While I'm not thrilled with this whole idea of Mass Effect movie, if they're going to do it, it had better be done right.



And freaking Jeffrey Donovan(aka Micheal Westen via Burn Notice)better be cast as Shepard.

hay if they r going to do this they sure piked the best company to do it right

LOL I can't believe people are still arguing about this, oh wait I can. Why not wait for actual news about the movie?

[littleck2002]

If you're looking for a subject matter for the movie how about the rise and fall of Saren from Saren's point of view. How did he become a Spectre? What about the mission with Anderson and the results? How did he find and become indoctrinated by the Reaper? How did he know about the beacon on Eden Prime? How did Benezia hear about what he was doing and try to stop him before becoming indoctrinated herself? Wrex met him before the game, why did Saren hire him and the others for that cargo ship attack? Garrus met him before the game and didn't like him, why did he feel that Saren couldn't be trusted?

If it's a femShep, I'd go for Kate Beckinsale

isnt it logical to think that shepard will be the main character, seeing as the game and story revolve around him in the most part. And its logical to think it will be a male shepard seeing as thats the default shepard in the ME universe (He's On the cover of two games). from what i expect, the movie would make the most sense taking place between Mass Effect 2 and 3, or as part of ME3's story

[Motemeal]

I think they'd be smart to actually avoid using Shepard. There's just too many facets of Shep's personality that the player chooses, and that's kind of the strength of the character.



The Mass Effect universe is big enough that there can be plenty of parallel storylines going within the same plot framework. There's no reason why somewhere on the opposite end of the galaxy, someone can't be facing a Reaper threat from an entirely different angle. As we've seen from Mass Effect 2, the reapers didn't exactly put all their eggs in one basket, and are capable of wildly different approaches to achieve the end goal.



All I know is- if the end "Boss" ends up looking like another cheesy 2-d 1992 side-scrolling Endgame Boss like at the end of ME2, I'm going to be very disappointed.

[Ryuukosusei]

I haven't been on this site for 3 months now, and the first thing I see is this topic.



So. They are making a movie. Well i can only hope it will be on the first contact war. And not on Shepard's storyline.



I really hope Bioware isn't just thinking 'It doesn't matter if the movie sucks or not, people who are fans of Mass Effect are suckers anyway, they will pay to see it, and then they will buy the games. It is a win-win situation for us.'



I'm not going to watch it unless it gets good reviews from the fan base, not the critics.

Agreed, I'd prefer movies that are actually canon, and not merely "based on" the series. The mars discovery and first contact wars would be a great place to start off the movie franchise since it not only establishes the Mass Effect universe, but also allows the existence of every unique Shepard that's been created out there.

Why does this even matter? The move doesn't "dissalow" your Shepard. The move universe is NOT the game. It doens't take away anythingfrom you!  (except maybe in your sick minds)

What can't you people grasp that simple concept?

It matters because people get attached to something they create. In this case, the Shepard(s) they created.
That aside, what's wrong with asking for an original storyline instead of a rehash that fans are already familiar with and likely to poke at with toothpicks ad nauseum?

There's no need to throw personal insults around just because you don't agree with someone asking to see something as new as it is satisfiying.

I've posted this in another thread but I think it belongs here as well.

The movie isnt for *us*   Anyone that actually thinks that BioWare decided to make a movie for all the fans of ME1 and ME2 plus the various other media is fooling themselves.   BioWare is a company and is trying to capitalize on a successful property. The movie is for everyone else. As in the general public that dont play video games or atleast the RPG genre of them.  The movies arent going to affect the games, they are going to exist in their own pocket universe just like X-Men, Spiderman and all the comic book movies.  If BioWare suddenly starts making choices in additional games that are affected by what happens in the movie, then I'll be the person in line complaining too. Until that happens though, or we get more information to imply that this movie is the next bomb in the long list of failed video-game to film adaption I'm going to be positive about it.

So you're saying that ME fans aren't going to be allowed to see the film then? huh.. At least I won't be disappointed now when I get turned away trying to buy a ticket for the theater. Yay savings! I kid, of course.

The movie isn't for "us" or for "everyone else" it's for anyone who's interested in seeing the movie. Of course they want to capitalize on the success of a popular franchise. Which sounds like it will draw in more revenue: a pocket universe, or a canon story which a non-fan can also understand and appreciate? Ignoring the fans is just as much a financial mistake as accommodating only fans. The difficulty with any (insert property) based (insert new product based on property) is balancing the effort to something so everyone can find something to appreciate.

As a movie fan, I want a well storied movie. As an ME fan, I want something that fits well into the ME universe. As a BioWare fan, I want the company to ensure that this movie incorporates something of both wants into a quality product that I can not only enjoy, but share with friends that may or may not be familiar with the stories. With any luck, what we shouldn't get is something that makes people say "I'd rather watch Francis Kitt's unabridged all-Elcor production of Hamlet three times straight than this once".

All in all (as many have already said in over a hundred pages and counting) judgments reserved until after seeing the final product.

Its not directly geared to catch us as new fans though. Thats the main purpose of the movie. Pleasing the current fans is a required but secondary step. Sure they dont want to royally ****** us off, but they already have us hooked.  Most of us have played both games and are going to get #3 to see how it ends. Regardless of what people here want to claim so long as the reviews arent dripping with horrible things most people will drop down cash for a ticket.  Even then I bet some people will go anyways. So its not ignoring the fans but its also opening the property to a much broader audience.  My issue is people screaming bloody murder because its not their Shepard.  Peter Parker wasnt exactely the same in the movies as the current comic version was when it came out.  Heck Peter isnt the same person exactely he was in the comics 10 years ago, or 20 years ago.  Comics recont themselves all the time. Its nearly a requirement now a days to reboot the universe every couple years, be it Marvel or DC.  Is it just because you direct Shepard more you feel this way?  I find it weird. I have 4-5 Shepards I run as my mains. I could care less that the movie isnt *my* Shepard.  The whole point of the game is making various choices. The movie is just going to be one of many.  So long as the characters remain true to themselves it shouldnt matter if Shepard in the movie is male or female. Or slightly more renegade than Paragon.

Everything is speculation obviously though at this point, we're all just really shooting off our mouths to whoever will listen. Myself included of course.  Its just some people I dont feel are looking at this in a big enough picture and want to hunker down in their basements craddling their games thinking the world will end for them if things go south or a different direction than they want it to.

Because re-hashes can be, and have been, very good. Making a good movie from a book...happened about a million times befoire. Making a good re-make of a movie...happened about a million times before.

And now we have people complaining that there shouldn't be a movie about ME1 story, because the story was already seen. You know..Like Batman's story. Batman Begins should have never been made by that logic.
So no. That reasoning is flawed nad pitiful. Legendary pictures bought the rights to the ME1 game, not the universe, so it  WILL be a story about Shepard.

Also, while everyone is entilted to their oppinions, if you insist on declaring stupid oppinions in public, don't be surprised if I call you on them. If your objections are grounded in faulty reasoning, then the conclusions are also faulty.

EDIT:
Someone mentioned that people have their own ideas on how character should act. No. Just no. NPC are 100% Bioware created. their personalities and such. Evne within a game, the plyer has ZERO say in their personality, and even less so in the movie.

[OzgunRonin]

The game has a good senario but a movie about the first contact war and Racni war... krogans will be really really interesting... as some remember the matrix... movies and games where about different parts of the story (at least before the film series ended) so people played the game felt they have a role in the movie and also saw the some parts that they cant see in the movie while there were other people who watches the films happly as they never feeling they have missed something...



I mean the balace is important the game must not lose its importance but making a movie is making art so it must have its own importance...

[ZellThorne]

Dominic Purcell or Sam Worthington as Shepard



Only Seth Green could play Joker, and Keith David as Captain Anderson



Eliza Dushku or Odette Yustman as Ashley Williams



Ryan Reynolds as Kaiden

I HOPE PART 3 COMES OUT ALSO BEFORE MOVIE, BUT THEN TALKING TO MY GAME STORE PERSON DO NOT COUNT ON ME3 TO COME OUT AFTER THE 1ST OF NEXT YEAR.

I don't get why people would want first contact war for a movie.. imo it was boring....



- Humans activates relay 314

- Turians destroys human frieghters/frigates

- Humans retaliate destroying Turian scout ships.

- Shanxi surrenders to the invading Turians

- Turians doesn't reinforce occupying forces resulting a loss against a larger human fleet liberating Shanxi

- Council intervenes ending the war prematurely.



I think Rachni Wars or the Krogan Rebellions would have better entertaining content but then again... humans weren't there yet...



Maybe it would be post-ME3. Not that I'm excited about the idea of making a ME movie.

Speaking of ME3, what do you think's going to happen in ME 3? Everyone can jump into this question. I'd like to hear somebody's point of view on this.
