The film should just be a giant gag fest starring Legion building consensus on stuff on Earth.

I am personally very psyched for this. I'm always a little leery when I hear that someone is taking one of our games and making something with it (the PnP Dragon Age game, the Mass Effect comics from Dark Horse, etc), but I think it comes down to the quality of the people behind the product.

Legenday Pictures have made some great films in recent years. The Dark Knight, 300, Where the Wild Things Are, and Watchmen shows their respect and good treatment of the source material. This is not a studio that takes a property and turns it over quicky to try to make a fast buck. They put the time and talent into the production to make sure that it is an awesome experience.

Sure, it is still early days when it comes to film development. Now they start writing scripts, hiring a director, scouting locations, building sets, getting a crew ready, casting, filming, music, special effects, editing, etc and al the stuff that goes into making a movie. I actually had a friend on Facebook who said they were looking forward to seeing this during the summer NEXT YEAR! (which made me laugh). Still, I will be watching my favorite movie gossip websites to see how things develop.

They also did Ninja Assassin, which shows that they're not afraid to take risks, which I like.

Well, that is interesting for sure.

The Bioware folks as producers is a good thing, (i guess) though making a movie is different than a game. Actually i think the game industry could learn a thing or two

Legendary Pictures is a good choice. They made overall good movies, (except the dark knight..in my opinion) i hope they come up with a fitting budget for this one.

We will see if Mark Protosevich will be good enough for screenwriting, i hope they will get someone else. His writing for The Cell was good, but when i think about I am Legend and Poseidon..ugh.

Anyway, it will take time before we see anything about it. But there is potential for an entertaining movie. I don´t expect something "epic".

This will be good as long as it doesn't try to do the story arc that occurs in the games. If the movie just uses the ME universe it has the potential to be an epic space opera.



However, if the movie is going be just a rehash of one of the games, then I hope it gets stuck in development hell and never gets made.



Please do something original within the universe, and don't just rehash the games.

[palehorse71l]

The only way they will be able to sucessfully pull this off is to do a Mass Effect Orgins kind of movie. Such as the discovery of the Mars Ruins. However, if they insist on doing a Shepard story they wil fail. I say this because of the several backgrounds and temperment and the many choices each player can make. They can not put all of this into a movie so it may come off as weak and generic. I have already formed my opinions of MY Shepard and Mass Effect...I do not want to see them ruined.

[DeadInHell]

Bioware, if you're reading these responses, in the name of all things holy, please get someone better to write this script. I mean really. The guy wrote I Am Legend? There is no way he will do justice to this universe. In a perfect world, Drew Karpyshyn would co-write with Mac Walters. Maybe someone else can "supervise" if the studio demands that they have someone to shove nonsense into the film. But I see no reason to have the wrong people writing this film when the right people are already part of your team.

[DarthCaine]

They really should have made Drew Karpyshyn or Mac Walters at least as a producer



We can always hope that the story will have nothing to do with the games' story (just like all other ME media, Revelation, Ascension, Retribution, Redemption, Galaxy) and that it will be set before, between or after the games

Yeah, I hope to god this does not focus on the shep arc but instead the rachni wars, krogan uprising, or first contact war.

[ifander]

The First Contact war would be perfect as a first ME movie I think. It's not as risky as adapting existing works (won't ****** off whiners fans by butchering "their" Shepard), the focus is on humans so presumably cheaper makeup, and if the movie fares well they'll have an established basis for future movies. If it flops then at least they won't have blemished the existing games and books. I for one don't mind a ME movie, or a Shepard story for that matter, I'm actually intrigued by a possible movie adaptation. It would be interesting to see the casting. And adapting ME1 might make more sense from a marketing perspective (I'm just guessing here, it makes sense to me at least). But despite me wanting to see ME1 made into a movie, I think the First Contact war would make more sense and be easier to make "good".

EDIT: Not to be a downer here, but executive producers don't have as much say in things as some might believe, so don't expect Casey to shut it down if they try to turn this into a quick money grab. I don't whink they (EP's) will have that much pull in the process. Not that I think Legendary will screw it up. Just sayn'.

Why do people think the First Contact War would be a great setting? It only lasted a few days and only a few people died



Besides, if that was the setting we'd never see all those great sci-fi moments (like the Citadel)



I'd rather they focus on a lone alliance soldier and make the story personal, sort of like Blade Runner (though I'm not a big fan of that movie)

[Sotaklas]

i have mixed feelings about this mass effect is a GREAT game story is amazing so is the characters even the people you meet so if they do it right this gonna turn into a good movie at least and i really hope for a trilogy and god o hope they will not make huge changes or throw the entire 3 games story into 1 movie i guess only time will tell, but i really want this to turn out well .

Chris, why check for news on some unreliable site when the people who are working on it (Greg, Ray and Casey) are only a few doors away from your office?

You'd be surprised how busy those guys are to just chat about movies with me.

Just because the First Contact War is brief doesn't mean it can't make a decent movie length plot. There are such things as the setting, technology and character development which could easily fill the span of two and a half to three hours (if they take the high road).

I am hoping they won't try to just lift moments from the game series, using it as a storyboard. Sure, use it as a reference for a different story, but please don't let the filmmakers lift the plot and turn it into some cheap summer thrillride.

Why can't they focus on a lone Alliance soldier outside of the game series plotline? Hell, they could even make a story around Udina on the Citadel in his first years as a politician between the races and it might be good. Hopefully they'll follow a young Anderson as he's getting recruited as a potential Specter. For me, that would be a best case scenerio.

Many previous posts have mentioned how focusing the story around Shepard would be a big letdown to fans of the games, so I won't go into that.

[Shockwave81]

As long as Mass Effect 3 isn't affected by the vision for the movie, then I probably won't care. Nothing any of us can do about it now though!!



If the movie doesn't have Reaper action, I probably won't be all that interested anyway. I don't want to watch Humans fighting Turians...BORING. Same goes for ME3 for that matter, if the Reapers don't get a chance to invade I'll be severely disappointed.

[Ryllen Laerth Kriel]

Humans fighting Turians is boring...? Damn, some people just can't be satisfied!



See a doctor about that Reaper fetish.

Well, as community manager or whatever it would be useful for them to keep you in the loop about the developments. Then you know what to deny when we eventually find it out ourselves.

if it does not feature shepard at all, im good. I don't want a movie shepard ruining our game shepards.

I completely agree. I don't want some A hole like Vin Diesel ruining my Shepard for me. That's why I think this game will flop with the fans. However the game's blockbuster sci-fi plot could make this interesting for non-fans, I just think long time fans will feel awkward watching a "phoney " Shepard on-screen. I know I will.

Silent Hill was actually a decent game movie. They at least got the "holy hell that is disturbing" aspect of the game right.



So not EVERY game movie is terrible. It might be a small silver lining but it's there.

[J.G]

Scott foley as shepard(look him up), and use as many of the voice actors as possible(not ash and kaiden of course). And this movie might turn out to be EPIC!!!!!!

Shepard? Definitely Dwayne Johnson aka the ROCK! (Unstoppable Killing Machine)

No. He needs to be in a Wrex suit!  Throwing random enemies around everywhere.
