I dunno but you can be sure atleast the Gallentean women would be showing their breasts each episode, the Amarrians would be played by people with really british/shakespearian accents, and the Civire would never stop cussing.

Yes and no.
If the setting is interesting and detailed enough, it can easily support a story.

I think lots of people disagree with that statement, especially after they have watched the Clear Skies series.

Either way I'd be on-board. I think after BSG ended it's run SciFy channel got out of the SciFi game (they're the wresteling and reality show channel now). I'd obviously watch an Eve-based show though...

Bad directors are to blame for horrible video game movies, video games have awesome content that could be great in films if they ever did them right. Silent Hill is a good example, great movie. Although the upcoming sequel looks awful...lol. |

If CCP and HBO collaborated, we'd have one kick-arse movie that would only be accessible to HBO cable subscribers. So drop that idea. There's a reason that Game of Thrones is the most pirated TV series in the world: you don't light a torch only to hide it under a bushel.
Instead, what if CCP was to collaborate with JMS? I think the EVE universe is most like the Babylon 5 universe: it's a place where bad stuff happens, and people actually have to trust people they don't like in order to get things done.

Fixed.
Yes, turning a story of a game into film as you would do to a book or a comic is a terrible idea. But creating an entirely new story using the background universe of a game can work, if the universe is detailed enough. EVE as a game doesn't really have it's own main storyline, so there is some potential there.
Question is, would it attract enough viewers to be worth the money? Even if every single EVE subscriber watched it that wouldn't be anywhere near enough. Therefore the movie would have to appeal to the general SF crowd, and the use of the EVE universe would be just an afterthought. |

People would do exactly what they do with GoT, they'd torrent it anyway.

If a miniseries were to be commissioned by HBO regarding EVE then I hope it would be done in such as way as the John Adams miniseries. Yes, totally different to internet spaceships, but it was done brilliantly well. Giving that there is a vast source of player created history within EVE, there is plenty to choose from. So much so in fact that I suspect the hardest part would be deciding what / who to centre the story around.
In my personal opinion, I would love to see a miniseries, series of movies, or an actual TV show done about the last time the empires were all at war about 100 years ago. That would definitely be worth watching with all the political back and forth, epic space combat, and if done in a 6 part miniseries, potentially leading up to a proper TV show series, then I think that could work. The key would have to be in getting someone to write a damned good character based story around those events using characters mentioned in the lore. It is often easy to get too focused on the shiny things and not have a proper story. Theres a lot there, but also a lot to expand upon. If that were to be done and be successful, then I imagine that could be then expanded into a spin off TV series based in the capsuleer era.

Hulu is fine if you live in the US, unfortunately most of the world doesn't and can't access hulu due to geographic restrictions. Any collaboration like that would get the crap pirated out of it by those who aren't "lucky" enough to live in the US

I think a lot of people have been wanting a proper high budget EVE movie/series for some time, which is why Clear Skies and other fan made videos are so popular among the community. Just don't make it all edgy and pretentious like a lot of modern science fiction (looking at you Canada).

you clearly haven't read the eve books. I've ready emperian age, and am part way through the burning life. so far, they are both quite good and would have an awesome plot for a movie (probably not a TV show though). and if they were to get the image and general quality of most of the eve trailers and sneak peeks, it could be an awesome thing to behold.
if it were made into a TV show, I imagine the sub rate would skyrocket if it was done well. |

EVE is ultimately about people, we have no monsters and aliens in our lore just a mysterious post human race, which could mean it would actually be a pretty awesome show.
I always thought a show chronicling the gallente/caldari and amarr/minmatar wars would be awesome because of it's allusions to present socio-political issues of Earth.
