Just imagine this as 'game of Thrones' in space
All four empires taking sides against each other (FW) while the Sansha are secretly making their plans to invade, with the occasional sub plot involving nulsec and wormholes
HBO could do it great justice.... the thing is, are the general public interested in a sci-fi series?

Judging by Rome and Game of Throwns I would say it would be awesome.
Judging by the new inventory and ISD it would probably blow.
So I guess it would be a toss up. I would by the Bluray box set regardless to support the genre. Only way to get good SciFi is pull out the wallet anytime anything halfway decent comes out.

SciFy channel went to ****, not that it was ever very good. History channel is almost as bad, rarely anything about history. HBO does make some of the best series, all Showtime had was Weeds.

Rather than a movie based on current lore, what about an EVE prequel?
The classic story of boy meets girl, they join rocket surgery school together, struggle through major incidents between the Frandinavians and Sinorussians, get hired into a colonisation effort to new worlds on the other side of a fantastic natural wormhole. His (or her) ship goes through one day, wormhole collapses the next.
There's plenty of scope in that for drama (love triangle: bisexual French male, Nordic female, Chinese male, or perhaps a religious twist: shady cultist types "recruiting" "converts", and conflict between the nation-states and the emerging megacorporations), character development, and firmly implanting in the audiences mind that this universe doesn't play fair. Oh, and the sequels. One one side, the descent into barbarism due to the lack of critical supplies such as industrial plant. On the other side, the descent into barbarism due to a major war that left no survivors (the megacorporations started lobbing instead of lobbying).
What happened to Earth? What happened to that original star gate network and the worlds on the other side of the New Eden wormhole? My only question is whether two hours is enough time to develop a plot that involves two major factions (the Scandinavian French descendants versus the Sino-Russian accord) and two lead characters, the buildup towards a catastrophic interstellar war and the failed delivery of critical equipment to a number of colonies on the other side of the wormhole.

The RE movies after the first are not very good. Although I keep going and seeing them, so who knows what my point is.

Personally, I think this would be good, since it would get EVE's name out to a group of people that dont normally get to hear about it, but it might suck the proverbial, since the history/narrative of EVE would have to be explained in a far more dumbed down way - not becuase of the people watching the show, but because of the time that would be available; after all, your going to have 10 hours to show 10 years worth of history...

I don't think that would be a problem if handled right. Every detail of history doesn't need to be covered, just enough to give a feel for the universe Eve provides. For example, Tolkien's work makes lore reference covering thousands of years, he didn't flesh out every day of that time. He provided enough to to explain the high points, give an impression of the worlds history. The key is consistency and ambiguity. He kept what he did tell consistent, and also left it open enough we could fill in the rest our selves.
An original story in Eve's universe would not have to tell the whole lore. It would simply have to use the lore to provide context for its story and give flavor to the universe.

Step 1:
Use the existing tools and make an ongoing series of YouTube videos, with high production values and a witty and action filled script. Get some big name voice actors if at all possible. Nathan Fillion is known for doing stuff like this, and it might also interest Karl Urban (who is known for taking roles in the SciFi fantasy genre simply because he personally prefers them)... he should be done with Judge Dread now.
Step 2: Make them engaging enough that they develop a cult following. Promote them, get them in the face of the public, link them everywhere... with luck win a few awards.
Step 3: THEN talk to someone about taking it to the next level, or simply enjoy the increased attention generated from YouTube.
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. |

Oops got the name wrong,. It is Defiance. http://blastr.com/2011/06/farscapes-rockne-obannon.php
Quote:Set on a future Earth, Defiance introduces players and Syfy viewers to a world ravaged by decades of conflict, where humans and aliens live together in a world the likes of which no one has seen. The game combines the frenetic action of a top-tier console shooter with the persistence, scale, and customization of an MMO, while its TV counterpart exudes the scope, story, and drama of a classic sci-fi epic. The game's story will take place in the San Francisco bay area, while the TV series will be set just outside of St. Louis, MO. Because they exist in a single universe, the show and the game will influence and evolve each other over time, with actions in both mediums driving the overall story of Defiance.

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.
it hasnt worked, it doesnt work and it wont work. 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 ridiculous statements like the one quoted. True but many books have been made into movies and done well. Comics and graphic novels are essentially books. the first resident evil move took quite alot of liberty's with the story line. Then you look at something like the doom movie... the the god awful mario movie from the 80's Also 1.Prince Of Persia movie that no one remembers 2. the BloodRayne movie that people dont talk about 3.Double Dragon the movie...yeah 4.Mortal Kombat: Annihilation ECT...ECT If you want to make a movie biased on a video game you really need to toss out almost all of the story and try to make a new one thats so removed that i doesn't resemble the video game at all. Perhaps eve could be different but i doubt it.
I like the prince of Persia movie. Granted all the others are crap.
Something to keep in mind. Bad movies are bad because they're poorly written and directed; some have no business being made into movies to begin with, like ones with little to no plot.
Although not a video game, star trek shows what happens when you put good writing and direction behind a movie. Wrath of khan set box office records when it came out. The series only managed 3 seasons, and contrary to popular myth, wasn't that well liked. A sequel to a pretty crappy movie, based on a rather lackluster tv series made star trek what it is today. Because it was a good movie.

I would make the show about the lead up to the great war when the minnie got thier independence (with jove help) and the gal/caldari war...
you could have a main char who is a gal male who was born on caldari prime and had his underwater city destroyed by the caldari who eventually became some sort of freedom fighter eventually getting out of caldari prime when the galente invade and ends up joining some elitle military unit...
His love interest would be the daughter of a famous but peace loving caldari man who gets killed from a reprisal attack after the destruction of the underwater city...
I am thinking some pseudo romeo and Juliette thing...
I would also take from the perspective of one of the main generals who works with the emperor. from the amarr side...
and perhaps from the story line of a minnie slave who breaks his bondage and attacks a guard in a minning operation and starts the revolt!
the show would be very dynamic with the jove acting as a hiden but always present force that guides the main races...
also this would lead to some epic story lines because we have the great battles that we read in all those Chronicles...
i would do it like game of thrones... high production but only 10 episodes a season... get really good Shakespearean actors to play the main roles (but with American accents so people will watch it)

Having just watched all of the series - kudos for the effort, a real accomplishment for the level of technology used and the dedication put into it.
Given all that - no way in hell would I watch a TV show made about EVE. It is all about the interactivity and the spontaneity of dealing with the throng of EVE. It would be a joke.
