That's the exact reason I won't be watching it, my Shepard's female for a start, so it's just going to be watching somebody elses story, with no control. I disagree with making RPG's films, it's like the "WoW and Fallout" films that "one day" they will make. It's going to cost so much to make a film about Mass Effect, I'd prefer they focused on the video game series

lol.. will you watch it if they tailor the game just to YOUR specific playthrough!!

The people sinking money into the film have nothing to do with the video series..
The fact that Casey Hudson and a couple of other guys are getting involved in the movie shows
they will keep true to the elements of the game..

It will be good.. dont fret people.

Shepard is not yours dumbhead. The Shepard in the movie is just one of many.

People really think they own Shepard. I like default shepard just like 80% of other gamers.

I cannot express how dissapointed I am in this > movies.ign.com/articles/118/1183708p1.html news. Why, why, why would they make the movie[s] off of the game[s]? This is idiodic, and this movie certaintly does not have my support. What have you done, Casey Hudson? Really?

SUCKS TO BE YOU NERD!

It is based on the first game? Crap! They should be doing a stand alone movie that takes place in the game universe, like Red Faction: Origins, instead of going the Resident Evil route.

They should be listening to the people who actually know who Jon Grissom is, and not the people who are like "oooh, it would be so cool if they got Sam Worthingtom as Shepard" or "I hope Shep's a girl in the film."

A straight adaptation of the game's plot is a lose-lose scenario: the hardcore VG players would be like "been there, done that" and the non-gamer crowd who the film will NEED to attract in order make any real money will be scratching their heads because you gotta ease them into the Universe a bit more slowly.

And let's face the music, this isn't going to be as mega-budget as, say, Avatar. Though I'm sure they have a larger budget than RFO, the fact remains that since this doesn't have a mega-auteur helming it and it doesn't have 4 decades of pop-culture behind it, the studios are going to see it as an "untested property" and will want to play it safe. Given how tough it was for the game to render lifelike turians in ME1 (all those texture issues with Garrus), aliens are going to need to be featured sparingly (and introduced gradually) to avoid breaking the bank. Green Lantern threw colorful aliens at us from the very beginning, and we all know how that turned out.  

The advantage of an ME movie would be that you could set one almost entirely on the Citadel, Omega, or Illium. That's the potential they should be realizing, the NG crowd will be far more interested in that than ships blowing up, and they would have no problem with the main villain being a batarian or a Harkin-style slimeball.

Some nerds need to shut the **** up. You are not the target group.

This is the reason the film should NOT follow the game's plot. Filmgoers are not RPGeeks, they generally tend to prefer quality over quantity. If you look at both ME games, several of the missions and assignments (such as BDTS, LOTSB, and Kasumi's loyalty missions) could be a film in and of themselves. If the entire movie took place on the Citadel, and the main villain was a cowardly volus with the krogan equivalent of Beavis and Butt-head backing him up, the gamer crowd would most likely be outraged, but the non-VG crowd who have no idea what Reapers are would have no problem with it if the story and production values are good. As for a Grissom's First Flight/FCW combination: FCW wasn't WW2, but it wasn't Shay's Rebellion either. With a movie, especially a freshman film, it is possible and necessary to have a smaller scale than a VG. People forget that the main villains in Iron Man were cave-dwelling terrorists and a corporate raider. Meanwhile, Green Lantern gave us more colorful aliens and eye candy than you could shake a stick at... 

If it's gonna involve Shepard or the Normandy, NO THANK YOU! Shepard is mine, and his decisions are mine too!

I would like to point out that I am NOT part of this group. In fact, I've taken more than my share of potshots against them. But in terms of scale, adapting Shepard's story for the screen is the wrong choice. TPTB should do something more along the lines of Red Faction: Origin instead of going the Resident Evil route.

I love the fact that it's based on the first game.

I especially love the tears.

You fail to realize that film is a different medium. The tropes of a VG will not translate well to celluloid. A cinema friendly smaller scale story is the way to go.

Those of you wanting a film adaptation of the game are just as shortsighted as fans of a TV show who clamor for the casting of an actor who NEVER does TV to appear on said show, then bashes the producers for being "too cheap" to make it happen.

Leave Shepard and the Reapers out of the films. They need to convince non-gamers that this is a smarter, more mature property than Halo or Doom, and bringing in giant mechanical squids right off the bat is not going to accomplish that. They need to do something more along the lines of Red Faction: Origins. Say what you want about RFO's execution, but they had the right idea. Utilize locales like Omega and Illium to their full potential instead of trying to figure out how many different ways alien bugs can explode.

As talented as Mark Prosotovich is, if he has no idea who Jon Grissom or the Illusive Man are, and is"too busy to look it up on that stupid wiki," then they should fire him.

Mass Effect 1 is my favourite movie of all time. Your argument is invalid.

[xXRevan0515Xx]

I am scared to see the end result of a movie adaptation of ME...I want non-gamers to appreciate the amazingness that is ME, but I want it done right. I don't want Michael Bay making everything explode, I want people to be introduced to a new galaxy and immerse themselves.

[lePlusCool]

IMHO ME1 could easily be adapted for the big screen. That it won't be the same as your personal playthrough is a different story. But this is always the case when something gets adapted. When you've read the book, you'll miss things in the film because it's someone else's interpretation of a story. And not yours.

In the end it's all about skill. If the screenwriter and the director are talented and inspired. Great things can and will happen. The basic story of ME1 is more than good enough.

[Toki]

I think it should be on the Contact War and humanity's events leading up to it.

[TheMindMaster]

It will suck i have 100 million dollars on it i dont think they can match the game good enough

[DextroDNA]

I'm pretty confident they can produce a good movie.

[Saremei]

I was worried that it WASN'T going to be based on the first game. I don't care what anyone here says, the first game's story was absolutely awesome and I for one am looking forward to this. It doesn't have to completely be a carbon copy of the story to interest me. They could rearrange the sequence of events for all I care, I'll still be happy with it.

[Mr Arg]

I agree with not basing the movie off shepard - retelling same story multiple times loses edge.
The universe has so many stories to tell...


...first contact war would be coooool.

[lePlusCool]

I don't think the first contact war would be so good a story for the ME movie. It's kind of a anticlimax really isn't it? War with an alien race sounds epic but in the ME universe it boiled down to a few short skirmishes with minmal casualties. And it ended because the council intervened, not because of some heroic effort by someone.

Don't get me wrong though, I LOVE the way humans made first contact with the turians. It's an almost casual event and because of this it feels real and tangible. And that's exaclty why it's unfit for movie adaptation. A hollywood epic would just spoil this.

 I for one don't think the movie will ever come out. Splinter Cell was supposed to have a movie, a really short trailer was even given with the release of Chaos Theory but alas none was released. Halo, Gears of War and I think even Bioshock were planned to be converted to the big screen but as yet we have no results, and with reason.  BW wants a movie but that doesn't mean they will make a movie. 

I had some hesistation as well about the idea of a Movie being a good idea.  But when you compare those games to Mass Effect they can't even stnd next to the game.  Mass Effect has a much more irch story to explore.  Those other games were just games a few cut scenes but no actual meat to the story.  Mass Effect there is alot of dialog and charater development.  If anything Mass Effect is a completely different bird then those other games.  The game excellently employs the use of cinematic cut's and 'camera' angles similar to that of a movie.  But the focus in Mass effect was less a spectacle of imagery (which was really all Halo and GOW had) and more a personal quest of discovery and development.  The characters in Mass Effect are much richer and varied then in GOW.  Although a movie of the other two would be great as well I would put it in the same pile as a Michael Bay Transformers movie.  likewise I would put Mass Effect more into hte Star Wars/LOTR cartegory in terms of potential.

lol, saying that bioshock doesn´t have a solid story...


And the Gears, Halo and Bioschok movies didn´t went through because no one was willing to fund the movies, because they were to expensive to do.

As to Splinter Cell, they had Peter Berg, but he started doing project after project, and SC slided to development hell...


Oh, and while I want a ME1 movie, I know that some trimming wil be necessary. My bet is that they are going to merge Feros and Therum, and then Noveria and Virmire...

[Alex533]

Im sure it has already been said, but I think it would be great for many people to reprise their role from the games. I mean obviously some of them are not actors but for the ones who are it would be great. Martin Sheen has to play ILM if they do a sequel, Keith David should play Anderson, Seth Green as Joker etc. It would be great but unlikely if any CG characters could also be voiced by the voice actor from the game e.g Wrex etc.

I super psyched for the movie, but how are they gonna pull it off? They said it will tell the story of the first game, but in Mass Effect there are so many ways the story will start, continue, and end. How will they choose the series of events that occurred in the game for the film?  I'm not trying to bash the movie or anything, I'm just wondering.

[Kali073]

I'm kind of unsure what to think of the movie but I don't think it should follow the game. It's not because I think Shepard 'belongs to me' but more because I've already seen that story several times from the point of view ofseveral different Shepards.

The game already felt like an interactive movie in a way so I don't see how a movie based on it would bring anything new and interesting. Ok so it might be a bit interesting to see it live-action but I think the novelty will pass pretty quickly.

That's why I think the story could use Shepard as a character (or not) but shouldn't touch on the game storyline. Although it seems they'll be going that route anyway.

[LaWoods]

You guys are over-reacting. Let's look at past films based off of comic books with raging nerds. Spider-Man. That turned out okay, not great. But was FANTASTIC to anyone who had not read the comics. X-Men, was good up to the third movie, then origins was crap, then First class was AMAZING for comic nerds AND the average crowd. Batman: Begins was pretty good and correct, Dark Knight was pretty damn awesome. Mass Effect is just a repeated story of nerds raging about a movie, then it turns out good or bad, for the best or for the worst...like Resident Evil.

A movie in itself. Might be worth pitching.
