Thoughts On a Sea of Thieves TV series?

@flintlock-dan No? smh. What kind of silly question is that?

I think like a lot of tv shows we’d like to see, they’d look good on paper but not in practice. I’d still like to see it though, although I think if something that were to happen, it would be more like a YouTube series or something. Logistically I don’t think you could get people to sign up for a movie like that unless it was made by a big studio, which rare would never do. Not to mention, not as many people have heard of this game as you might think. It would only appeal the players, but I doubt everyone else would enjoy it. The chances of ruining it are too high as well for the fans of the game, there’ll be something that the players won’t like. Logistically it would be hard, but I’d like to see how it turns out. Hardest part I think would be the cgi for the skeletons, as well as capturing the uncertainty of the game itself. If you need any help with design though let me know, I’d love to be a part of this

This has always been on my mind, being a film and TV student, studying the work-ins on what goes into making and TV series or films, after playing this game since the BETA, I've always loved playing this game. And I've always wondered what it would be like to see this world being integrated to live action.

Now I know what people would be saying: "How would you film a live action version of this game"?

First of all something that I've learned over the past couple of years, is that you can accomplish anything you want in life, as long that your being creative and most importantly having fun.

Second is "How would the story play out"? I hear you all ask. The story would tell the stories of the NPC's in the game, mainly the tall tales characters on what happened before our characters got involved. It would mainly focus on the pirate lord, captain Briggsy, the crew of the morningstar, Rose and George, Grace Morrow and her crew. It would only be one series as a test to see if people who are fans of the game and normal casual TV goers would be interested in a new pirate television series. After the successful of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, this could be a possible thing that audiences may want to see.

Obviously I could say all of this but at the end of the day it comes down to the community and the developers of the game, to have the last word in all of this. Being here in the UK, I could always ask Rare if they are interested in continuing with this idea in the near future.

Again I'm just an inspiring film and TV student, but again when it comes to something that I'm passionate about something, especially about a compelling story such as this, who wouldn't say no and ask the creators if they can bring their creation to live action?

Apologies if this post is too long, I just wanted to get this idea out there. You can discuses your guys ideas down, on what you would like to see "IF" a live action Sea of Thieves series would be made.

Happy sailing pirates.

I'd rather have a cartoon but that's just me

About 10 years ago...maybe 15...

There was a Toy Line called “Pyrates”. I believe it was made by Megabloks.

Anyway like any good toy line it was accompanied with a DVD. Like it would be included in the more expensive set.

I always felt that it had a huge influence on SOT’s. Maybe they have nothing to do with each other but the art and “world” and skellies vs humans. Almost seemed like the origin of SOT’s was gonna be to make a licensed video game for Pyrates.

Or hell maybe a handful of the guys had these as kids and that’s where some of it “connected”.

or maybe playmobil is somewhat of a thing to this game as well

You wanna see 30 minutes of spawn camping newbs? I'd watch that!

he means player stories not 30min spawn camping newbs

@clumsy-george Thanks, I'm trying to finish my studies and then afterwards I'll be going straight into freelancing. I wouldn't mind it being in game whenever the custom servers get realised to the main game.

I've already got the script ready, all I need is actors. That and a crew willing enough to help out. If their was a free roam camera in the custom servers, that would help me out so much?

Again I had the plan/script already planned out, with storyboards and everything. Hoping after the pandemic has finished, I'll start working towards making a fan made short film and post it to YouTube.

Also, yes I do stream this game. I have for the past two years. :)

@stundorn Thanks, because of the pandemic it's been a lot harder to go out and film something that you want to make. I can only imagine what It's like for the Rare team trying to make content whilst being at home.

If the private servers come to the main game soon, I might start making a in game version of my idea. Who knows? :)

What would you guys think, should I just wait until the private servers are realised and then start working on it and keep you guys posted on here on the forums?

If so, could you upvote this comment so that I know?

Cheers.

@marath0n3r I loved watching red vs blue growing up. Brings back so many memories.....

I'll defiantly keep it in mind, thanks.

:)
