Ok, I have given up so far in finding a reference bible for Freespace 2, so I will do it the old fashioned way.

I am currently in the process of writing a film script for Freespace 1. I have the reference bible and a few other websites on my side so that I can near enough follow the story in more detail.

The problem I have is with Freespace 2. I need storylines, timelines, cutscenes and any thing else which will enable me to complete the second one. I am calling on everyone to help me with this.

My email is [email protected]. Please email me or post a reply.

Many thanks for your help

Quick answer; try the Freespace Wiki

What sort of film is this?

[S-99]

Yeah what kind of film is this

[Apathy]

yeah what sort of movie, lol. Freespace 1 and 2 would both make great movies, or maybe better TV shows like star trek because of how long and deep the story goes. but yeah a movie based on the game would rock, far more than those doom and resident evil movies.

[ShivanSpS]

Is possible? the history is too long for a movie, I think.... Personally I find very hard to make a 3hs movie about FS2... FS1, ocur in a year or so, FS2... well none knows... maybe a month or two...

[Warnstaff]

Because of the number of missions in Freespace 1 & 2, I think it would do better as a series with hour-long episodes

I would definetly watch it

[S-99]

**** yeah
that'd rule. certainly a worthy project, This would be an awesome fan film project, that's if anyone feels like going as far as star trek new voyages, star wreck in the prkinning, and other fan films that are really good and free
one hour episodes would get the job done. the fs2 engine would be great for normal effects and stuff, splice that in with some good acting and camera work, and you've got a project that would take a couple of years undoubtedly. I'm sure everyone has thought about the time necessary to completing one episode. By all means i want to see this happen, and obviously it will be a labor of love.

Seems interesting enough.

[Polpolion]

certanly

I thoroughly agree with this. Freespace 1's history takes place over several months, making it very difficult for a movie to accomodate (unless it was done Star Wars prequel-style ).

I'm looking forward to this, though I also volunteer UT to write some of it.

Hey, yeah, set up in like trilogies, freespace 1 is 3 movies, freespace 2 is 3 movies. It'd be just fine even if the story is only a couple of months long. There was more than enough stuff happening. I think perhaps episodic releases may be better. So far freespace is about all this big universe with all this stuff happening with all your squadmates, completely through the eyes of nameless and personalitiless alpha one. I guess it's sort of like pulling a gordon freeman maneuver which is fine. It also does leave flexibility in the story to make it how you want it to also.
Sounds good.

Sounds good.

which is probably why it would be better to make based on the FS universe and history rather than the missions specifically, and characters would have to be invented not just squad mate designations.

[Singh]

Seems interesting enough.

Indeed.

If you need writers, I'm probably willing to help out. I've got quite a few ideas for stories based on the Freespace universe as a large. Even though i cant write in script, I bet that UT probably could.

[Dark RevenantX]

I like the idea of a movie, but PLEASE do not write it during the time of Freespace 1 and 2.  Write it as a sequel, or at least a prequel, mabey even in-between FS1 and FS2.  Just not during the time that everyone already knows about.

[aldo_14]

Would it not be worthwhile to let the guy reply before deciding what he should and shouldn't do?

[achtung]

He sure seems to be taking his time about posting a reply.

[Apathy]

lol he's probably thinking "oh nuts now I have to do it better just not reply"

[Herra Tohtori]

Or he has buried himself in the FS Wiki he was pointed to...   

[andystephens]

Sorry Guys for the late reply My other half has been ill.

I am loving all the suggestions. I think that the general idea that everyone has is to do a series instead of films. I do like the idea, and I am glad I have supporters who follow me and would watch it.

The only thing is, how would I incorporate btoh FS1 and FS2 into the series, as FS1 ends rather well (I have thought of a great ending if it was a film) and FS2 appears years later.

Would  I just do a completly new series later on based on FS2 or try and roll all into one?

And I would incorporate both the history (I may include a bit more on the Ancients) and a couple of missions which I think would increase TV ratings.

Let me know guys, and I will work with a few contacts to see if I could find someone to produce it!!
