There are just way too many things involved in ME for this movie to in ANYWAY match up to the game. The game is about choices, the players choices. The movie will end up being a shallow action movie with nothing going for it other than the name. That is all.

mass effect movie sounds awesome if the game creators are involved. hopefully keeping the story as good as the games. imo it shouldn't follow shepard, too many variables. however starting with the discovery of mass relays and leading into the 1st contact war would be a good place to start both for existing fans and movie goers new to the franchise.

I agree, I'm really hoping they start from the very beginning, starting
with the finding of the Prothean technology on Mars, then finding and
explaining the Mass Relays, then the start of activating dormant relays,
settling of the first planet, and the First Contact War, the start of
the Systems Alliance, then humans go to the Citadel... then maybe in the
same movie, or wait until the beginning of the next movie have the
Skyllian Blitz, and then introduce Shepard in the thresher maws attack
on Akuze.



Unless you start from the very beginning, the movie audience will
not understand the back-story of how humanity got to where it is.

It might be about another person during the events of Mass Effect 1. Like the Novels.

I just had an idea, how about making an interactive 3D movie for Mass Effect? At the theater, instead of just handing out 3D glasses, also hand out simple RF remotes. For major decisions such as whether the protagonist should kill a character, the audience gets to decide who dies, who doesn't, etc, just like in the game, and using their individual RF remotes, vote for their choice. The response/solution which gets the most votes then plays on screen, and may carry through the whole movie (if major) or could be just like a renegade interrupt

How do you think this would work out? Would it be too difficult to make? Because if major decisions carry over, then you're dealing with much more content = high production costs.

I don't know about production costs or anything like that, but there was something like that that they experimented with back in the 90s, I think.  It didn't seem to catch on very well.  It would be cool to see, though.  Then, for a DVD release, they could just make it like Scourge of Worlds.

Sorry.  Double post.

Maybe now, with more user friendly tech than the 90s, an actually good movie premise and that 3D trend, it could work.

I am very pleased this morning to announce that there will be a Mass Effect movie made by the fine folks at Legenday Pictures! I know there has been a lot of speculation amongst our fans ever since Mass Effect 1 came out as to whether or not there would be a movie, who should star in it, who would direct, would there be a Wrex sized bucket of popcorn, etc and I can now reveal that, yes, there will be a movie (popcorn deal is still unconfirmed.

Legendary Pictures, the studio behind great films such as The Dark Knight, Watchmen, The Hangover and 300 have picked up the rights to make Mass Effect. Legendary Pictures will produce with Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni along with Avi Arad (who has been behind great films like Iron Man, X-Men and Spider-Man). From BioWare Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuck and Casey Hudson will serve as executive producers.

"At BioWare, we’ve always thought of Mass Effect as having the depth, emotion and plot twists perfectly suited for an adaptation to a motion picture,” said Casey Hudson, executive producer of the Mass Effect series. “With Avi Arad and Legendary attached, we believe that the Mass Effect movie will be an extraordinary entertainment event that realizes our vision for the franchise and thrills fans.”

I am super psyched for this and look forward to seeing the Mass Effect movie take shape.

Is it too early to buy tickets?

LOL

Justin Bieber will play Shep so they don't have to choose if its a guy or girl

[MsMechanix]

It would be great depending on release if they would give us some more incite on the story as we get closer to the Mass Effect 3 release at the end of this year!!

i second that! 3D sucks anyway. it can't be done well enough. its used as a way to peddle crap films. personally it gives me a headache after an hour, and thats the real d cinema experience let alone the dvd release. unless they make a holographic 3d experience not likely anytime soon they should keep films like mass effect in hd 2d.

[fresh101]

I think that best way movie should be made is to make trilogy that focus on Shepard and the game, but with strong acting crew, like John Cusack as Shepard, and perhpse Sigourney Weaver as Benezia, and some other strong actors as well, and with very well developed scenario, that would strongly point Shepard personality and decisions witch he had to made. That should be left for bioware team to decade, weather Shepard will be ruthless killer or compassionate commander who cares for his people. After all they made the game. :-) And also movie should come out after fans played ME3, so it would not ruin anything. If anything else you would after watching the move wanted to play one more time as it is in the movie. :-) (As long a Seth Green plays Joker, I'm 100% on board with this.) Agreed. :-) Sorry for my English, I haven't used it for a while.

[ReallyRue]

Will this film be like a prologue to the games? Or something similarly unrelated to the main plot of the games?

That would be better than something about Shepard really. Obviously, whatever Shepard they had un a film would be completely different to the individual that most people know as Shepard.

Finally i will be able too see Blasto The Jellyfish Stings!! I'm dying too see the hanar specter take on the infamous spongebob and his legendary jellyfish net!!!

[killershotz]

They shouldn't mess with the games. That's for you, as the player, to decide what goes on in that game series. What they should do is start the movie when Jon Grissom and those others first go through the mass relay. Then it goes onto showing and explaining the first contact war and such.

[SgtPatches]

Damn I cant wait for this movie, hope it holds true to the Mass Effect universe.

A movie... based off of a video game? Have we not learned from the failures of the past?

[Recon911PDW]

I bet the movie will be in both 3-D and regular screenings.

Personal opinion, that sounds terrible. So if I vote for something that doesn't happen (i.e. I'm out voted) then I have to sit through something I didn't want to watch? Plus the inevitable pause in the movie while the votes are taken, tallied and the correct secquence is played will just pull you out of the experience. Movies are movies and games are games and when I'm watching  a movie I'm expecting it to tell me a story. If you wanted this why not just play the game?

I also don't see what the obsession with the first contact war is, theres an attack on some ships, colony gets invaded and liberated, the end. I also think that establishing the Turians as the enemy so early in a franchise would be a barrier to the audience connecting to them in future. The Mass Effect games are perfectly set up to be a movie, actually not a movie but a trilogy, theres a natural progression of the story that would pull moviegoers back in for all three. Of course all this is caveated by Hollywood not coming in thinking they know best and ruining it but as it stands I would be happy with, actually very excited, to see Sheps story played out on the big screen.

Oh and check out IMDB, it's so much fail. The synopsis says first contact war, but says it's starting Matthew Fox as Shepard.

How about making the fans decide thorugh voting what they want?...
Male or Female shapard?
Prequel, game story or post ME3 story.

and so on....

Because I readily admit that I know nothing about making movies, I'll leave it in the hands of professionals thanks.

[The Shadow Broker]

ME franchise is way to long, rich and complex for just a 2 hour movie, and real fans will be really dissapointed because they have love for some characters that they have spend hours and hours with, and the movie will overlock too many things.
So my vote is, make a contact war movie and just mention shepard as the blitz hero or the survivor or whatever at the end.Make anderson main character and turians the enemy.
Also noone of the races had idea about the reapers in that timespam, so they shouldn mention them in this movie, that actually is another adversity.
