Why is everybody convinced that the movie will suck and you can't adapt a choice-based game into an inflexible medium? They did it with the novels, and I didn't see anyone complaining about those. Chances are, the movie wont follow the plot of the games. My only concern is that Drew Karpyshyn isn't involved with the writing - he's amazing.

While a movie about the first contact war would be cool, I think it would be a shame if the only characters in the film were human or turian. I'd much rather see krogans, hanar, drell, asari, quarians, salarians - the whole lot. Also, I want to see the Citadel, in all it's glory, on the big screen

Also please, use the default male Shepard. Don't use a female just for the sake of being different. I've played with a whole range of Shepards, but I can accept that the "classic" Shep is the iconic one that should represent the series.

agreed, especially about the default male shep

[digijedi]

how about Sam witwer for kaiden, maybe even a possible shep?

Realized today that Eliza Dushku looks a lot like Ashley.

She'd probably be best.

Logically, if Bioware want to attract more people to play ME series, it is possible the movie will set foot at Shepard's young age (like first contact war, Elysium....). When the movie successfully grab viewers attention, here comes the special priced promotion of ME series game.

I have a bad feeling about this. If they set a young Shepard, there is a certaint threat of using one of the actors, who... well, you know sparkle instead of being a men. I can't take it.

If Joker is in the movie, he has to be played by Seth Green. Although I hope Bioware does'nt make this movie about Commander Shepard or a whole lot of people will get angry.

I am really uneasy about a live-action movie starring a default commander Shepard. Trying to condense the story of 2 30hour+ games into a 2 hour movie with a decent budget is going to result in the ME storyline being dumbed down into a lowest-common denominator 'pew-pew-pew' ME universe in which Shepard is male, ruggedly handsome, soldier class (no biotics, mens get BIG HOLLYWOOD GUNS) & renegade (there'll be no paragon diplomatics in an action movie). I also predict at least one cheesy sex scene, probably non-alien, with the 'Miranda' of the movie, one alien nightclub scene, all salarians will be hyperactive comic relief characters, and one scene where Shepard has to make a 'tough' decision, possibly involving the fate of a crewmember as a misguided nod to the choices available in the game. It will also be cut to PG-13 - forget the mature ratings for the games.
I'm not saying this is necessarily the movie BW want to make (maybe it is though), but this is what will get made in order to appeal to that magical 15-35yo male demographic the games/movie industry love so much.
It will probably be awful like every other videogame movie, and will pointlessly set a 'canon' default Shepard and story. IMO, this will only serve to isolate fans who like 'their' Shepard (or use a female Shep) and story and don't need to see it 'officially' contradicted, and I don't see people viewing a movie like I just described rushing out to buy ME for it's great storyline and dialogue - and those who buy it hoping for a balls-out alien explosionfest ala GOW will be sorely disappointed and tell all their little friends the game sucks.
I think that got a bit tl;dr, hard to tell on my tiny screen :S

Remember, the rights to mass effect were optioned, not mass effect 2.  Seems to me that even if they had the rights to the second game, they would still split it into 2 movies, until mass effect 3 (the game) was released.  Logically they make a trilogy, just like the game franchise, based on the game franchise.  If it was done like this, then they wouldn't have to condense two or three games into a single movie.  Obviously they would have to condense it a little, but it doesn't mean they have to dumb it down.  Look at some of the recent trilogies...

True, but you can say the samething about people who want to see Shepard, Tali, Garrus, Joker, Wrex, etc. on the big screen.  Plus, if Shepard is put on the big screen, and it's done well then those people who don't want it to happen (they will most likely see it anyway) will be happy.

[Dazaster Dellus]

Everyone is still complaining about th ME movie being bad if it follows the games because their own Shepard will somehow be invalidated. Guess what? Your Shepard isn't real anyways. It's a game. Deal with it! There are plenty of other games, comics, etc.. out there that have characters and storylines that completely differ from the stories and characters you know and play as. And a lot of them have turne out pretty decent to bad ass (Batman Begins/Dark Knight, X-Men, Silent Hill, Iron Man, Spider Man,...I could go on). So to automatically write it off just because it might follow Shepards story is stupid. A lot of people in here already seem to have that biased mentality torwards it. It could turn out to be one of the greatest movies of all time and I can guarantee more than a few of you will still hate it because "Your Shepard is better" or something like that. SMH!



The only thing that matters is they get a good cast, a big financial backing, great director, producer, writer, etc. Hell, or just have the creators of the game write the script themselves. Just keep it away from Uwe Boll and Paul WS Anderson. That would already guarantee it will be at the least..decent. I still say Bioware should do a CG film. With all the voice actors from the game of course.

[Dazaster Dellus]

Oh and to be precise. I really think it will follow Shepard. The reasons are clear. They already have a story. They already have plenty of characters and plot points. Yeah, we have already played through the game, know the story and created our own paths. But there is an entire world full of people who haven't played the game and who don't know the story of the Reapers. In this day and age where everybody (and I mean everybody) is trying to make a profit in this horrible economy, WHY would they turn down putting a great story on the big screen just to appease a few fans of the game who don't want to see their own Shepard nullified in their own mind? The answer is... they wouldn't. Then again, anything is possible.

[masterkajo]

I really hope if they decided to make the movie that it is like the books - a different story within the Mass Effect universe. They of course should mention the crap out of Shepard without chosing any canon backstory, so everyone who had seen the movie could still enjoy the games and decid himself.

"And a lot of them have turne out pretty decent to bad ass (Batman Begins/Dark Knight, X-Men, Silent Hill, Iron Man, Spider Man,...I could go on)"



Bruce Wayne turned into a severe chain smoker, all the X-Men and even the less well known ones got pretty screwed over. Especially Deadpool. X-men was also cut down to the equivalent of a schoolyard fight compared to the comic's epic war resembling the scale of the Iliad.

Silent Hill was just horrible. Iron Man, while good, the character just became an egotistical ****. The original Tony had much more to him than the reimagining (if you don't know what I mean, read the old comics). And lastly, Spiderman, while the first was good, the second was almost as good, the third featured an emo **** who for some reason exhibited a modicum of chutzpah, far more than the average emo but still far less than even a little girl.

A trilogy could work but I'm not very hopeful. Videogame movies, unlike comic-book or novel adaptations historically do not make the big bucks at the box office, I'm not sure it would be considered worth the risk - if the first movie flopped, there'd be a 'heavy risk' the others wouldn't get made. I'm not particularly prissy about not seeing 'my' Shepard on screen, but I don't think it needs to be done - I really like the universe they've created and there is definite movie potential, but I'm not interested in seeing the game remade.
I admit I'm a little sticky about the idea of remaking stories from one visual medium into another (and with Girl with the Dragon Tattoo & Let the right one in getting pointless Hollywood remakes now, the whole subject gets my back up at the mo) so perhaps I'm being overly pessimistic. I still can't help thinking most of my above predictions will ring true though

i hope to see returning faces like yvonne strahovski, martin sheen, and the rest of the cast as characters in the movie

lol i agree i dont need him to remind how much TFU sucked

[MillaShepard]

I'm crossing my fingers that the movie focuses on the First Contact War, and not the ME1 story line. A story like this one would be extremely hard to **** up because it speaks for itself, however, being that everyone's shep is different, and everyone's story is different, no matter which direction is taken with the production (assuming it is based on ME1) it stands to be something of a disappointment. It is kinda fun to think about who they would cast though. Here's my opinion on that matter.



Female Shepard - Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element)

Male Shepard - Andy Whitfield (Spartacus Blood and Sand)

Liara T'Soni - Jessica Alba (Sin City)

Ashley Williams - Mila Kunis (Forgetting Sarah Marshall)

Kaiden Alenko - Shia LaBeouf (Transformers)

Tali ' Zorah - Famke Janssen (X-Men)

Garrus Vakarian - Liam Neeson (Taken)

Wrex - Stephen Barr (Original voice actor for Wrex)

Joker - Seth Green (Original voice of Joker)

Captain Anderson - Keith David (Original voice of Captain Anderson)

Ambassador Udina - Peter Mensah (Spartacus Blood and Sand)

Dr. Chakwas - Helen Mirren

Saron - Gary Oldman (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/ The Fifth Element)

Matriarch Benezia - Sigourney Weaver (Aliens)

Admiral Hacket - Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine)

Asari Consort Sha'ira - Viva Bianca (Spartacus Blood and Sand)

Dr. Chloe Michel - Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight)

Fist - Manu Bennett (Spartacus Blood and Sand)



as for ME2 characters



Miranda Lawson - Yvonne Strahovski (Original Model and voice of Miranda)

Jack - Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta)

Grunt - Steve Blum (Original voice actor for Grunt)

Jacob Taylor - Tristan Wilds (90210)

Mordin Solis - Noah Taylor (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

Thane Krios - David Tennant (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

Samara - Sanaa Lathan (Love and Basketball)

EDI - Tricia Helfer (Original voice actor for EDI)

Morinth - Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds)

Illusive Man - Martin Sheen (Original voice of Illusive Man)

Aria T'Loak - Carrie Anne Moss (Original voice of Aria T'Loak)



Well that was fun.

I'm scared, if Joker is seth green and no other well known people are in it, will Joker be the Han Solo of ME? D:

[salarianSniper]

hey guys, my girlfriend and i have been brainstorming and we have a pretty good idea for the movie. we feel pretty strongly that a movie about capt. Anderson would be the best route to take for a full fledged film adaptation. the reason why we think this is, is because no true mass effect fan will be happy with a movie about a Shepard that isnt their own. The game has so many variables and options within the story line that to pick just one CANON story, fans will feel detatched from the movie IMO. But with a story about Anderson, we get more info about a fan favorite and his story is very concrete. The movie can be about his younger years in the alliance all the way to his big confrontation with saren. one awesome scene, maybe at the end of the movie could be Anderson meeting shepard for the first time. this shepard could be in his/hers N7 armor. that way we wont be able to tell if its a man or woman (depending on the way the scene is shot. like if the camera is from the back or something.) well thanks for your time, let us know what ya'll think!! : )

[Menagra]

i really feel that Bioware made the ME games to be the player's story, and they did this my making most of the choices you make effect the storyline. If they made a movie "retelling" the games this would force them to make a default story with a generic (most likely white male) Shephard. i for one already know what happens to each of my 4 Shephards so far in the storyline, each with a very unique story. If they make it a generic "retelling" i for one will definitely NOT see it. I feel like this option will alienate a large amount of the established ME fans while giving a very shallow version of the story to everyone else.

i definitely agree with the idea that some people have had as to choosing some other story from the ME universe; things like the First Contact War, Saren and Anderson working together (from ME1 and Retribution), or the stories of Gillian Grayson and her father Paul (Ascension and Retribution). i mean most people like the movies Rain Man and I Am Sam, so having an Autistic protagonist would be someone that the audience could sympathize with. Hollywood also seems to be very interested in raising money for autism research and the like so i think that this would be a well supported story in the industry. Telling the story of the FCW would be a good alien first encounter story that would end very differently from the normal "we sent them packing and celebrated our ingenuity" (ex. Independence Day) or "we got lucky and survived" (ex. War of the Worlds) or "everything was peaceful and we were able to learn so much from each other" (ex. Star Trek: First Contact). It would also have a lot of action, plot, special effects while telling a vital story to the ME Universe. It would also create new interest in the ME games.
