EVE MOVIE OR SERIES, MAYBE BOTH?

Now, just freaking imagine a movie about the EVE universe. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine how much money CCP would have made? The Jove lore by itself is worthy enough of a movie. Maybe a series? Because a movie wouldn't really give justice for how great and big the lore for EVE is. I am secretly having fetishes about this happening. Anyone else agrees?

A series is rumoured to be in the works.

You're late to the party. It's already happening.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Maybe they are enclosed right now, but if we could see the creation of the Jovians and the progress they made while doing all their experiments. Now that would be epic. 10/10 would drivel on my D.

It'll be decent. But the books probably have done better justice than the series will.

The books always do more justice, most of the time. I just imagine a big picture corp picking up and funding the idea. That could be made into some radical stuff! The thing with EVE is that it would require quite a bug budget order to make it good. The amount of CGI required is over 9000.

A show is only as good as it's writers. I'll withhold judgement for now as to how 'awesome' it would be.

In any case, no one that plays the game will like it. It's just the way these things work.

I wanna see a New Order film.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

Are you mad? Myth says that if a door ever opens it will be the Ragnarok of New Eden.

Films and TV shows based on games have been, virtually without exception, awful.

I remain curious but sceptical.

Only if Chibba can be played by Vin Diesel.

I've always seen Chribba as better played by Martin Sheen. Or maybe William Shatner. Depends on the script.
