What if CCP would ally itself with a movie company and make ... um... a movie?


They should get the exact cast, crew, and director from Wing Commander. Now that was a great example of good scifi...

Potentially a stretch, but Aliens vs Predictors.

The Alien series was of course it's own franchise as was the Predator series, both came from books.. They were brought together by a comic book that was released in the early 90s, which was later turned into a FPS video game that had decent success. This later brought about the fan fare to allow the movies to be made in which there have been two to date, both using their own story-lines out side the realm of the game & comic book.

It was probably a unique case of having a game built around the idea that started from a book/movie combo that led to a comic book that allowed a game to happen which later helped spur along more movies.



The new Aliens movie was prettty good, even if they ripped off firefly. I don't care what anyone says, I liked it!

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

As long as neither Micheal Bay or Roland Emmerich are in charge of anything, it might have a chance of being a decent movie.

That guy shouldn't be allowed to use crayons to draw a picture, let alone cameras.

I think, given the vast nature of the game, a series would be far better suited than a movie or two. There is just too much material to try and cram into a 2-3 hour flick. Given the nature of Eve, I think something between BSG and Star Trek would visually come close. But that's just me.

Up and coming AWESOME video game based movie with Michael Fassbender (Magneto from X-Men: First Class): http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/09/michael-fassbender-cast-in-assassins-creed-movie

I am entirely confident the movie will be amazing.

Here are some ideas I had over the years.

First up make an origins movie using the EVE lore, the original intro movie was mind blowing to me when I first saw it. Imagine taking that, perhaps starting off in our galaxy, showing the expansion of mankind, wars etc and then the discovery of the New Eden wormhole, then start the movie proper once humans start to settle on this side of it. Show the expansion of the races, the Jove going off on their own etc. End it with the collapse of the wormhole.

Next movie uses flash backs and more lore to kick it off, then use more lore from the early eve expansions plus player made content to fill out the rest of the film, its not like there would be a shortage of it. This method could be used to bring us up to the release of say, the Empyrean Age. There were some amazingly descriptive elements to that story that would transfer superbly to the big screen, possibly the entire book could be made in to a screenplay.

Follow that on with lore from more of the expansions, add in more player created material including alliance wars etc, you could even work in things like hulkageddons if you tried hard enough. Possibly throw in parts of the Burning Life book as well and that would make another good movie.

That brings us up to the present, with the imminent realisation of DUST wars, the Templar One book, even more player made content along with more expansions released by CCP. Now if one movie was made and released every 3 years or so, by the time the content created up until now was exhausted, you would have another 9 years of material to work with.

What do you think? Any good? Feel free to comment.
