The only model of comparison that I can see is BSG online = dedicated TV fanbase goes and plays MMO.
HOWEVER, the MMO is browser based and so frakking easy in relation to EVE. Attracting the kind of crowd youGÇÖre wanting with a TV series is I think a little impossible due to the mentality of your typical consumer and the mechanics of the game.
I too wish that CPPGÇÖs resources would go to something a little more productive in EVE, however, spending tons on glorified advertising or dumbing down the game to appeal to a larger crowd is the right direction to take either.

Instead of a TV series - I'd like to see:
"Clear Skies" - Directed by Peter Jackson, special effects by WETA Digital.
Starring:
George Clooney as John Rourke Christopher Walken as "Mr. Smith" Colin Farrell as Charlie Fodder Dean Stockwell as Solomon Burke Kate Winslet as Sascha Culhane
C'mon. You know this would be 3pic. Imagine seeing your Eve Ships in fully rendered HD glory on the big screen!!
As for scrapping the other projects, that's kind of ridiculous at this point. The company has amassed a huge amount of code and poured a huge amount of their profits into amassing such code. A "pullout" now wouldn't save them any money any more than a "pullout" saves you from knocking up your girlfriend. Let the company make what creative projects they want to make, its their money, they earned it. |

Making a pilot, showing to a studio who will sponsor it, and working on 10 to 12 episodes for a tentative mini-series with 24 episodes? Then picking up and going forward with it if it proves successfull? Look around you, sci-fi series are beginning to pick up steam again. You show it like it is to the right people, and they are going to be begging to CCP to let them make a TV series. its a project as big if not bigger than creating EVE itself, and would cost far more money than EVE brings in. CCP is also not a director's studio, it is a game studio. EVE has a very, very tiny fanbase relative to pretty much any TV show's subject, etc etc. What you are asking for is not only impossible, but it would be a dumb move financially and a surefire way to lose millions. All for nothing of value.
Yes, it costs money. But that money would not necessarely come from CCP's pockets.
Look at that Mortal Kombat pilot trailer that had michael jay white in it. The guy behind the production of the trailer spent his own money in making it and it was not "million". Now he peeked a studio's interest enough so that they are going to make a full movie. Do you think that money will come from the director's pocket?
And besides, because you think it has nothing of value it does not mean thats a fact, it only means that if it were to become reality you would not watch it (which i doubt)
And unless you ask WWE Studios to run the project, its not going to lose millions because we already have a good story and a good storywriter to begin with. Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they chose to take a stand. |

It was a joke =) That i explained one page ago.
Basically if Dust and WoD get launched, and CCP gets investors for a EVE series, then one day we might have WoD players and dusties asking for a tv series too, and THOSE series would compete with EVE series for resources taking us all back to where we are now. Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they chose to take a stand. |

Story? One or two years before, and leading to events in Empyrean Age. You make people care about your universe and deliver the Empyrean Age content in the final season, you get a blockbuster TV series. Empyrean Age is THAT good.
You know i'm right, Hilmar. Hit the switch.

As much as I would like to see this done. As I work within the film and media industry, I really get the feeling that the OP really does not understand how much it costs to make 1 decent episode let alone a full series.
but I won't go on too much about it as I spend way too much time with this stuff already.

One example for me was Firefly, which I thought actually got better as it went along, but studio execs believed otherwise.
EVE has all the elements to be like Game of Thrones where political intrigue mixed with action/war is central to the storyline. People that I thought would never like the Game of Thrones TV series actually love it and can't wait for the next season.
Wasn't there a group at one stage making a fan made EVE movie? Yeah, it was a frikken brilliant show! I would love to understand the reasons for it being canned,
simple - Fox just does-not like science fiction programs, look at what other programs they axed, then brought back when found to be a money maker *cough* Futurama *cough*

Yes, doing a ****** movie with marginally talented actors will kill a franchise. This should be avoided.

Yea, I believe OP does not have a firm grasp in reality. Even more less so, in finance, budgeting, and any knowledge when it comes to business.
Dear OP, it is a noble idea, but it will never even be brought up to the EVE board's room. I don't want to sound rude, but I sincerely believe that you need to go out, socialize, maybe take a lesson or two in introductory business courses, get a white-collared job, and try to get a firm grasp of how things work in our society. |

Ill have to say no to this, TV shows are effing expensive and so is software. Incarna could have easily reached multiple million dollar project. Dust is much higher on the budget as well considering it hasnt made money yet nor can it if ccp canceled that game they'd probably go bankrupt if the game is on loan.

if you were going to make a tv show then i think the amarr/jovian war and the minmatar breakaway would have a great plot, not just with space action sceanes but with drama too. |

Fox doesn't like anything for more than two seasons. Fox only took back Futurama because MG held them to ransom over The Simpsons. |

Just make it Reality TV. Film some average joes and some prominent figures like the Mittani in their daily lives. It's how you make money with TV these days. It's less expensive too. |
