EVE General Discussion

Does Interstellar have anything to do with this?

Go back to WOW ?

You know nothing, or have not dived into the lore. which is tons and tons and tons of stuff. but that's alright, you can think whatever you like

I won't discuss about WoW knowledge and knowledge base and so on here since the thread subject is about an EVE Online Movie, from CCP, with a Please attached to it (attached to the subject that is).

So, there are a few fan made movies and a few CCP Trailer or short clips or short films about EVE Online.

I didn't read the 3 books, and I suspect that there is more to it since it does take storyboards to make books or some form or structures.


Some of the reason I mentioned Interstellar is because that it did relate to EVE Online although the movie is not about EVE Online.


So anyways, CCP does have a lot of material which they created material on, actual blue prints for many of the items ingame which did change over time in names or other btw.

There are other effects which they own right to the production, authorship, creation and imagination of in regards to stories that are unfolding.

They also have live tournaments , even the cloning systems change and the changes in the Empire Faction control of Regions , constellations and systems.


But the point is, will they make an actual commercial movie, beside the hundreds if not thousands of documentaries that are produced on EVE Online.

Remember that EVE Online is designed to integrate competition and as such is not only a RPG or PvE type of competition that is locked in a rigid framework.
Players and participants outside of the CCP company (and inside as well, although not published, and to limited extent ) affect the competition in great parts of EVE Online game play.

I don't know how many of those Players would be integrated in a commercially released movie?
One movie in which players are not directly related to the business, even though 3rd parties also get licensed to a certain extent.

Saw comment and a debate about no lore....

No lore? Eve has some of the most well developed and richest lore of all the video games. Some might have more novels, such as halo and does WoW have novels? Even putting aside the canon fiction, eve's player driven environment has made for some of the best inspiration and events for fiction.

I could fill multiple books with fiction based around my experience sansha incusion live events alone.

In the meantime, for newer players, there are three good shows about eve made. Look up the "Clear Skies" saga.

way i seen it was, do we really need another lord of the rings style movie...

A gritty, brutal space opera in the vein of Battlestar Galactica meets GoT - set in the EvE universe? With story arcs based on some of the epic player shenanigans? Yeah, I'd watch that. Over and over again. But there's allot that could go wrong with it. Game to movie tie-ins are usually pretty awful.

No, because 90 mins of people ganking miners doesnt make for interesting viewing.

@Evasive Shadow Assassin
The only reason Waste of Web was so popular is because it was the first MMO to run on almost any machine and could be played by any idiot.
The lore panders to the same people.

I dont want a movie about the game, I suppose it would look awful. I want the movie that is taking place in EVE world, good movie, with characters fitting, and storyline fitting to this world.

Action movie. With shooting and explosions.
