I remember some time back, the Evolution trailer was awesome.
Using those same techniques, I am sure moviemakers could actually use models from the game to make a proper movie. With so many accounts now active, there would be quite a market for it already. Many players would buy it just to have a movie from the game they were playing and many more people would buy the movie anyway if it was well made, (notice how well the Wing Commander movie did).
If actors played the roles and it portrayed the actual backstory of Eve, along with a good idea of life in highsec, lowsec and 0.0, I am sure we can get a great movie from the beginnings right up to Eve as it is now with some stunning animation like in the Evolution trailer.
Such things as the skill books shown as plugin mods that feed directly to the brain and work over time. How the mining lasers work and such. This would serve to solve a lot of those annoying riddles that keep cropping up in discussions and once and for all give reasons for certain things to avoid a lot of speculation on the forums.
I think that if the animation was done as well as the evolution trailer, the final film would be a major hit with a good storyline to back it.
Does anyone else think that Eve would make a good film?

It would be f-ing awesome. Whitewolf has some minor experience when it comes to their material being used in movies, or at least having movies loosely based on their content and style.
Alas, it's one of those dreams that'll probably never see the light of day.
Remember the D&D movie? Neither do I. God that was awful.

That's not true, look at the chronicles.
It'd be hard to do much with pod pilots, but the universe is a lot more than that.

It definitely would not be the first or last time a movie came from a game.
One that comes to mind (Cause I loved the series) was a movie based off of Battle Tech.
Would be interesting to see

Actually, I wanted to start off an EVE movie. A nice CG fight scene to start off cuz I suck as an actor. But if we could for example create an short EVE movie of one of the chronicles with the community that would be AWESOME. There are other dedicated people in this community, so what do you say?

In my heart, I cry out YES!
In my brain, I cry out HELL NO! REMEMBER WING COMMANDER? REMEMBER DnD? REMEMBER UWE BOLL?
Although despite myself, I have to admit I kind of liked Doom, even if the demons werent from hell.

Wouldn't be too hard to make it about pod pilots, you can have battle scenes(get Dire Lauthris to make these) when they're in ships and have human interaction when they're in stations or on planets.

Opening scene...
The POD opens after hizzy and such other spooky noises and brown goo flows out the POD through the grill below.
Camera pans up as a man steps out of the POD in a tight latex suit, showing every muscle and other parts.
As the camera pans up more, the mans hand lift up a pair of minmatar aviator glasses at the same time.
The camera stops as the man lights up a cigar.
Camera zooms back...
The man blows out a puff of smoke.
As the smoke lingers in the cold metallic POD clearing chamber, the man steps forwards through the smoke and grins before saying:
"Ze Amharrs haev been teeeerminaaated!"
Arnold Schwarzenegger is...POD PILOT!

So because you are played by PIerce Brosnan, you can get Halle Berry?

It could be awesome. Then again, that might wreck EVE with new players zerging onto the single server and break the game's network.
So, kind of a good news, bad news thing. hehe

wot about...
a film telling the story of the fall of new eden? I think Eve has some of the best background story in a sci-fi game
then cut to a bit of blob warfare, with the film running at 1fps.

Yes there will be an EVE movie, I predict it. Having some background in the business I can say that Hollywood (not that we need them but I digress) is starving for ideas and content. The best they have to go on this past decade is remakes of original films and pumping out sequels to existing brands.
EvE is an exciting place and has zero to do with anything close to Star Wars, Star Trek, or any other sci-fi property around. Eventually, if the EVE brand survives over the next several years I believe that somebody will come knocking on CCP's door for either some Sci-Fi channel TV series, or a full blown motion picture.
When Hollywood is scrabling to eat what table scraps are left, and are choosing between a Casablanca remake, the newest Herbie film or Ghostbusters 3, EVE will be a refreshing direction, and will come in the next wave of sci-fi interest that won't involve having to hire Arnold Swartzenegger. Though, who else could really play Sir Molle?

I think that there is some potential for a good movie. The short story Ruthless already has more plot than most of the movies coming out of Hollywood. I would pay to see something like that on the big screen.

Lets be honest, if they do make a real movie it will probably be based on prime fiction, not player generated game play (though that does provide plenty of ideas).
I would rather it done right as opposed to what happened to Wing Commander. Either a good movie or no movie at all.
