Hi all,

I cannot be the only person to consider this? Several years after first playing and reading the beginnings of eve ive always consider this...

I cannot see why CCP haven't considered a film? You could easily start a film of how eve came about, leaving earth, first stargate, loss of stargate etc, you could even follow up with a tv series following each race and the current events in game running along side a tv series?

Theres a huge money sink there CCP seriously consider it, after reading your books I definitely would enjoy a film or two!!!

Just make sure its not an animation... and spend a little bit of cash please couple hours as well none of this 30 minute films Roll

Any one else like to add to this?

It would be pricey but very cool!
Their "trailers" in the past have alot of depth to them and feel more like trailers to a full blown animated film/series, and always make me want to see more of it, and to see how it plays out. But then nothing, cause it was just a trailer Cry

To date, CCP has had little trouble finding money sinks without your help. It's the money sources that seem to elude them. Roll

HUGE supporter of the EVE feature film idea. Hell, they could even do it fully animated like their trailers and it'd still be amazing. Love love love it.

ACT 1. SCENE 1.

The camera pans around the Captain's room on Jita 4-4.

Standing facing the screens is Captain Grob of the starship 'Voltan Fury'. He's looking intently and the screens for a moment or two giving the camera time to zoom in on his face.

Another camera shot. He turns walks to the opposite side of the room and purposefully jabs at the button on the wall. Nothing happens. He jabs again.

The door refuses to budge.


"CUT!"

still trying to imagine what this film (or TV series) could be about.....

botting?
mining?
missioning?
trading?
suicide ganking?
thefting?
huge 0.0 sec battles? (dont' forget to include TiDi... i think something about 10 hours showing one battle would be cool)

That would be an interesting film. Taking seven EVE players and showing a day in the life of.. not just the player but his pilot too (sort of intermeshed together).
-A freighter pilot
-A scammer
-A null corp CEO
-Hisec ganker
-A capital pilot
-A corp thief
-A pirate

This is the true story... of seven strangers... picked to live in a house...work together and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real...EVE: It's Real.

Uwe Boll should do it. He'll bring his own ideas for a storyline too.

Eve too complicated? Try Astrum Regatta.

In this case, it's the repetition that makes the joke funny. I laughed.

I love how people have no idea how eve came about...

The film could easily be based on how eve came about the "storyline" behind it,

Yes ok when we play its pirating, killing bots, station trading etc but there's still alot of back story, things people do take notice to, like my self I have and will always read into the storys people and ccp have produced over time,

Theres so much they could do with a film as well as tv series,

I just love the trolls on the forum lol...

On a serious note this would make a great film and tv series each race has its own story, stories can easily be written films made from this.
