EVE General Discussion

People would do exactly what they do with GoT, they'd torrent it anyway.

If a miniseries were to be commissioned by HBO regarding EVE then I hope it would be done in such as way as the John Adams miniseries. Yes, totally different to internet spaceships, but it was done brilliantly well. Giving that there is a vast source of player created history within EVE, there is plenty to choose from. So much so in fact that I suspect the hardest part would be deciding what / who to centre the story around.

In my personal opinion, I would love to see a miniseries, series of movies, or an actual TV show done about the last time the empires were all at war about 100 years ago. That would definitely be worth watching with all the political back and forth, epic space combat, and if done in a 6 part miniseries, potentially leading up to a proper TV show series, then I think that could work. The key would have to be in getting someone to write a damned good character based story around those events using characters mentioned in the lore. It is often easy to get too focused on the shiny things and not have a proper story. Theres a lot there, but also a lot to expand upon. If that were to be done and be successful, then I imagine that could be then expanded into a spin off TV series based in the capsuleer era.

CCP + BBC. Any other argument is invalid, courtesy of The Doctor.

you clearly haven't read the eve books. I've ready emperian age, and am part way through the burning life. so far, they are both quite good and would have an awesome plot for a movie (probably not a TV show though). and if they were to get the image and general quality of most of the eve trailers and sneak peeks, it could be an awesome thing to behold.
if it were made into a TV show, I imagine the sub rate would skyrocket if it was done well.

EVE is ultimately about people, we have no monsters and aliens in our lore just a mysterious post human race, which could mean it would actually be a pretty awesome show.

I always thought a show chronicling the gallente/caldari and amarr/minmatar wars would be awesome because of it's allusions to present socio-political issues of Earth.

What people liked most about B5 is that it had a scripted story arc, from the first episode, through to the last of season 4. (they had to make it faster, as they were told they weren't getting season 5).

That's not every episode scripted, but a proper arc where the major points were all sketched in. Unlike the Lost approach (throw stuff at the wall, see what sticks, try to draw it all together later)

CCP and MTV should hook up.

Reality based EVE.








*sarcasm

Wrong person for the role, she'd just adopt all the Minmatar. I'd personally go for Milla Jovovich, she don't like zombies so the sansha would be well and truly screwed.

No matter what the storyline is, the four main characters should be Nathan Fillion and David Tennant, with Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana rounding it out. I mean, how freakin' sweet would that be?!

EDIT:
My racial breakdown:
Amarr - Zoe Saldana
Caldari - Sigourney Weaver
Gallente - David Tennant
Minmatar - Nathan Fillion

Granted, this is all highly theoretical anyways, but I'd be supremely happy just to see a tv/film adaptation...Hell, even just a proper Hollywood-produced Clear Skies movie, even if it was all CGI (which could be a cool homage to it's machinima roots).

A half hour Clear Skies type show on SyFy would be cool
