I don't agree. If you do it right, you can also play a paragade in the games who is very much a coherent character with a set personality. You just have to be mindful of the situation, think about your motives and what would be an appropriate reaction. You also have to consider the white or neutral options from time to time, not only the persuasion options. For a movie, it's even simpler because you can craft the whole dialogue without having to anticipate several permutations.

I totally agree.  No one is total renegade or paragon.  My last play through of the game, I was just about equal paragon and renegade points.  I'm paragon to my team unless they need discipline and renegade to my enemies.  That is real life.  We're not all smiles and friendly.  Sometimes we're bad ass.  Shepard works that way.  I'd love the movie to be based on ME1.  I think it would be a hit.  That's a great storyline.

I don't want to get caught up on the idea of 'canon'. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Maybe it would have been better to say 'accepted version for the purpose of the film'.

I just think that when you say Mass Effect to the majority of people who aren't immersed in the whole universe (and isn't a total fanboy/fangirl) then you'd get a lot of chatter about Shepherd and his story. And that is where the story of the film will go.

The problem* we have is that Mass Effect has been made in such a way that every player effectively has their own personalised movie - and that's an amazing thing. The difficulty now comes when the film studio tries to make a movie that impresses newcomers and also honours the faithful followers of the games already.

If the movie does centre around Shepherd then I'd like there to be a way it doesn't affect our own established character - but I don't see that happening. I'm convinced we will see a film about Shepherd.

I think back to the new Star Trek film, which explained the 'new' story as an alternate reality kind of thing. If Mass Effect could get away with its own believable, satisfying version of that then I think we'd be smiling



*Not really a problem but hopefully you see what I mean

I think that if Ashley were to be in the movie, she should be played by the beautiful and badass Michelle Rodriguez

I used to be optimistic about this movie. But then I had a most distressing epiphany:

It's been picked up by the same studio responsible for "Clash Of The Titans".

... it's doomed. DOOOOOOMED, I TELL YOU!

It's also the studio responsible for "The Dark Knight" and "Inception", 2 of the best movies to be made in recent years.

I hope they do what POP (the only video game movie that was just bad, rather than God-awful) did, and tell a different story using elements from the game. Games just don't translate well to movies.

eh? No, LotR was Wingnut Films (Peter Jackson's company) and distributed by New Line.

In other words, legendary pictures being involved means jack diddly.  Those 2 movies had Christopher Nolan.  What does this one have so far?  Avi Arad :(((

If only the Halo movie could be developed.

But anyway this is fantastic news! :D

The reason the Halo movie isn't being developed is because Bungie has integrity. They refused to allow for Executive Meddling and altering of their vision for the movie (they wanted a movie that was faithful to the story and concept of the games), and so the Hollywood execs cut them off.

Yup. So is the case on many an occasion. Hollywood sees a game that did well and thinks they can make money off it, and don't bother to try and make a movie faithful to the game as much as just making offhanded referances to parts of the game. Case in point: Pretty much every single movie based on a video-game except for Prince of Persia. What made Prince of Persia a 'meh' movie instead of horribly godawful is that it at the very least kept to the gist of the game. Which is more than you can say of other such movies. The Resident Evil ones were horrendous.

Thomas Bergersen who did this for star trek should compose the mass effect film. imo i think this track is a perfect example



Don't forget his collaborator, Nick Phoenix.  They're excellent.  And they composed the music for the Mass Effect 2 launch trailer.

But I do feel that Jack Wall's work on the games (along with his collaborators, Sam Hulick,  Richard Jacques and David Kates) already has that Remote Control Studios sound.  Rather than hiring one of their people, they should just get Jack Wall to compose the score for the movie and simply get someone from Remote Control Studios (like Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, or John Powell) to produce the score.

perhaps they'll do what the Halo movie is rumored to be: using the cannon to create or tell other stories in the Mass Effect Universe.

Except that, as already briefly discussed above, studio execs didn't like that with Halo because Bungie insisted on sticking with the canon and staying faithful to the Halo Universe, so the execs pulled the plug. So unless the studio execs over at Legendary are willing to not 'Hollywoodify' or make up their own nonsense, and stick to the canon material, then you can kiss any chance of that goodbye.

What everyone should brace themselves for is a movie that isn't remotely like Mass Effect outside of names, some races, and a very basic handling of the story. That way you'll avoid the crushing disappointment.

As long as they don't screw the story with awful acting, stupid one liners, and badass wannabe actors, I'll be glad, but the movie will never be as good as the game.
