Okay, I'll give you the Game Informer point. But the other two are valid. Why do I say that? IGN has a film division which announced that in May just after BioWare's own press release stating the same information. Don't think that I am attacking you. I'm just saying that I've found IMDB to be very unreliable, and so I find the information in two independent sources before I let myself get too excited. If you can provide a secondary source for this beyond IMDB that's legitimate: i.e., a film magazine or a BioWare/EA announcement, than I'll consider your information legitimate. Other than that, I will not consider it so. I'll consider it speculation.
 As I said in my post, I understand your concerns if this turns out to be true. All I'm saying is that it needs more than a single source to be proven accurate. The best source is a statement by BioWare officials. They've made statements regarding the Mass Effect film before, and unless I'm very much mistaken, they've not announced a change in that regard. (the producers).
 Anyways, I'm not trying to argue. Just pointing out that one should always be careful. How many times have we seen someone pop up on the forums and post something that hasn't been true? Now, in this case, if it follows like the news about Arrival did, than we'll get an announcement in the next few weeks.
 I'm with you in regards to keeping the Turians as a respectable, if somewhat strict, race. They're interesting, at least.

Bioware isn't making the film. They aren't part of the film. They announced the fact the film was being made strictly due to the fact that EA runs these forums, who are producers, and because it was relevant. What I've revealed here isn't casting rumors or anything, it's exactly what the film producers wrote. I didn't write it for them, I'm just relaying their own information. Don't count on Bioware to be all on top of the film's details, they are a video game developer.

I can't think of a single scenario where a Mass Effect movie about Shepard could have turned out well. Solely because it wouldn't be about my Shepard.

This argument hurts my head. The idea that the Mass Effect story is owned by the gamers boggles my mind. Just because it wouldn't be "your" Shepard doesn't mean that it would suck, be horrible, and not be worth making. Get over yourselves, please.

"Mark Protosevich is writing the screenplay. He wrote I Am Legend, and worked on Thor, among other films. I am not certain he is the best choice. Avi Arad is a credited producer, who worked on Iron Man, Spider Man 1 & 2, Ghost Rider, and other generic films. Take that as you will."

lmao!

thanks for the info, now i wont bother to get excited about it

Tell us your ideal variant of a possible Mass Effect big screen adaptation then, please. Then watch the reactions you'll get here. And then try and understand the filmmakers.

If I understand correctly, anyone with a Pro account can submit information and can edit pages. If not, my mistake.

Regardless, I'm still treating this as speculation and won't belive anything until there are formal announcements. After all ...

Note: Because this project is categorized as in development, the data is only available onIMDbPro and is subject to change.

Members of IMDBPro can submit errors, which are reviewed, at the most. You cannot freely edit information unless it's your own project and you're the producer. Even the screenplay writer and actors can't change that information. "Subject to change" is also not indicated on the official summary, and is used liberally on a page where changes can be made to a variety of things. The screenplay is in the process of being written as of January this year, so whatever the summary says is what they are working off of.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. Interested to see how this all pans out.

And THANK YOU for this post:

If the turians are just going to say "All humans must die!!" in a corny sinister tone, or the ever cheesey alien-like "RAWR", than I will Laugh in the theaters and spill my popcorn... then I'll be dissapointed because I'll have no popcorn.

You must be completely delusional.

Of course Mass Effect is owned by the people who play it. We determine Shepard's sex and appearance. We decide how Shepard reacts to situations. We direct Shepard's actions (to a degree). We invest in Shepard because we're responsible for shaping the character.

Putting a single Shepard onscreen does a disservice to every other Shepard out there.

I would only be ok with this if they don't completely villainise the turians and showed us a bit of how their society/Hierarchy works and functions. The First Contact War was a very brief "war" and it has the potential to make the turians look like bad guys even though humans form an alliance with them in the future. Also, good chance of seeing young Saren which could be cool. Not that I put much stock in this information or anything, I'll remain sceptical until we start seeing trailers.

[Anchor654]

That plot logline actually sounds pretty cool. I'm looking forward to it. I think they can do a lot with the discovery on Mars and relate it to our world today before they go out into the Mass Effect universe that we know fully in the games.

They arent ruining ME1/2? YES. IF its true.

Speculating about how the story would play out is one thing. I'm sure everyone has a different idea. Even the professionals would disagree with each other - adaptation is a tricky thing. But this isn't adaptation anymore. It's not even the video game. It's a blatant cash-in on the title, and it will be treated as such. I mean, if I'm wrong and they make something truly amazing I will gladly stand corrected. But we've seen this a thousand times before and from where I stand now, this is no different.

Regardless, nobody is offering insight... they're just saying "Good! Nobody wanted that movie cause we own Shepard! He's us and nobody can write him! Rawr Rawr Rawr!" It's really, really stupid logic.

Who do you honestly think you are? You think that Mass Effect is YOUR story and YOU hold the rights to it, or something? I'm sorry, did you write it? Did you publish it? No. You're an absolute moron who thinks that the world revolves around YOU. Guess what, it doesn't.

If it's true, his makes total sense. The First Contact War is really the "start" of the Mass Effect universe, and it's the perfect place to drop newbies into said universe.

However, every video game movie ever made has sucked donkey balls. I'm not holding my breath that this one will be any different, especially given the recent retconning, destructive, rule-of-cool influence that Mac Walters has exerted over the intellectual property.

Seriously. If they ****** this up I don't think I'll be able to properly express the amount of respect I will lose for Bioware.

[Destroy Raiden_]

BW should stop now this is exactly what got the first final fantasy movie (FF Spirits within) to fail miserably and get tons and tons of flaming nukes hurled at them by the fans of the FF universe so badly so they had to make a second FF movie (FF Advent Children) that put in the FF7 characters and evolved the story from the game. So to learn what Square Enix did BW make the movie about Shep and fallow after 3 or if you can't do that make the movie about ME1 and go into more details add a few missions in there and save yourselves the flames and hatred of your fans.

I love, love, love that first one.  Amazing.
And I guess they could combine live actors with computer modifications (for example, to give the turians their tiny waists which no actors could emulate).

Because the movie's story is not a direct adaptation of the video-game, it's a "blatant cash-in"?

That doesn't make a lick of sense. If anything, that statement should be reversed. We're going to be seeing something new in the Mass Effect universe, not something that we are already familiar with.
