Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.08.13 16:41:00 - [1] What do you think? CCP has probably had offers from various companies etc, and I bet something is cooking. But what about the EVE movie, what would it be like....or more importantly what should it be like? I cant help to fear that it may become a type of movie that the playerbase will hate...kinda like the resident evil movies. Great games but utter rubbish movies. EVE the movie should be gory and scary Event horizon style, and not rubbish battlestar galactica style. So who should direct it? Not Uwe Boll or Paul WS Anderson (may they both die a slow death) Anyhow, EVE movie....discuss. Caldari and proud

Battlestar gallactica is an absolutely amazing series and if eve the movie were 1/10th of what BSG is then it will be good.
Tarminic Black Flame Industries	Posted - 2007.08.13 16:45:00 - [3] Michael Bay should direct it - all the slow-motion scenes could be done during fleet battles. Seriously though, I don't see EVE being a very good film just because it's nature (a continuous storytelling with many nuances) would be especially compatible with a 2-hour film. I think it would make a much better series similar to Babylon 5 that told the particular trials and triumphs of an alliance over the course of the game's history. That also leaves plenty of room open to explore other groups, lore, etcetera and doesn't require a 50 million dollar budget. ------------ Whiners - Unite! Tarminic - 25 Million SP in Forum Warfare.

Antiochus Laetus Gallente	Posted - 2007.08.13 16:52:00 - [5] I really hope you dont mean Battlefied Earth, with Travolta To quote Jonathan Ross Quote: Everything about Battlefield Earth sucks. Everything. The over-the-top music, the unbelievable sets, the terrible dialogue, the hammy acting, the lousy special effects, the beginning, the middle and especially the end. God above, it's bad. Sweet baby Jesus, it's bad. By all that is holy and sacred on the Earth, this is a bad, bad, bad film New sig coming.

Battlefield Earth! and yes terrible film. I think if someone was to make a perspectus for EVE, they would stick to the back stories. ie. Follow a Mimitar Freedom fighter leading a Fleet against the Amarr, or something simliar. delving into the "REAL" time stories (see current conflict about the game.) could potentialy bog down the plot with too many nuances etc.. (think too many inside jokes etc..) I so came to party! Founding member of the "Gonna Gank a CareBear Alliance"
Pixel Venetta	Posted - 2007.08.13 16:55:00 - [7] It's already being worked on.
General StarScream Gallente Beasts of Burden YouWhat	Posted - 2007.08.13 16:57:00 - [8] I have allso tought about it. and if i where to pick, i would do it in Sin city style. both in setup, and in look, with sinester storys, and some nice once as well, doing short storyes, alot of those that are writen about eve is very good, and could be made into scripts for movis, once more the kinda setup the sincity. i think it would fit eve very nice, and bring out the game in the moive.
Wardog 1 Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:00:00 - [9] There are no discernable main characters, no general plot to speak of, and it only has a target audience of about 100,000 people. Transformers had a massive fan base back in its day. Halo does now and the halo movies in production. Hell, remember street fighter, MK, and that odd sci-fi that was based off wing-commander or something? Well aside from maybe wing commander, all the game come movie titles have had one important thing. Characters. The closest thing eve has to the aforementioned are the ships, but unlike transformers, our giant pieces of metal dont talk. I really doubt theres any kind of hollywood-esque eve movie in production. I'll just wait for the evolution videos if they're ever released.
La Hafiz The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:04:00 - [10] Siigari Kitawa is already working through it and it's in the editing process.
Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:04:00 - [11] Originally by: Snapp Follow a Mimitar Freedom fighter leading a Fleet against the Amarr, or something simliar. I think thats way to cheesy to be honest. It should more be a Quintin Tarantino type of film with the story of mutliple characters being told. I dont think I could stand a classical 'good vs bad' movie where Ice Cube plays minmatar going 'yeah MOTHER***** AMMAR WHATS UP NOW FOOL I BUST A CAP IN YO ASS!!!!' Caldari and proud**

Considering how 99% of all Hollywood movies are utter crap thats a good thing. I would rather see a smaller budget movie made by a smaller company rather than 'lets screw the script and create cool specialeffects hollywood'. Caldari and proud
ZinderX500 Caldari Mythos Corp RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:09:00 - [14] Owww come on. I love Battlefield Earth !

JamesTalon Caldari Electric Fury Corp	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:18:00 - [16] I'd say a movie that included the fight for Caldari freedom from the Opressive Gallente would be better "Return with your shield, or on it."
LeiPai Hsaun	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:21:00 - [17] battlefield earth gave me aids. however, anyone read the book? it's pretty sweet: easy read despite it's size. if an eve movie was to be made, it would have to be about one crew. to develop the characters, it would have to be a small ship. a small ship would have to bring home the bread through things like, i dunno, smuggling and intel gathering etc. they should call it firefly.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:23:00 - [18] I'd like to see some novels churned first, before a movie is attempted. And you know how being bad is sort of like continuous loop, with certain things being so bad that they're good again? Well Battlefield Earth is so bad that it goes right through being "so bad it's good" and in to just plain bad again. --------
DarkMatter Sintered Sanity	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:23:00 - [19] Edited by: DarkMatter on 13/08/2007 17:24:11 I actually think having no characters is a benefit. You can develop whatever characters you want, whatever story you want. This will help non-EVE'ers get into the movie, as they need no pre-knowledge of any specific characters, etc... Quote: battlefield earth gave me aids. however, anyone read the book? it's pretty sweet: easy read despite it's size. It was a great read IMO... My Infinity Ship Designs: T-Y9, Hauler

Umit Davala Corpus PCG The State	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:23:00 - [21] I don't think an Eve film would really work. What might work however, is a film based on one of the Iain M. Banks books. Perhaps, The Algebraist? Its got a very Eve theme (big hulking space battles!), but it also has definable characters. Anyway, aren't we all participating in a kind of Eve: The Movie on a daily basis?

I dont think I could stand a classical 'good vs bad' movie where Ice Cube plays minmatar going 'yeah MOTHER******* AMMAR WHATS UP NOW FOOL I BUST A CAP IN YO ASS!!!!' well more my point is, keep it pretty simple. the unwashed masses of movie watchers are often disuaded by too many intricate story lines. someone mentions Terentino, good point, his movies often fall slightly short of the mark, great films for films sake, bad for reciepts, wich is what 99% of the industry is concerned with. for a small budget niche film, wouldnt need much really, some CGI work, some green screen, and someone to write some decent dialogue, but if your wanting to see it in say a cineplex or big theatre your going to want to keep it simple, and your going to want good acting. heh or elase we would wind up with another WINGCOMMANDER! bleh. I so came to party! Founding member of the "Gonna Gank a CareBear Alliance"
DarkMatter Sintered Sanity	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:31:00 - [23] Edited by: DarkMatter on 13/08/2007 17:32:09 I honestly didn't think WingCommander was that bad... But I also liked Doom a lot too, so I guess I just like cheesy Sci-Fi sometimes... I will agree with the person who mentioned Event Horizon. It needs to be that dark, or darker IMO... No comic reliefe whatsoever, just pure space grit... And I would make sure no NOT use any of the player characters, corps or alliances in game. And don't even hint at any of them...

Erica Kitawa	Posted - 2007.08.13 17:32:00 - [24] First, this is Siigari :) Second, realize all the information in the thread you are about to read through is outdated. I was going about it totally wrong, interested in producing an indie film from start to finish. This is NOT the way to do it, especially after watching an acquaintance of mine ruin a movie because he was involved in every aspect of it. The film is currently in the editing process and is being reworked to become a script. (It's a pain in the ass, and has taken me the greater part of 8 months.) Click here to read the start to the EVE Feature story. Please realize that I am going to be moving towards some major producers when the script is finished. I want to make sure that I am doing this professionally, and have surrounded myself recently with people who have been giving me formatting advice, construction ideas, and overall plot enhancements to make a script compelling to a broad audience. This will not disappoint, I hope. :) -Siigari (note- Siigari's account is offline as of like, 8 hours ago... my credit card got maxed this weekend while camping and I'm a poor ingame piwate) :(

I get your point, but the concept you mention has been done to death x 100 and will automatically be compared to other good vs bad movies such as starwars and what not. And, one should never create movies that aim to please the masses because then you get ***** directors such as Paul WS Anderson who created Residen evil and Alien vs predaor. Caldari and proud**

I would like to make a comment if you dont mind Quote: The story This story begins about a week before the wormhole from the Sol system to the New Eden system collapses. Humans are prospering and a new level of unity is present in the ever-growing human population. New Eden is the only system currently populated for this film (for reasons of scale and time) and it is bursting at the seams. Our main characters are a small freighter crew that runs independent missions for various reasons. My biggest issue, is that the timeline will exclude A LOT of EVE's storyline, and EVe technology. People will say 'hey Scoropions were invented much later' and the playerbase will hate it because it doesnt fit the chronicles or anything esle. so all you are left with is a move ment for people who have no idea of what EVE is like....and unless you get George Lucas on the job we all know it will suck. It would be better to create an intro in the move in the same fashion as the game intro. From what I understood by the script its a very simplefied versin of the EVE lore. Caldari and proud

So true. Movies for the masses tend to suck. That's why I have yet to see a good Dungeons & Dragons type movie based on the P&P games. They are always ruined in fear of being a niche film for geeks only. My Infinity Ship Designs: T-Y9, Hauler

It would be better to create an intro in the move in the same fashion as the game intro. From what I understood by the script its a very simplefied versin of the EVE lore. This is something I've been wrestling with for quite some time. I have decided to take the timeline and throw a huge spin to please both myself (the person who I am writing the story for) and everyone else in the EVE world by actually letting Capsuleers exist in this period. There is a scene in story that, before a battle begins, shows a single person getting into a pod and getting loaded into a ship. This is a decision I chose to make to bring the current EVE world closer to everybody else. Jove have been around forever, you know :P Trying to honor the chronicles as much as possible is difficult if you want to create a film that delivers. The problem that I was finding was there is no real feasible antagonist that can be created in current day EVE without making the story a "good side versus bad side" story. Think about it. After watching the movie Sunshine, I realized that this story I have created isn't far off. The wormhole is the central antagonist against many others (the pirates that pick on people coming through the wormhole.) Like in Sunshine, the Sun created a massive enemy... the derelict Icarus One. Though there were no people on it initially.. it killed two characters. We'll see what happens. When my account gets reactivated, I'll release a bit of that scene to you :) -Siigari
Drizit Amarr Lonely out here Black Sun Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.13 18:01:00 - [29] Reading this, I came to the conclusion that Eve can only be similar to a film like Dune. With so many plots and sub plots going on, it's possible to watch the film over and over and follow a different story each time. The Bene Gesseret {sp} and the guild have their own plans. Right from the start, you hear the words "I see many plans. Plans within plans." spoken by the spacing guild member. Referencing the Eve backstory could be a method for creating those many plots and sub-plots. Alternatively, using the backstories as a series of short stories that make up an entire film. Hands of a killer would be a good way to show how we, as pod pilots, have no regard for our crew. Yet another way would be to string several backstories together in the right sequence to create a linear storyline. --

The only reason Dune failed was because it was made during the 70's and suffered from it. That being said, I often watch it when I get home from the pub and dont really feel like going to bed.
