I hope everyone here doesn't psych each other up too much for this, we don't know the progress of this movie at all, and I don't think they're going to reveal a whole lot during this panel.

The most I would count on is announcing the director, and Del Toro is going to be on that panel himself, so...

One can only hope. 

Too Late! The announcement of the director will be a bombshell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

many seem not to grasp that Bioware didn't actually give you much choice, you get throughout the course of the game minor variations on the plot and cannot majorly affect the outcome. ... You can kill the Rachni queen and different people can die on the SM but what is  really different about your playthroughs?

I disagree entirely.  The first and second movies didn't have wildly different endings based on your choices, because they need a relatively common starting point for ME3 for everyone, or else it would be too difficult to make the game make sense plot-wise.  But several things that happen are NOT negligible.  Making a possible powerful ally (or foe) extinct?  Big deal.  Death of several (or even nearly all) major characters?  HUGE deal.  The difference in outlooks between Wrex and his alternate could change the entire direction of the Krogan in ME3.  Having Legion's insight vs. selling him to Cerberus?  Giving the collector base to Cerberus vs. destroying it?  All of those could have important implications in ME3.  So yeah, maybe the choices so far haven't necessarily changed the endings to the games a lot (although I'd argue that getting your squad killed vs. surviving at the end of ME2 is pretty damn significant), I totally disagree that you don't have choice, or that the choices you do make aren't likely to affect the outcome of the game.

Anyway, as far as the movie plot goes, I'm keeping an open mind.  I don't particularly care about them creating some canon version of Shepard -- my Shepard is still my Shepard, and he is what matters to me.  I know other people have different Shepards and made different choices, and I look at the movie the same way.  So I don't fundamentally have a problem with making a movie of Shepard.

However...  it needs to be done right, and I don't think they'd give the people behind the scenes enough leeway and commitment to do that in the same way it was for LoTR.  I wouldn't insist on every scene, mission, and conversation being in the movie like some sticklers might, but the game would take AT LEAST two long movies to do right, even if they cut out some of the stuff that isn't hugely plot-important.  ME just doesn't have the following to get that kind of commitment, I think.

The FCW could be interesting, it depends on how they do it.  If the whole movie is just a space war then it will be boring.  If the war is only part of the story and it includes things like intergalactic politics and the inevitable culture clash of humans discovering alien life on a massive scale, maybe it would be much cooler.

I also wouldn't mind it if they did a story about something else happening in the universe that isn't in the games directly but which is alluded to, like the novels.  I think it is good for the movie to be at least peripherally connected to the game, however, or else it will just feel too separated from everything we love about the setting.

According to Twitter, it will not be live streaming, but rather live blogged here: www.g4tv.com/comiccon-2011/panels-and-live-blogs/MassEffectAndLegendaryPicturesPanel/120/

And the panel is not just about Mass Effect, so who knows how much time Casey will have to talk about it.

i think the live blog just said there was a mass effect movie trailer!

I sure hope that trailer gets released. I doubt this guy typing has any clue what he's talking about with regards to Mass Effect, considering he called it just 'Video Games!'  <_<

maybe he meant a game trailer to introduce it.  it just seems so early.

It had to have been a game trailer. If they're in the early stages of development, not a single frame has been shot yet.

[MustOnen]

Yeah it was a game trailer, though I hope it was a new one.

[Dazaster Dellus]

Sounds like the movie is about the games. Who would have forseen that?!

They didn't really say much about anything.

We'll see. They were really vague. They were just saying that video game movies tend to not have the best source material, and that Mass Effect is different.

I thought it must have been some sort of teaser-trailer that doesn't actually show any footage. That would have at least elaborat on the premise of the movie..

Yeah, ideally. But I don't think there's even a completed script yet.

They don't even know what the movie's going to be about, other than the title? That doesn't sound good.

Yeah they were, but the implications were there. Saying things like

* "Casey is making sure that they make sure to include scenes and ideas that they know the fans will love" (which makes it sound as though they are transferring some of the scenes we have already experienced and loved)

* "Filmmakers try to translate this into a movie but ignore the test of whether or not the game has a strong storyline or character development"

in combination with

* "Working with Legendary has allowed them to make sure their movie will be different from other video game movies." (Makes it sound like they are following the game story but with Casey on board it will be done better and differently than other filmmakers have tried, because it will be true to the source material.)

No it doesn't. It was a bunch of vague PR and nothing more. Frankly, I'm sticking with what IMDB Pro provided.

Anyway, copied everything that was said in the live blog in case anyone missed. There wasn't much anyway and zero details on the movie's actual plot/setting/timaframe, no details on cast/director etc:

1:22 Now we're on to video games!!!
1:23 Or at least a very special one....with a Mass Effect trailer!
1:25 They're in the early stages of developing the ME film but the game creators are here!
1:26 Casey Hudson and Mark Protosevich
1:26 Casey says te strength of the game comes from the characters n
1:27 Mark says gamers can be easily seduced by the visuals and cinematic qualities of a game, including gameplay.
1:28 Filmmakers try to translate this into a movie but ignore the test of
whether or not the game has a strong storyline or character development.
1:28 Mark likens this to talking to a hot girl and finding out they can't carry a conversation.
1:30 Mass Effect has a universe as strong as Star Wars and LOTR. Now it's about making this into a good film.
1:31 Casey is making sure that they make sure to include scenes and ideas that they know the fans will love.
1:31 Working with Legendary has allowed them to make sure their movie will be different from other video game movies.
1:33 Strong stories and strong characters, just like other Legendary films. Making sure the ME film is good starts with good partnerships.

I will say this.....this panel was definitely overhyped. Casey is the man, but we don't know anything more about the movie now then we did yesterday.

[MustOnen]

Damn, the panel trailer was just the 2010 VGA trailer.

I'm just assuming there's no finished script because they said the movie is in its early stages of development. Maybe they just don't want to spill the beans yet.

Kinda wish I would have took that advice. This means we still get to voice our opinion on who and what this movie should be.

[Viper 029]

Just read the Kotaku article, from the way they phrased it, it sounds like the movie will cover all three games. Then again this might just be their interpretation of what was said during the panel, as I don't like the idea of this. On the bright side the film is planned to release 2012.
