LOL it would be even funnier if it wasn't relevant...

[hamtyl07]

[LavaDog]

My life is complete.

[hamtyl07]

judgeing by the lack of respnse to my question i assume that this project is still in the speculation area since imdb has no news but if any has any answer they would be more than welcome

[ALMIGHTY666]

i dont know if this has been already said... but maybe the movie could be about the earlier Mass Relays use (discovery and so on), or maybe about anderson and saren past... or a whole new story with Garrus, Tali and some other squad members (yes, im a fan for those two...) and some sort of fill up of what happened bettwen Mass Effect 1 and 2 (Sovereing recovery, citadel, or even the battle of the citadel it self).... just me saying... ...

EDIT: Or even the prothean history.... ...

For your suggestions revolving around alien characters, how many main stream movies have succeeded with a non-human main character?

For the Saren/Anderson story (Revelation), the big climax of the story is a set up for the first game.  Nothing really happens.  

For your suggestion about Pre-Contact Mass Relay use, you're completely cutting out HUGE pieces of what makes Mass Effect.  No Biotics during that time period, no aliens, no major wars or conflicts.  The exploration period was pretty peaceful and boring according the codex and books.  

They've all been suggested.  But BioWare wrote themselves into a corner during the main time period.  The only cinema worthy story is Shepard's story and the coming of the Reapers.

I know this will be buried and forgotten, but given that this forum seems to be trapped in a loop of speculation over who will be in the movie and when it will take place, I wanted to put something fresh up: I thought of an idea for an opening scene for the movie. For this, I assumed that the movie will follow the ME1 storyline. Picture this:
 
The Legendary Pictures and BioWare logos roll before the screen fades to black. We then open onto a gorgeous panorama of thick, misty forests and green valleys with the Carpathian Mountains in the distance. The title card reads EASTERN EUROPE, 50,000 B.C.E. We see a hunting party of Cro-Magnon humans hiking through the old-growth forest, stalking deer. The camera focuses on one, who reaches behind him to rub a bulging nodule at the back of his neck. Clearly something is embedded beneath his skin. The hunting party comes to a vista, whereupon they hear a great whine. They look up, frightened, as a great silvery vessel descends over the valley towards them. They shake their spears angrily at what we would identify as a Prothean research ship. Unconcerned, the ship draws up to them, turning so that its broadside faces them. A hatch opens, and one Prothean field researcher emerges. He fires his biotics at the hunters, using a not-before-seen form of Stasis to freeze the entire hunting party in place. He and two colleagues then hop down from the ship, retrieve the hunter with the tracking device in his neck, and load him onto the ship, which takes off. We are treated to spectacular shots of the ship leaving Earth behind, passing by one of the remote observation platforms the Protheans set up in orbit, and arriving at the research station on Mars where it gracefully comes to rest in the base's great hangar. There, as the hapless hunter is wheeled to the research labs, we see the research station: the massive hangar with its ships, the base’s great mass effect generator, and numerous Prothean scientists and staff bustling around. In the main lab where the gurney carrying the hunter is brought to rest, the field researcher who led the retrieval party and the head scientist speak about the potential humans show. Off-hand references are made to the other races we will see later: computer monitors showing diagrams comparing human physiology to that of turians, salarians, and asari, and the hanar are referenced in passing. Suddenly warning klaxons blare! Ominous music starts up as the head scientist interfaces with the base’s beacon, and comes away from the information-transfer into his mind visibly disturbed. The field researcher asks what’s going on, and the head scientist states breathlessly that the Citadel has fallen to an unknown alien force. What’s more, this message is several months old – it wasn’t sent out until it was too late, and only now it has reached the remote Sol system. He gives the order for the staff to evacuate the base. Cut to the Charon Relay, which suddenly shoots forth a small fleet of Reapers.  The camera pans around them, showcasing their awesome size and frightening forms.  The camera comes to rest behind the Reapers, which we see moving past Pluto and working quickly towards the inner solar system, represented by the Sun which at this distance appears very small. 

At the base on Mars, the staff tries to place all of their data onto portable storage mediums, wipe their computers, and shut down the mass effect generator. The head scientist orders them to cease: the humans show promise, he says. If they survive this affair and find the base and its data in the future, they can meet their full potential. We see several ships leaving Mars, carrying the researchers, which are callously shot down by a Reaper. We then cut to Earth orbit, where we see several Protheans in spacewalking gear flee in terror across one of the orbital platforms.  The camera pans up to show just how monstrously large a Reaper is compared to this platform.  The Reaper lays waste to the platform with one of its leg-mounted cannons.  Cut to Earth's surface, where the music reaches a fever-pitch as we see Reapers cutting across the sky regions all across the globe: the forests of Europe, the steppes of Mongolia, the jungles of Central America, and the savannahs of Africa. Everywhere they go, we see tribes of humans and herds of wild and domesticated animals fleeing in terror. Two Reapers consult over Mt. Kilimanjaro. One suggests they wipe out this primitive race now. The other advises against it: in time, it says. They show promise. The last image we see is the still-active mass effect generator in the darkened, abandoned research facility.  The screen fades to black.    
 
When the image returns, we still see the generator, glowing but clearly functioning erratically. We hear the radio chatter of human explorers, commenting on how this region of Mars has been having a Bermuda Triangle effect, and that they’re coming up on the signal now. We then hear one say “Oh my God. Sir, you’re not going to believe this. Oh my God!” We hear the great metallic door of the hangar retract, and sunlight illuminates the generator. The camera pulls back to show awed human explorers entering the facility. Jennifer Hale’s voice comes in, narrating over this scene as it fades to black the immortal opening of ME1:
 
“In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it…”
 
MASS EFFECT. The words appear on the screen, big and bold, with the music coming to a crescendo.

I know the above is pretty choppy, and will raise alarms among the more detail-minded of us (i.e., "How did the Reapers get from the relay to Mars/Earth so fast?"), but as I was crafting this, I was thinking of what would be most BANG-awesome for a movie opening.  As for Jennifer Hale doing the opening narration, I just thought that'd be cool.

So if anyone sees this/braves my wall of text, what do you think?  I already have other ideas for how the movie could potentially go based off this opening.  Maybe I can post them later.

Has anyone seen TRON: Legacy? Throughout the movie I kept thinking, "Wow, this could so be a Mass Effect movie". All the suits, architecture of interiors of buildings and special effects, you could easily make a ME movie

[Half-life]

Sounds promising, but if history has taught us anything its that Video game based movies ......(I'm gonna be blatant)..... "SUCK" ....

video game based movies in the past have sucked because of the one or all of the following reasons:

1.  they were made by Uwe boll or other ****** who knows nothing about the game, trying to cash in on the francise

2.  they had a ******-pore, thrown-together story to begin with and no real movie potential to begin with

3  they had nowhere near the budget needed to make a good live action remake

4.  they weren't made by Legendary Studios a company with some very good movies under there belt (i.e. Dark Knight, The Watchmen).

5.  they never had the makers of the game working with them.

this might not be awarded "the best movie ever made", but it will sure as hell be better than the previous video game based movies

Ji-In Cho or (because of her experience in such films) Jewel Staite would do as femshep. But I ask you not to do this movie. No good will come of it. Spend the money to make another ME instead.

I loved Jewel Staite in Firefly and Serenity (she's dead sexy and cute as a button at the same time), but she's way wrong for a fem Shep.  Fem Shep, much like Male Shep, is much harder-edged and grittier than I believe Jewel Staite could ever be.  She's just too nice, right down to her face.  It doesn't have the sense of danger or experience that Fem Shep should have.



And everyone expecting this movie to stink, while you do have a slew of history of bad video game to movie translations, lets not cut off our noses to spite our faces.  The movie could end up being phenomenal, even if its pared down considerably in terms of story to fit the existing 60-100 hour long game (depending on your completion level and how many side missions you do) to a 2 hour movie. 

And seriously, just because your favorite mission, story detail, or character isn't included, that alone isn't a reason not to like this movie.  Watch it on its own merits instead of comparing and nitpicking over every little thing ME the game did that ME the movie might not do.

My point:  lets wait and see what happens and keep the whining, ****ing, and complaining to a minimum, especially since there's absolutely zero info on this movie at this point other than that there are plans to make it.  We know nothing about the plot, characters, look of the film/sets, CGI, acting, direction and how it'll all tie together into one good movie, or one stinking piece of crap.  While the latter is likely, the former is possible.

Well, the last 2 points are dealt with, so as long as points 1 to 3 are met, we should be in for a wild ride

I can't believe the amount of people talking about how this should be about Shepard. Shepard should have sweet nothing to do with this movie. Mass Effect 1-3 is Shepard's story and it is OUR story that we help choose how it is played out and ends.

The movie should stay well clear of that or it will stink. Appearances or brief cameos from NPCs we've met in the story, sure, no problem. But we have a whole frelling Galaxy that the writers of the movie can explore. Drew Karpashyn has already proven stories can be made without Shep involvement as am sure many a fan-fic writer has too. The possibilities are endless.

Yep, I thought the same thing after watching the movie today actually. I did enjoy the music they had on that movie as well and I belive the music was performed by Daft Punk.

I hope and pray that Bioware makes a CG Mass Effect movie. Just for kicks and giggles they can throw in random dialog wheels and choose Par or Ren choices like in the game but make it shepards inner dialog in his head! Like " I dont feel like dealing with this right now..", Then he kicks someone or whatever like kicking that guy thru the window! Maybe even have the other characters make a comment on Shepard pausing, thinking about and coming up with his choice. Just little things that the fans will get. Heck, just put it straight to BluRay and I'll buy it. Put some behind the scenes footage, and use the VA from the game and you got my vote.
