As much as I wish he would do it, the mofo won't. We need to organize some sort of blackmail scheme to force him to direct it, maybe photograph him banging a Navii or something.

Three simple words. Uwe ****ing Boll.

Now, before any of you rage at me just for the sake of raging and having no opinion at all, let me explain why Uwe Boll would be the perfect director for the ME movie. First of all, he's the Stanley Kubrick of video game movies. Disagree with me? Sit down and watch Postal. This man has played his video games and he delivers. Trust me.

Still unimpressed? Alone in the Dark. He captures the atmosphere of the game in this one and all I was missing when watching that movie was the game controller, because I felt like I was playing the game. Still unimpressed? Well search up this man's filmotography, he makes video game movies from Bloodrayne to Farcry. Speak to me a in a few decades, his movies are going to be long talked about, this man knows what he's doing.

Now, if we can get him to work on Mass Effect, we can get a very solid film that the fans deserve. And that's what we want right? A good movie. Uwe Boll can take care of that, he's got the video game movie experience no director out there has. Disagree with me? Prove it. I'd like you to show me a director that has half the experience Uwe Boll has. That's what I thought.

Haha, I like the whole irony thing there, nice

Because the only reason Avatar was a success was because of the 3-D gimmick. In reality it was Pocahontas in space.

Actually it was Dances with Wolves in Space

This, the story was nothing special and th overall plotline wev seen several times before.  Avatar had nice graphics and good voice acting... That was about it.

Not just that. The movie had charming characters, great pacing and sense of adventure, awesome action scenes and overall a great "epic feeling".

Epic? Hardly. It was underwhelming at best.

ok as much as i do not want too see a mass effect movie,i want too see a james cameron mass effect movie even less.avatar is overated, seriously ok the CGI was great,the action was great,the charecters suck,and the plot is foolish at best the ultra bad corperate humans vs the ultra good native pandorans whos god/deity lives in the trees around the planet.i found myself hating the aliens and praying for the bad humans too wipe them all out.cameron would no doubt do this too mass effect SOMEHOW he would make the HUMANS the villians and the REAPERS completly justified in wipeing everything in the galaxy out.

I dont want too see a MASS EFFECT movie adpation of the game and i surley dont want cameron too make it.cameron is overated just like his most recent box office sucscess.but this is just my oppion feel free to disagree if you wish.

Uwe should make a movie about scannning the planets for minerals.

Spielberg for me, he's been putting aliens in everything of his lately so give him some awsome aliens to work with.

Ergh, the guys who are saying if Cameron directed it he would turn it intro "Tree hugging crap" are so infinitesimally close minded it's beginning to get on my nerves, he has done one film based upon that, believe it for not, Cameron makes good films, you may not like the films that he's made, but can you honestly say that any of his films have been bad?

Also, Avatar is far less than a 3-D gimmick, Blu-ray, on a projector was by far the best cinematic experience I've had in my life. (And I saw it in the IMAX) The clarity of everything was just... Stunning. At that size, everything still looked somehow better quality than my eyes, it was almost unnerving.

One thing I will give you though, is that the storyline of Avatar has been done to death, but the writing was truly superb. That's why, the sequels (if done correctly) could be so much better, he could use a decent storyline, instead of having to use an already familiar one to flesh out the film.

But I digress, James Cameron as a director for the ME movie, well I'm sure the movie could make a lot of money, and no matter you look at it, profit margin is the sign of doing something right, and his films have certainly never been short of that.

The only problem I could see is that he'd probably deviate from the actual storyline of ME, so it depends what you want, a good ME themed film, or an actual ME film.

That's of course, assuming the impossible, and that he takes on this project.

Realistically, I was very impressed by District 9 and the Star Trek movie, so I'd pick either of those directors.

I agree this crap about how if James Cameron directs it'll turn into 'tree hugging' just demonstrates the depth of ignorance of some of the mudslinging going on here. James Cameron does indeed direct films that aren't about trees, shockingly enough - he does do other stuff (including a little film called Aliens, which in itself was one of the inspirations for Mass Effect, according to Casey Hudson).

I'm not sure JC would go for an IP that he hasn't designed from the ground up - I know of only one that he's done before (the aforementioned Aliens, and even that included a *lot* of new material compared to the first film). People have been mentioning JJ Abrams and Neill Blokammp. They both have demonstrated a level of understanding of how to bring science fiction to the big screen with a lot of panache, I'm willing to bet either will a good choice for Director.

That would be epic fail people.

[Siansonea]

Uwe Boll? I'm sorry, but anyone who isn't joking with this suggestion is a failure as a human being. Uwe Boll is the Hack To End All Hacks. Seriously, BloodRayne was heinous. The dimbulb even has to finance his own films because no one in their right mind would give him money to make movies. He and Michael Bay are on my 'won't even see it' list.

I wouldn't mind seeing Peter Jackson's take on Mass Effect, or perhaps Ridley Scott. George Lucas is right out, he is terrible at story-craft. The Star Wars franchise has been successful in spite of Lucas, not because of him. Spielberg is so last century.

[ShamieGTX]

Spielberg, Bay, Fevreau, Jackson, Cameron, Scott....Errrr Maybe? those are the only directors i could think of right now

[JKoopman]

I'd rather have J.J. Abrams direct an ME movie than James Cameron. Cameron is over-rated. The last really good movie he made was Terminator 2, and that was what... 19 years ago? And before that it was Aliens, 5 years prior.

People act like he's some kind of film-making genius but he's only got 2... maybe 3 decent pictures to his name. All he's really got going for him is a bloated budget.

And yes, Avatar was crap. I haven't the faintest idea why people describe it as revolutionary. It was a complete rip almost word-for-word of Pocahontas. It was formulaic and the ending was sappy and completely predictable. And a man can only have so much propaganda shoved down his throat, regardless whether he agrees with the message, before it starts getting trite. All that film had going for it was flashy CG thanks to Cameron's aforementioned bloated budget...

I'm guessing the T2 wasn't your thing?

He generally got his rep from making films that brought a major return of investment. And to put it bluntly, having stuff like both Terminators, Avatar, Aliens and Abyss on your CV speaks more of a talent as a director rather than being someone who's just overrated.

Not the most unpredictable film, I'll give you that. But trying to claim a film like Avatar is 'crap' when it's the most profitable and most technically accomplished film of all time is a bit like trying to claim black is white. All it does is make you look a bit silly.

 eye rolling action scenes .

Oh sweet lordy, all the bashers are out in force today. Look, I'm no stranger to the fact that Avatar's storyline was about as predictable as the tides, but to call the action scenes in Avatar 'eye-rolling' imply that you've found virtually every action-scene in any science fiction film in the last 20 years 'eye-rolling'. The sheer level of animation and pacing across the film won awards from every angle.

It's one thing pointing out Avatar's weaknesses when discussing reservations about Cameron directing ME. I personally don't think he'd be able to pull it off, as although there's enough evil corporations and bad dudes, I'm not sure it portrays the right level of 'anti-war' vibe he tends to have in his films.

But to write off Avatar's actions scenes as 'eye-rolling' is little more bias overload. Next you'll be saying Avatar was crap because it didn't have enough space battles, or that it didn't have enough Sarah Connor.

Twelve Monkeys was great, but it wasn't Space Opera. I'm much more inclined to support a director with a proven track record of the kind of thing seen in ME... Spielberg, Cameron, Blokammp, Abrams, any of them I'm sure - they've proved before they know how to plausibly depict a sci-fi world.

Granted, I'm not even sure what to describe The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus as... maybe a stoner-movie with lots of pretty colours? It's just really, really bizarre. I think it sets a worrying precedent for Gilliam's future films.

A box office success =/= a good film. If we're to believe otherwise, then Michael Bay is the greatest director of our generation.

Flashy CG and lots of pretty explosions may lure the average American troglodyte into theaters, but a revolutionary piece of film-making it is not.

Am I perhaps undeservingly harsh on Avatar? Maybe. But for the same reason that I hate on Megan Fox; because she's mediocre at best and yet hailed as some sort of sexual goddess, just as Avatar is a mediocre film that for some reason is constantly hailed as the greatest piece of cinema since the invention of the moving picture.

I think its a set up for failure, Mass Effect is simply not movie material. We can all see the reviews now, it will inevitably be compared to the new Star Trek film, so to make an impact it has to be at least as good.



Its going to be tough convincing critics that Mass Effect brings anything new to the table. The story and setting is solid but the personalization and interactivity is the core of Mass Effect. Making an impact, experiencing your very own sci-fi epic where you drive the story.



Is Mass Effect strong enough to stand by itself without those aspects?
