Movies about domain names

[SamirAz86]

Just wanted to ask you friends is there any documental or biographical movies about domain names!?

I know about Social Network etc but it is about website!

And how about domain names? When try to search in G I see only (.movies) in search results

Any ideas?

A movie about domain names.. hmm. None that I know of, but for sure I would watch it! Or even help write it, play a role.

What we need:

- A solid plot (goodness knows, easily extracted from a few threads over the years here on NP)
- An association with something that most people understand, eg., an art heist
- A recognizable actor, actress at least for the main role
- A travesty, a connection to a character that goes beyond domaining
- An ending that allows for a second movie, the first will surely flop but at least the seed is planted

....

The movie could be based on something like:

- the rise, and/or fall, of someone who discovered domains
- a domain name itself, and the stories accompanied with each owner over the years with its sale or drop, coming full circle back to the original owner
- a grand theft, this could be a good guy, bad guy thingy, maybe the theft could reflect something for the greater good.. involving Anonymous

A proper name of course.

"Dude, Where's My Domain?"
"Domain Royale"
"The Fast and the Curious"

"Domain names? Hmm... what is it?"
"The story about domains"
"What do you know about domains?"

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Domains But Were Afraid to Ask
Directed by Woody Allen

 

[DrJacoby]

I'm thinking a comedy called "That Lame Guy".

 

[DrJacoby]

On a more serious note; someone should make a documentary about the Epik scandal.

The title could be "F*cking Epik!".

It's only proper we're venturing into possible collision issues with domain movie names

Sex.com: One Domain, Two Men, Twelve Years and the Brutal Battle for the Jewel in the Internet's Crown​

Paperback – May 17, 2007​

by Kieren M McCarthy (Author)

4.2 out of 5 stars

4.2 on Goodreads


With five million page views every day, sex.com was the most valuable piece of virtual real estate on the planet. But the fact that it didn't physically exist didn't mean that it couldn't be stolen. With an ingenious scam-the full details of which have never been revealed until now-lifelong con man Stephen Cohen was able to snatch the domain name and walk into a life of untold wealth and luxury. But Cohen underestimated the determination of Gary Kremen-sex.com's original owner-to get his property back. It took ten years and millions of dollars, but Kremen eventually saw, and, on occasion, forced Cohen to pay for his crimes. This is the inside story of the extraordinary battle between two extraordinary men: a Stanford scholar with uncanny foresight, and an uneducated, genius con man with an unnatural gift for persuasion. The fight pushed each man to the edge, rewrote the law, and shaped the history and development of the Internet as we know it.

Not a movie, but I liked the book. I couldn't put it down.

This is a very good idea, however it's better to slightly change the genre.

A documentary would definitely be cool. Featuring some of the well known domainers....

I'd watch it for entertainment value and depending on production for educational purpose.
