Despite what we think of the game, it just is not that well enough known to be of interest to the profit machine that is Hollywood. Game must be at the popularity level of a WoW or DOOM to attract enough financing. If it does get enough financing for independent production though, one runs the risk of it being in the hands of Uwe Boll  edit: It's still hard to believe he directed one episode of Twin Peaks.
It's Sci-Fi, space oriented, has ships and guns.. What's not to like?
I would assume that if CCP developed a movie based around EVE, without telling everyone it is a video game and trying to sell it as such, (seriously, who does this? - D&D, oh yeah), it would do well on its own merit provided it had an engaging storyline and some awesome visuals and action.
edit: I did watch the D7D movie; it was mostly bad, but it warmed my heart.  Were there two? I don't recall. There were many much better fantasy movies that stood on their own without that title or inference.
I have never watched the Assassins Creed movie, though I have considered it briefly, but I did watch the DragonAge? movie. Was it DragonAge? Not that memorable.
Bottom line? Don't sell it as a video game. Video game movies have been done, and the successful one was a Final Fantasy movie, which was awesome. Why? Probably because they didn't try to limit it to game content and story.

You should tell them about Skype, Twitter and Facebook; they're sure to like one of them much better. Google+? Not sure what that is, but it seems to be getting popular.
Seriously though, I can't see how a WoW movie could possibly be good, unless it happened to have Gene Simmons and Mr. T in it.
