Mass Effect Movie announced!

Posté 07 juin 2010 - 04:07
Though I find it a stretch that Legendary Films would ever make a movie that isn't geared toward the male gaze (not that most film company's aren't stuck in 19th century social constructs) I hope that if they have a Shepard it's a female and maybe even consider a woman of color instead of the blue eyed brunette formula that most action films stick to? Though I really hope the movie doesn't have a Shepard...because that would only make everyone who spent 200 hours across the two games now feel like their Shepard story "doesn't count" because it wasn't THE movie Shepard story...I hope that it's either first contact war or what's in the books b/c I love the little girl in the books. (though that doctor woman is sort of a damsel in distress type-oh well).
PS I hope Mass Effect 3 has more females of other species-and I hope that Krogan woman are larger than males(such as it is for many reptiles and amphibians). A bad ass Krogan female 2X the size of a male would be a cool party member(essentially a giant Krogan).
As for actors/actresses I would like it in the film: Seth Green definitively should play joker and Anderson better be a character in the movie too.

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.
"So, I'm just going to run down a list of topics that are affected by the choices you made in the first and second game, and elaborate a bit both on what happened and what may happen.
I'm just throwing this out there since I've had a few of these ideas swimming around in my head recently and I want to see what other people think will happen.
This is assuming that Mass Effect 3 will take place no more than about a year after the events of 2. This seems somewhat likely considering that Harbringer has already left Dark Space.
Krogan/Rachni:
Based on your choices in Mass Effect 1 either the Krogan, the Rachni, or both will be reborn and recovering numbers. Wrex is steadily brining the clans together. Even with only a few thousand of them left, that is still very formidable force.
On the other hand, if you released the Rachni Queen her species will be repopulated. According to what I've read the Rachni replenish their populations very rapidly, so I wouldn't be surprised if they too have a sizeable army.
I think the Krogan and Rachni are going to go to war if both stength as a result of your choices. Wrex is perhaps the most sensible of all the Krogan, and even he admit that he would hunt down the Rachni should the reappear. A lot of the Krogan seemed extremely bound in their violent ways, and even if the Rachni queen does fulfill her promises for peace it seem likely that the Krogan would still fufill the purpose they were crafted for. If the Rachni surive and you kill Wrex however, I think the Krogan may still fight but be wiped out in the process.
Releasing Grunt may have an impact on this, as he is the perfect Krogan. Perhaps he will fight under clan Urdnot and turn the tide?
The Genophage may also be cured if Mordin survives and he kept the cure data from his side quest. If it was cured and Wrex is in charge, it could cause the Krogan to finally become a reputable race and a powerful ally. As a result the Rachni would probably be killed. If Wrex isn't in charge however, the Rebellions may start up again.
Quarian/Geth:
Based on your actions in the trial and with Legion the Quarians may go to war with the Geth, reunite with the Geth, or leave their homeworld. In Tali's trial you can recommended whether the Admiralty Board go to war or seek alternatives. As well, you can supply the data about the Geth you found to certain Admirals or encourage or discourage their opinions.
Obviously these decisions will feed into either going to war or not. If you re-wrote all the Geth back into unity, it very possible that the Quarians could be destroyed in a war. On the other hand, choosing to destroy the Heretics may give the Quanrians a fighting chance.
If you choose not to encourage war, Legion may play a vital role in Quarian/Geth relations if both he and Tali survive the Suicide run.
Assuming you didn't activate Legion, the Heretics will still be a threat and will most likely ally with the Reapers.
The Shadow Broker:
Liara is most likely going to die if she doesn't stop going after the Shadow Broker and Shepard doesn't help her. It's pretty simply. Liara will either end up dead, join Shepard, or become the new Shadow Broker. This could cause a huge shift in galctic politics if Liara decides to run her information services with idealism at the helm rather than capital gain.
ExoGeni:
If you saved the ExoGeni employees from the Thorian and it was allowed to prosper, it could either be a very good or bad thing depending upon the Illusive Man's intentions. The Collectors are creations of genetic modification, and if they teamed up with Cerebus and got their hands on the Collector Base there is no telling what could happen.
I need to check some of the facts on this one specifically.
The Council/Alliance:
If the Council survived and you saved the Collector Base, it is likely they will finally believe you and give you their full support in defeating the Reapers. If you didn’t they will most likely stay stubborn towards your claims until it is too late for them to do anything.
If the Alliance is ruling unopposed, they may join with Cerebus regardless of your choices to be fully prepared for the Reapers. I’m sure keeping the base would help in this matter however.
I played through a Council Lives game, so I may change this at a later date.
Cerebus:
I really don’t know what the Illusive Man’s next move is if you save or do not save the Collector Base. My best guess? If you save it he will attempt to build a Reaper he can control in an attempt to combat the actual Reapers. Cerebus is very extreme in their methods, it isn’t unrealistic to assume this may happen.
If you destroyed the base, Cerebus’s role will most likely remain the same as it was this game.
Shepard Saves the Galaxy:
Shepard will probably save the galaxy if he is fully prepared for the Reapers when they come and rallies an army together to fight them. The Geth will be an valuable ally to have against the Reapers, as will the Krogan or Rachni should either come back into power as you could have helped all three of the races. The rest of the races will most likely rally under the Council or Alliance, though probably more the Council, to fight for Shepard. A lot of the game will probably be preparing the races for War and perhaps preparing an elite team to take down Harbringer and any other Reaper flagships.
Or, the galaxy could be destroyed and put under Reaper control. This would suck, and I really hope that this would result in a game over rather than an ending. But hey, **** happens.
Ok so that was pretty obvious stuff, I really only separated it from a more Renegade ending because…
Shepard becomes a Reaper:
Come on, the signs are all their. Shepard is already a bio-synthetic construct. If that isn’t foreshadowing I don’t know what is.
The Collectors were building a Human reaper, but in the final fight it doesn’t behave like a Reaper at all. It doesn’t talk, and it doesn’t seem very intelligent. It keeps itself out in the open longer than it needs to, and let’s face it A TEAM OF THREE DUDES KILLED IT.
You could explain this away by saying “It is in a larval stage,” but I purpose a new theory.
We now know that the Indoctrinated servants the Reapers collected did not simply die out, but were most likely turned into new Reapers.
However while the Reapers have individual identities, the Human larva is just a mindless husk. What if, the final stage of a Reaper’s construction is integrating the consciousness of a living being with the husk.
When you finish Liara's Shadow Broker quest line, and she reveals that the Shadow Broker was planning on selling Shepard's body to the Collectors. Why would they need Shepard's body if he was already dead? All the targets the Collectors take are live. Why would they even bother stunning people if they could kill them?
Shepard is the first person to ever be brought back to life, at least that is what we should assume. The resources Cerebus used to bring Shepard back to life were astronomical in scope, and it is likely that anyone else with the funds to pursue such an effort would deem it unworthy due to the high risk of failure.
Sovereign offered a similar deal to the Geth, and if we assume that it was at the very least only a partial lie this only strengthens the theory.
Harbringer beats the concept into your skull the entire game. The weak are worthless, yet all of your crew is integrated into the Human Reaper husk. Harbringer constantly threatens you, but he never seems completely intent on obliterating Shepard. He said it himself, he has caught the attention of beings far greater than him.
“We are your salvation, through your destruction.”
Through the Reapers, your race will live on for eternity.
Through the Reapers, your greatest specimen will become immortal.
What could be a better Renegade finale?
Of course, it’s all just speculation."
This just occured to me, but what if ALL the species united together w/ the Council to destroy Harbinger and the other Reapers? It seems that would be a full paragon choice if you didn't choose between Tali and Legion, aided Mordin's cure for the genopahge, Mordin being alive, Wrex being alive, Grunt being alive, the Rachni being alive, the Council being alive, and the Council finally realizing that Shepard was telling the truth, giving a tremendous amount of aid to Shepard. I don't know if it will work if the Shepard you have played can choose between one side or the other and still be able to hopefully destroy the reapers. If you chose the Renegade path and killed Wrex, Grunt, Mordin, the Council, and choosing between the geth and quarians (and if you're still alive), that's going to get VERY ugly and the galaxy will probably be in a unanimous obliteration from the Reaper's killing cycle every 50,000 years. It would be even more interesting if and how these armies (Krogan, Quarians, Geth, Rachni, and the Council (Turians, Salarians, Asari, and possibly Drell)) will play out by the choices your Shepard makes.
Well, **** happens.

Yeah, this is what I'm hoping for.Lord Jaric wrote...
I feel that it is likely that the film will not be about Shepard due to how Shepard was different for everyone, They will probably make a story that falls in line with the Mass Effect story just a different protagonist.

Bring out a movie, some books, more games, another movie, even more games
I will buy them all
buuut moving on to just the movie, i would like to see shepard in the days before mass effect 1, making a movie within the timeline of the mass effect games would not make sense due to decisions made by people being different.
Or if not to do with shepard then one of the other characters lifes such as garrus or thane.
Or even nothing to do with the games, have shepard as a backgroud character such as being mentioned on GN news channel and the story following someone completely different.
So storyline should be..
1) Shepard - days before saren
2) Another ME game character i.e Garrus (how would u do the makeup though??)
3) Nothing to do with the games, just based in the same world around the same time

If doing makeup for one Turian was an insurmountable obstacle I am sure they would not me making a Mass Effect movie...

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.

I'm going to reserve my judgement on this one, but I am getting a bit worried about this licencing/merchandising tangent BioWare seems to be on lately. A Dragon Age anime? A Mass Effect movie? That's great, but what about the actual games guys? I'm not sure if it's EA's influence or not but I worry BioWare is turning into a company more interested in making money from franchising than making great games.

Samara's loyalty mission was a happy ending?? Killing Samara or Samara killing her own daughter isnt exactly happy. Sure you can say Morinth needed to be put down, but I would hardly call a mother having to execute her daughter a happy ending. If Jacob's father is atleast arrested there I guess is a chance for them to speak again.

it is so F optimistic of me to hope for a good movie.
but with this univers and story line, they can lay down Star Wars, Avatar and Star Treck!
this stuff is so more superior!
and for "my lord" sake, dont pick a story with shepard in, take a sidestory!
but if you will take the main story, make suer not to make the movie before you have a budget that can be compared with Avatar´s!
you can make the gretest movie ever main in the name of Sci Fi
so plz, dont F screw this up, you gon 300, Watchmen and The Dark Knight in you back!
