Casting for Elite Dangerous: The Movie

We need a Lori Jameson.
The Elite Movie needs a Jameson in, preferably in a major role.
I've only heard about how bad Marco Qwent is, but he's gotta be the villain.
 
...
*But I'd love to see Jason Statham as an miner, outwitting a wing of FDLs in his mining T6 :p)

He wouldn't outwit anyone.

He would simply jump out, use a mining rope to lasso one of the FDL's, kick the pilot in that special Remlocked pair of underpants, and throw him out.
Kill the other FDL with the first.

Then proceed to run passenger missions for some random Asian princess.

That....is one possible outcome. :D

That's Praetor Shinzon, from Nemesis!

Yep. After that train wreck of a movie, he's done very well for himself.
 
To be honest, an Elite D film sounds boring.

Not if you do it based on this teaser:

Also, no director (I don't care WHO it is) should be allowed anywhere NEAR a movie like this without first playing the game for a year.

I think that the actress who plays Daenereys, Mother of Dragons, would be the perfect choice for Aisling Duval... looks just like her, but for the hair color of course, which is an easy remedy. You are spot on for Hudson, I always imagined the same actor as Hudson.
 
Who is going to voice the Wedding Barge?
Who is going to voice the 'All that tasty cargo..' pirate??

These are the burning questions for me.

Wedding barge: Gilbert Gottfried
Tasty cargo pirate: Christopher Walken

I think her natural color (that I've seen) is dark anyhow.

With all due respect for the creator of that video, but...
That type of movie is what we are trying to avoid.... Disney, pg 6, no sense story with lazors.

---

I want a real heavy philosophical plausible story that connects me and everyone to something real. Learning something useful and inspiring from it. It must be immersion with depth that have never seen the like ever before. Very advanced story with several layers of understanding. From infant to hyperintelligent.
The 6 year old should find the story interesting and the scenery very beautiful and amazing.
The teenage girl should cry and go: "This is the best thing I ever seen. The love scenes are amazing. I love it so much *crying tears of hormonal joy".
The teenage boy should shrug his shoulders and say: "Not enough cartoonish lazors, too realistic, but I liked the story. The worlds, aliens and the sceneries was amazing. I watch the sequel."
The 40 year old dad should find the story even more interesting and go: "WOW!" now that is a movie! When is the next one coming out? I am hooked!".
The super intelligent scientist should go: "I just got to watch this movie again, I found several amazing new scientific ideas from it. And there are puzzles within the hidden secrets I can try solve!"
The movie-lover who watched every movie ever made should go: " This is my favorite, it has all the best stuff of all the movie moments I can ever remember from any movie!".

But that is just my opinion.

so I guess it will be an 18 hour long epic, that's exceptionally thin on storey or even a good trope, has lots of scene that are the same just from a different angle, and would be about 17.5 hours longer than most film directors would a made it...

You mean the Hutton Orbital supercruise scene? Yeah, it may be a bit long and tedious for a single session.

yes that's the one, where he gets to Hutton Orbital then realises he should have gone to Hutton Station in LHS 6309.


I hear they are going to have cameras and lenses from Beigeavision, as Panavision were busy doing anything else....
 
Director should be David Lynch. Producer Raffaella De Laurentiis. Music by Toto and Brian Eno.

Errrr.... No. As much as I absolutely love some aspects of Dune, as a whole, it's not a good film at all.

At. All.

(And it's got Stink in).

Hey, actually... maybe your idea's not bad after all.

I would like Ruairi Robinson to direct it. His Leviathan teaser is so Elite like, it could be sett in our galaxy.

Gas giant gameplay looks fun. :D
 
This is one interpretation. Another one had Daniel Dae Kim instead of Jet Li, and Emilia Clarke instead of Emma Watson, plus a couple of other changes.

The one's that seem to be constants in most of these is Judi Dench, Robert Patrick, Kate Beckinsale and Ron Perlman.

I can already see the reveal at the Frontier Expo:

"For the first time we will show you gameplay of the new game we're working on, based on a Hollywood franchise. It's Elite Dangerous 3.0!"
