An EVE serialisation would probably be best told as a collection of stories over the ages....starting with the collapse of the wormhole to New Eden of course.
And for the record, I rather disliked Babylon 5 so nothing like that please. No offence but I found most of the actors there to be rather crap. |

What people liked most about B5 is that it had a scripted story arc, from the first episode, through to the last of season 4. (they had to make it faster, as they were told they weren't getting season 5).
That's not every episode scripted, but a proper arc where the major points were all sketched in. Unlike the Lost approach (throw stuff at the wall, see what sticks, try to draw it all together later)

Everyone knows that at one point in its development Eve Online was Babylon 5 online? 4 races, a fifth elder, powerful mysterious race, space stations, gates, ships that can jump without gates... you can see the basics.

Wrong person for the role, she'd just adopt all the Minmatar. I'd personally go for Milla Jovovich, she don't like zombies so the sansha would be well and truly screwed.

I honestly think that famous people would ruin any movie about EVE.
Keep it low-key to keep it in context.
You see the movie then every time you see said person you think " omg angelina jolie is the ruler of amarr" for an example.

No matter what the storyline is, the four main characters should be Nathan Fillion and David Tennant, with Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana rounding it out. I mean, how freakin' sweet would that be?! |

It would be great to see, the potential for a space opra spanning a galaxy would be great.
That's if it could get past the first series without being canned, unlike every other si if series started in the last few years. |

Would you have it on before or after wrestling, or maybe just squeeze it in between a pretentious "Syfy original series" from Canada and a reality show.
No...

Granted, this is all highly theoretical anyways, but I'd be supremely happy just to see a tv/film adaptation...Hell, even just a proper Hollywood-produced Clear Skies movie, even if it was all CGI (which could be a cool homage to it's machinima roots).
Needs some Christopher Eccleston in there as well, he added a righteous touch of madness to the 9th Doctor.

The resident evil series would like to take a bite out of you, panned by the critics, made a metric shedload of cash at the cinema and on DVD

This would be brilliant.
Personally, I'd like an original story in the EvE universe, using the artistic style of EvE and EvE's "spirit"; not a show based on prewritten lore. Of course lore could be referenced and would be used to add context to this original story.
I think what EvE would be best at offering to a series would be style and personality.
Of course, any EvE show that would be created, I'd give it a watch.

I don't like that idea at all.
If you want to make a good movie you first and foremost need to know what story you want to tell - once you have the story you can start thinking about the setting in which this story is best conveyed.
It is the medium and the audience that decide which setting you choose - in the 19th century you might write a novel that is set in Belgian Congo, in the 70s you might direct a movie that is set in Vietnam and in 2012 you might create a videogame set in post-apocalyptic Dubai.
An EVE movie or TV series would start out with a setting looking for a story and chances are that setting itself would be way more complex than any story you could shoehorn into it.
I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

Game story telling doesnt work with in the Movie or TV format you are taking a interactive medium and turning it into a spectator sport.

edit both the series and MMO take place at the same time frame and events in the series will influence the MMO IIRC.
Defiance?
The Trion Worlds free to play cross platform MMOFPS that ties into the syfy show of the same name. The special effects are being done by the same guy that did the BSG remakes.
No idea what dominion is.
I have to agree with the guy that mentioned AMC. I would also love to see a CGI movie made for EVE as well. Make a direct to video. |

Belive it or not, the first Resident Evil movie was actually pretty good. Maybe you didn't like it, but most people seemed to.
Aside from that the only other movie that actually comes to mind is House of the Dead, whatever it was called, and yeah it was awful. Had nothing to do with being a movie based on a game though, it was just a bad movie.
Bad movies aren't usually bad because of what they're based on, they're bad because they weren't done well. Most Stephen King novels have been turned into pretty bad movies, even when he wrote the screenplays himself. It's not because books don't make for good movies, it's because the movie wasn't made well.
Once upon a time comic books were notorious for being made into bad movies. Look at some of the biggest movies to come out lately. Iron man, Avengers, the first and second spider man, the last three batman movies. If the movie industry looked at what was done in the past and said, "well, movies based on comic books are bad" we would have never got some really great movies made.
Thankfully the world isn't full of people that make rediculous statements like the one quoted. |

Just a thought, and by no means fully decided on. Of course, they could always hire myself and a bunch of other players. I'd get my passport and take some time off work for that, provided the pay was decent and expenses were covered.
