As much as I would like to see this done. As I work within the film and media industry, I really get the feeling that the OP really does not understand how much it costs to make 1 decent episode let alone a full series.

but I won't go on too much about it as I spend way too much time with this stuff already.

One example for me was Firefly, which I thought actually got better as it went along, but studio execs believed otherwise.

EVE has all the elements to be like Game of Thrones where political intrigue mixed with action/war is central to the storyline. People that I thought would never like the Game of Thrones TV series actually love it and can't wait for the next season.

Wasn't there a group at one stage making a fan made EVE movie?


Yeah, it was a frikken brilliant show! I would love to understand the reasons for it being canned,


simple - Fox just does-not like science fiction programs, look at what other programs they axed, then brought back when found to be a money maker *cough* Futurama *cough*


*edit for spell*

Just... no.

This is how you kill franchises.


Yes, doing a ****** movie with marginally talented actors will kill a franchise. This should be avoided.

Yea, I believe OP does not have a firm grasp in reality. Even more less so, in finance, budgeting, and any knowledge when it comes to business.

Dear OP, it is a noble idea, but it will never even be brought up to the EVE board's room. I don't want to sound rude, but I sincerely believe that you need to go out, socialize, maybe take a lesson or two in introductory business courses, get a white-collared job, and try to get a firm grasp of how things work in our society.

Ill have to say no to this, TV shows are effing expensive and so is software. Incarna could have easily reached multiple million dollar project. Dust is much higher on the budget as well considering it hasnt made money yet nor can it if ccp canceled that game they'd probably go bankrupt if the game is on loan.

Dust 514's CPM 1 Iron Wolf Saber Eve mail me about Dust 514 issues.

if you were going to make a tv show then i think the amarr/jovian war and the minmatar breakaway would have a great plot, not just with space action sceanes but with drama too.

Fox doesn't like anything for more than two seasons. Fox only took back Futurama because MG held them to ransom over The Simpsons.

Just make it Reality TV. Film some average joes and some prominent figures like the Mittani in their daily lives.
It's how you make money with TV these days. It's less expensive too.
