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.

It's a movie based on a video game. Expect all those things.

since bioware will have their hands all over this i doubt it will be an F'up and i do have good faith in legendary and the screenwrite they hired

[N0touchi]

So since Mass Effect is going to be made into a movie; can we expect it to be considered "canon"?

[Gleym]

I hope not. Ever since the Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment novels, I've cringed at the idea of a novel/movie adaptation of a video game being considered canon.

Depends on if it fits with your canon (i.e. your playthrough)... like the novels do.  If it doesn't then it'll be considered alternate reality / reimagined / whatever.

as long its CGI made im good whit eny thing allthough the story has to be pure awesome 

[Raoune]

Man, I'd love to be excited about this. However...



I just don't see how it's going to be interesting if it's a male Shepard at the front of it. Don't get me wrong, I've played as both and both are fun, but I think the movie only really has something to say if it's about a female in a man's world.



The awesome thing about FemShep is that she's a commander that happens to be a woman, not a "female commander". She's not sexualised, but she is sexy. She proves, like Ripley and Zoe Washburne before her, that gender does not make you less suitable for being a big god damn hero.



There's not really that undertone with Male Shep. He's just another big strong man made good. Especially if they paragon him up.

[tykfa1990]

Female action heroines rock, but ( don't get me wrong ) I would rather like to see Shepard being a male. The game did gave us the ability to chose Shepard's gender, but most ( if not all ) merchandise revealing the Mass Effect series has a male Shepard in it. It would feel to me like a ( for example ) movie adaptation of Tolkien's "Hobbit" featuring Bilbo as a female. >.<

It would just bring chaos. I rather think that there will be something said about "Shepard". The person itself, not mentioning his/her gender. OFC if the movie isn't actually a adaptation of the games very story.

[JudgeXac]

I created my own Shepard for the games and personally, I cannot put a voice to any other face but his. I've tried playing through the game as the default Shepard but for me, it doesn't work at all. It just felt WRONG.



In relation to choosing an actor, I think they should pick someone young and badass, either male or female. They should be charismatic though, since that's what Shepard is all about.

[COGlory]

I'd prefer someone who looks exactly like my Shepard...

[But the Prize]

my thoughts on this:
IF the movie is going to be good, while being based on the origional story, here are some things that I think are going to need to be done.

Budget: HUGE, we need a ton of CGI, cotsumes are great but we'll probably need it for Krogans, the reapers, geth (I don't think anybodys head could fit into those flashlights). thats not even counting biotic and other effects

Story: the writing needs to be as good as, if not better than the game's, writing will need to be a centerpiece of this, it always has been for Bioware when it makes its games, why should a movie be any different?

Casting: with cgi and other things, they'll be able to keep many of the voices from the games if they choose (Tali, Legion, other things that arent human. ELCOR SPECTRE FTW)

Cutting: Mass effect is a long game, fitting all important events in will be impossible: so stuff must be cut, I say you cut either Noveria or Feros out, probably feros, and make Noveria alot faster moving. You could easily learn some of the things you learn on feros on other planets at the same pace. In mass effect 1 movie, cutting characters may not be as big of a deal.

Morality choices: if the movie is based on Shepard (which i think it will) it needs to have shepard following a heroic path (paragon), but, he needs to still be a badass (renegade), so what I think is that in many situations that make him a badass and not an evil basterd (killing that one asari on feros, for instance) he should do it. But when the chips are down and its fairly clear b/w good/evil, he should choose paragon

final thoughts on mass effect 1: It has alot of potential, and if the directors and others can get it right, they can have a powerful franchise going. 

Mass effect 2:
(Assuming mass effect 1 is a success in the box office.)

Mass effect 2 was much more character driven than the other one, its entire story was about getting ccharacters, by the end, you have about 10-12 characters (12 if you have zaeed and Kasumi). and then of course you have loyalty missions. for this one, the director and others are going to have to be more creative with who and what they cut.

Characters cut and left in: In my opinion, the dlc characters are out, no offense, but they aren't really important. That leaves us with ten characters, still alot, and way to much to get a good backstory and development going. SO sadly, some will likely get cut. my choices to be cut would be Samara, Grunt, Thane (sorry), and maybe even Jacob (but the prize...). this leaves us with six supporting characters, making it alot easier to flesh them out in movie-form. Also, we will be able to include more loyalty missions (probably not all of them.)

other thoughts: now maybe, you could keep more of the characters and loyalty missions if you divided the movie into two parts, just a thought. THERE MUST BE TURIAN FINGER-QUOTES.

Thougths on both of the movies:
Love-interest: this one may be very difficult to decide, should there not be one in ME1 and wait until ME2, or the other way around, with Shepard remaining faithful. Its would be difficult to decide, also, transpeicies is also a difficulty (Im pretty sure that Tali romance is more popular than miranda, but Im not sure,) the directors may decide to keep it human x human for the viewers sake, or they may go where ever they want. but I'm pretty sure they'd go human x human when it goes to love interest.

choices:
just a list of important choices that should happen throughout the stories (pretty much in order)
ME1
. Shepard saves the Rachni
. doesn't kill Wrex
. sacrifices Ashey (this may change if they want shepard with a racist)
. Causes Saren to kill himself in final battle
. saves council

ME2
. allows veetor to go with quarians
. lets miranda talk to sister
. keeps genophage data
. keeps garrus from killing sidonis
. keeps jack from killing that one guy
. Tells the quarian fleet not to go to war at trial
. reactivates legion
. rewrites geth
. destroys collector base

hopefully i didn't miss to many big choices that could affect later

I hoped you liked this, specualticve post.

Wrex. Shepard.

I like it to, but one problem i can see with the events. In the stand alone of ME 2, if you didn't import a shepard, it starts off as Shepard letting the council to die. That's really the only problem i can see.

Not any more than someone's personal "canon" Shepard playthrough being considered as such. A movie Shepard would be the creators' Shepard, nothing more and nothing less.

Ist it even confirmed that it will be a Shepard- Story?

letting the council to die. That's really the only problem i can see.

you could say that is 'canon' but as I said, letting the 'sybol of unity and democracy' in the galzxy just get slaughtered by geth and Sovereign, it just wouldn't work with audiences. Shepard is a protagonist of a Sci-fi epic, sure in the game he can be whoever you want, but seeing the the hero shepard killing the council would just not be a happy and good conclusion. 

Another thought of mine for the movie since my earlier post was kinda popular: In ME2, I think Legion should be introduced earlier.

I can't wait! I really hope they give the writers and producers of ME1 some voice in this. If they do this could be a great theatre hit. We all know what happens to conversions of games to the big screen if the wrong people make it.

Legendary Studios didn't pay for the rights to the Mass Effect intellectual property to ignore the only major part of the universe that established.

If they were going to create something completely new and place it in the ME universe, why even bother paying for the IP?  Why not just make this new Sci-Fi story and not tie it to the ME universe?  It would save money.

No, if they paid for ME, they're going to make the movies follow the games.  

[aznsoisauce]

I just watched Jonah Hex - Yes, I knew it was going to be awful beforehand - and I was surprised to find out it was from Legendary Pictures. I sincerely hope the ME movie doesn't suffer the same fate.

[CrimsonSpinach]

I hope it isn't going to be a Shepard-Story. It just leaves so much room for Avi and his goons at Legendary to screw up.



An effort to retell the First Contact War would be ace. Or failing that, the Rachni Wars (because sci-fi doesn't have enough bug-killing movies), possibly even Krogan Rebellion.

[wickedwizzard01]

First off i don't really want a ME movie

Why not?

there is a 99% chance they will totally screw up ME like they have done with so many game related movies before



Yes there are a few good movies out there that are based on a game

and if they really have to do anME movie then

then have it be about the Rachni wars or Krogan Rebelion or the first contact war

and not based on Shepard

i really prefer it to be a story that we haven't seen in the game

so they can't screw up any of our beloved characters

just let Hollywood screw up up there own characters but not the ingame ones if they screwup anything



i hope it will be a fun movie but looking at the track record i highly doubt it

[thylja]

I agree with wickedwizzar01, a story centered around finding the first mass relais and the first contact war would be amazing! There's so much background to be told, it'd be a waste to merely re-tell what players already experienced playing the games.

Who knows...
