Casting for Elite Dangerous: The Movie

The more I think about it, it maybe should be a film without actors.. you know. just to show the vastness and lonlyness of space.

Just a space-ship interior a lot of scenery and undertitels and a piano.

edit: the commander would be charly chaplin in the extra after the filmcredits.

Actually, if someone has the patience, make BBC Planet Earth-like episodes with exploration footage. Nebulas. Black Holes. Asteroids. etc.
 
I have a solution:

Preset:
First we need a very very good writer. Without a good lovecraftian horror-scifi story that is plausible and interesting plot it wont lift off. Game of Thrones in space? Winter is coming. Or plain hero adventure movie with universal twist.

Then each of us gets a scene and we just try to construct it with our in game cameras. I know we lack space legs but once we have a fast draft, it can be pitched to Hollywood.

Daniel Radcliffe to kill Salome.

I do not know if you realized this yourself, but that is actually brilliant!

OP, I like your thread but how dare you put forward the cardboard box that is Jason Statham to play anyone - you hurt my feels and my head!
 
I thought more about a mix of John Carpenter, Ridly Scott and ... Stanley Kubrik?

Alan Dean Foster should have been writer.

I think Sigourny Weaver should be Arissa Lavigny D.

I'd give you rep but I have to spread it around more. :)

I'd give you Paracetamol but I don't have any* :D

I picked him as an no-nonsense Commander, but really it depends on what kind of Commander we want at the start of the movie. Is he (she?) some inexperienced Mostly-Harmless kid, who was left some Sidewinder by his late uncle? Or an more experienced, Expert/Deadly warrior with an Engineered Python?

Heck, they don't have to be some combat-focused Commander, they could be some rare-trader or miner or explorer, who gets sucked kicking and screaming into some adventure. Popcorn not included.

*But I'd love to see Jason Statham as an miner, outwitting a wing of FDLs in his mining T6 :p)

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
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.
