The eve universe lends itself much better to novel/short story format than a tv or film adaptation.
In fact, I wonder if CCP has considered taking the current backstory and publishing it as a collection of short stories? If they were to do this, perhaps adding a few new ones I wouldn't hesitate buying it. Whoever wrote those stories (I really should find out) is very talented.

A motion picture.... Mmm...
I can see it now... A twisting and turning storyline of conspiracies (preferably not internal ) of the different races against one another, finally culminating in a final showdown of strength where thousands of ships are pitted against one another.
Projecile rounds fly, hybrid charges buzz and energy lasers flash... But there is no clear victor, so they draw another peace treaty, but the borderlines of the factions have all changed.
To help form the specific storyline, however, CCP might like to release a large batch of agents and missions into the world that will somehow involve the player-created Alliances in a great mega-event that lasts for months. Then, after that event, CCP can then put to good use whatever happened during that event, refine it into a move storyline and use it to produce the movie, partly to help everyone get an idea of what really happened elsewhere during the event. This could mean alliances going against one another as a result of deception by GM agents, or a dissemination of information concerning a conspiracy to obliterate another alliance. It's all politics, and it just gets better... |

How about just start from the perspective of a aspiring Matari pilot who is suddenly thrust into hard, unforgiving world when his academy is destroyed and only a few survivors are left - several students and a single mentor who took them out for a training mission, allowing them to avoid destruction.
Any more ideas on what should happen next? Go on, tell us. Then after that, another person can give an idea on what should happen after that as well.

Start with a novel. Great way to entice moviemakers, and, much more importantly, a novel can hold more background fluff then a movie.
It would have to be done by a "pro" though- involving the community in this would make for one hell of a legal minefield 
(speaking about which damn Sarkos for writing up the ideal synopsis for such a novel )
