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

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

That works

I have to say that I'm expecting the worse to come out of this. If it's any good I will be surprised. I just need to know only one thing: Who's idea was it? I want to know so that way there is a clear line of blame. Don't need to go around blaming innocent people, that's how flame wars get started.

I guess Stanley Woo will be the Volus Shadow Broker Agent on the citadel, that's a given.

Either that or the Biotic God...a Great Wind of the forums.

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)

A good movie is not about how many people dies :-/.
But then you say you're no fan of Blade Runner. I guess we have very different tastes.
I just hope the "I'm Legend" writer doesn't touch this movie, what a way to butcher an amazing book.

Meh so long as if it tanks whoever is funding it doesn't have Bioware on a hook for the money I really don't care. I would lean towards not being a good idea, but that is just my gut feeling.

If it sucks I wont watch it and will basically pretend it doesn't exist. I've done it in other cases like Max Payne, the movie sucked so I didn't watch it. Same will be true of the ME movie, if it sucks it should be ignored.

I'm not really optimistic about this unless the Bioware crew has a lot of say in the production process. If that not the case you can expect a dumb-down rehash of one of the main storylines. My vote goes for either looking at a different character like Anderson or doing a completely new storyline and/or character.

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

See a doctor about that Reaper fetish.

Some people are just allergic to villians with motivations aside from "We are the bad guys and will kill you all because some one has to"...

Not at all, I just see Humans vs Turians as being somewhat anti-climactic - especially if the movie is set before the games.

Aside from that, Turians just aren't all that evil or threatening - unless there's a major story twist in the works. Reapers make a more logical choice for enemies in my opinion.

Me, I'm just fed up with the whole "good vs evil" you contantly see on Hollywood movies. That's one of the reasons why a first contact war seems like a good idea to me.
And I wouldn't say the Turians aren't threatening, specially not at that time, they're supposed to have much better technology and resources and they can be quite single-minded. Oh, and they have scales .
Anyway, the movie shouldn't be only about war and action, that would mean a very dumbed down story.

Chris, anyone, please, don't make a "Canon" Shepard. I beg of you.

First Contact?

The only reason I have doubts that they'll go with the First Contact war, is because it could potentially be a dead end as far as the movie franchise goes. I'm referring specifically to story development and possible sequels if it's successful.

Seriously, where to for story advancement after First Contact, if that's what the movie is based on? The books? The games? It's all been done, and the universe has been fairly well fleshed out. I dread the thought of an accursed reboot for the sake of a movie being made.

I love being cynical.

Dominic Purcell would be a dead ringer for the default male Shepard. You look at him in Blade Trinity and then start a new game with a default male Shepard and there is already similarities on both appearance and body size/condition.Be interesting to see where the movie goes.I just hope it doesn't turn out to be another horrible Video Game to Movie adaption.

[Jebel Krong]

if they make shep a female i'll certainly boycott it - they've got to stick with delauft and go with a male - someone like christian bale who can do renegade as well as paragon... a translation of the first game's event would work well as a film - the structure is quite pronounced and cinematic and the story is certainly strong enough - giving you enough introduction to the universe whilst maintaining momentum and story coherence.

[Terror_K]

If it's just a straight remake of the game, what is there really for this movie to accomplish? Seriously. I mean, all the fans know what the story is, they all know what the twist is and what the ending is already. Rebooting it will just anger fans, and the only way they could do a decent job of adapting the games' material directly is to do it 100% accurately, which, again, just leads to a product with no surprises that we've all experienced before in a much more meaningful manner. Simply put: I see no way this can work unless you take an unexplored portion of Mass Effect's universe and use that, which would mean no Shepard and mostly unfamiliar characters. The best thing they can do is tie it into the existing canon rather than retooling it or doing their own interpretation of existing events. And I just get the feeling that's not going to be the case, as unique and original as it would be.

If only Stanley Kubrick was still alive and directed this I would of have 100% trust that this movie would be a hit of the decade..

[Armatyr]

i still think doing Captain Andersons story would be a good Story for mass effect the movie

taking your first point: broadening the audience for the games? that's gotta be the biggest draw - especially if it's a good adaptation. and if we get a good mass effect, we can then get other games properties in the future, as well - like avatar paving the way for 3-d. just because those who have played the game know what's coming, doesn't mean you can't appreciate it in another medium entirely (and let's face it some trimming of length will have to be done). does watching a film of a book spoil the book? - no (unless the film is crap, maybe), if you disagree, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter et al would like a word with you (and i'm not a big fan of either).

[OrioTecc]

Do not want.

Well, whatever happens, at least bring back the "Wall of Sound" team, with the classic Mass Effect score. If I hear just another orchestral score, or another Bruckheimer/Zimmer action-clank mess, I'm leaving the theater...

Not to rain on your parade, well actually yes, I'm going to and I will enjoy so.


If Shepard is in the movie, there is a 0% chance it will be FemShep. Zero. Percent. Chance.


Disregarding the fact that all the promotional materials BioWare and EA made for the game, and the first game, used a MaleShep as the centrepiece, male-leads in movies bring in significantly more ticket sales than females. It's a sad and reprehensible fact of our society, and a movie such as Mass Effect is not the time to start trying to buck the trend.

Sad, I know. A lot of people see FemShep as canon and that's in many ways due to the (in my opinion) superior performance by the voice actress. But your facebook group is almost the definition of redundant. A waste of time. Just accept the fact that it will be MaleShep and enjoy the ride.

[biomag]

I think its a bad timing for the movie. The first contact war doesn't fit as a stand alone. See it from a neutral position and not that of someone who knows the universe. What's the point of a war that lasted just a few days? Why did the turians attack? If you explain its because of the rachni, people will wonder who are does rachni and the film will feel incomplete. And as soon as you start the dialog between turians, council and humans, you are forced to explain the whole background. To what point? You start the film with colonization, followed by a brief war part followed by long explanations without a proper finale.



It would make more sense to turn Anderson's story into a film. It gives the audience a slow start into an unknown universe, but it also has a clear ending and it could be seen as a stand-alone story. Otherwise maybe Jacob's background could be used.



Shep's story is too long for a single film, would force a canon version and take away a big part of ME-charm of modeling an universe by your decisions.

That's the only way I would pay to see it. Since resurrection isn't still possible, and it seems the movie will be about Shepard, don't count me in. A pity.
