With todays technology its not hard to combine live-action with CGI. Shepard will be live-action, but the aliens mostly CGI. Unless they hire some good costume designer and some good make-up artists. Just look at the Hellboy characters. Without CGI, still nice looking.

And i dont think budget will be a problem. Legendary Pictures are not poor. Lets hope they are willing to risk a lot of money for this movie to make it a quality movie. And Legendary doesnt seems like a company who accepts poor movies.

This should be the back story of Shepard. We all heard about it but we should see how he became a hero. please tell me what you think.

That wouln't work because there are three different backgrounds (War Hero, Sole Survivor and Ruthless) to chose from ingame and so they'd have to go with the default Sheploo one which would upset many fans (inevitably of course)

To be honest i'd prefer it to follow someone else's story like the VS... Though that contradicts my previous statment. Well, I can dream...

true, what about his/her's parents, and their involvment?

[Third ShadowOps]

Oh great idea!!

There should be a DLC. or something that you can make your own movie in the game that you played.
shows all actions but in a cinematic point of view.

or creates a movie based on the actions you made.

But let's say it is Shepard's story. I do not know if I could handle characters looking and sounding different. I have a hard time with movie adaptations of books as it is. It's gonna be 100x times worse because I have already seen and heard all the characters in the games. I have a feeling that I might end up not liking the movie even if it is well-executed. Plus, I'm a fan of Femshep and they will surely use male Shepard (and he/she would be different as well).

I really hope that they will create new original characters for the movie(s).

So, I guess bazillions of fans were wrong about the movie adaptation of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.  And they will all be equally wrong about the forthcoming "The Hobbit" adaptation.

The "first contact war" lasted all of a few hours and wasn't even a "war".  It was an accidental shootout that ended as quickly as it began, resolving nothing at all.  A big "oopsie!"  Not worthy of a movie - as it was, it has been appropriately relegated to a side note in the entire Mass Effect story.  A tempest in a teapot.

I believe there was solid mention that the movie was going to properly be centered on Shepard.  He is the end-all, be-all of the entire story.  He is THE core of all the main decisions and events in the universe of Mass Effect.  He's the one (the ONLY one) who gets a hint of the Reapers and follows it through while the rest of the Mass Effect universe poo-poos the whole idea.  He's the one who actually defeats one at the Citadel.  No one else was involved in any movie-worthy way.  He's the one who led the mission against the Collectors and THE only person to lead a crew successfully through the Omega Relay to the galactic core and return.  He's at the heart of the battle in ME3 against the full-on onslaught of the Reapers.  Making a story/movie about anyone else is focusing on nits of no real import, dancing around the REAL story.  It's like trying to tell the story of World War II without ever mentioning Hitler or ****s.  It's like trying to tell the story of Vietnam without mentioning Kennedy, Johnson, McNamara, and Ho Chi Minh.  Ridiculous.

Who gives a flying f*ck about some hick from colony Puke out in the "Beta Cluster" who does nothing of import in the real story?  The real story is Shepard and his crew, not any other crew, not some side characters.  That's the stuff of a TV series, not a clean trilogy movie...and if the movie is to be a one-off, then it might as well not even be called "Mass Effect" because it wont address anything of real importance in the storyline beyond gratuitious mention of this race or that race.  Who cares?

In any case, the more this obnoxious argument or whiny discussion goes on where about 100 total fanboys (the people in these forums) seek to dictate that a movie must NOT violate their religious belief that Shepard is a woman, or a guy who looks like THEIR Shepard and no other (how can you STAND the male Shepard being depicted on all the cover art for the game from day one?  The HORROR!) when del Toro and EA/Bioware are aiming at a MUCH larger audience of millions of people who don't want to hear your take on Shepard with boobs or balls.  Sheesh.  The target audience ISN'T YOU except by accident.  You don't present enough money to care about vs millions of moviegoers who will require a self-cohering story with a logical beginning, middle, and end, and a clear core figure.  Anything else is a movie that makes you go, "WTF? What's all this nonsense?"

Let go of your religion, it is addling your brains.

So what?  The writers/creators had a particular Shepard in mind when they made the game up.  They didn't start out with an amorphous blob called "Shepard".  They actually had A character in mind and THEN set the game so players could dick with it.  Choosing one, the form they had in their mind at the beginning, is not a wrong move.  It wont effect your game play pleasure one iota because you will be long finished with ME3 (and 2 and 1) by the time the movie is finished and hits theaters.  You will be all absorbed by some OTHER game by that point, merely thinking fondly of the dinosaur days of Mass Effect games (in computer time, a year may as well be a decade, two years a lifetime).

They can't concern themselves overmuch with a hundred of so fanboys/girls when the audience targetted is in the millions, most of whom never heard of the game, or have heard of it but never played it (and never will).  That is where the big bucks comes from, not a piddly little (relatively speaking) handful of outrageously/religiously devoted fans with no real jobs or other accoutrements of real life.  I'm trying to point you all at a broader perspective.  Yours (the collective "yours", not yours specifically) is not that important, all insular and clouded.

Movies based on games haven't done well, or been well done, as a rule.  Can't think of a single one. 

Maybe this will be the exception.  Maybe.  Or maybe it will turn out to be something that I watch from Amazon streaming movies some lazy afternoon when I have nothing else going on at the time.  I'll wait for the trailers, then some of the early reviews. 

When I think of games into movies, I have two that come immediately to mind: "Doom" and "Mortal Kombat", or as I think of them, "Sh*t" and "Cr@p", or collectively as "I blew money on THIS?".

Deus Ex: Human Revolution...now THAT'S got movie potentional now and there's no arguing whether or not Adam Jenson is a dude or a chick, some pretty boy sissy with moussed hair or some masculine female.

Canon is whatever the writer/creator of the game pictured in his mind when he generated the whole thing.  Nothing wrong with that.  It IS his baby.

[OmegaBlue0231]

If it's live-action I really hope for the alien races they just use computers to touch up actors in makeup because CGI aliens usually look like **** when inserted into a live action movie.

Also they need to stick to the original story as close as they can, which ever path they choose. You look at any video game based movie and the main flaw is they take away from the meaning of it, a game series that almost makes as much money as some major studio releases has to be doing something right story-wise. Usually they get some 'director' who things he's Micheal Bay and he tries to make it into a typical action shooter movie with no depth. Where's Steven Spielberg when you need him, he made a war movie with guys getting their limbs blown off but you were still engrossed by the plot.

[monkeyboy8545]

it wont work, think about it they will  have to make different endings for PARAGON AND RENEGAGE. i do want to see it but without this it will mess up with my gameplay and the movie things i have in my head.
reply what you think?

[Lasiewicz]

I think the first contact war would be a perfect start for the Mass Effect movie. Especially seeing that non gamers will probably go and watch it. It's perfect for an introduction to the Mass Effect universe. And, if its a big success (which if done right, it should) they can move onto something in the game trilogys timeline.

I totally agree with you. Plus fans and gamers will always have the games. And they are small % of all people on Earth. So all of them who want different story for the movie are just selfish. Others who don't play video games should have the opportunity to enjoy the awesome mass effect story, SHEPARD's story.  Also one of the most important things in the game were the characters. Some of them are based on real people who get older you know.  So making a movie about the first contact war and later do a movie based on the games story is just stupid.

Peace.

P.S Please excuse my bad english.

Still think a Ripley-style subversion of the old tired male protagonist would have been cooler. Hell, I'd be happy if they cast a dark-skinned guy, or a redhead--anything interesting.

But if they're dead set on the Sheploo look, if they cast Warren Christie, I'd forgive them. Hell, Ian Somerhalder could work, too; him with a shaved head would be interesting. All I want is not to be bored stiff with a bland, white-bread Shepard, regardless of his other characteristics. They'll have to choose a good character actor, not a bland go-through-the-motions type, to make the character memorable, fun, and sympathetic even to those of us for whom Shepard is another kind of animal. And that's what I want.

Hell, if they took Mark Meer, even though he maybe doesn't have the look or the humongous muscles some people associate with space marines, I'd be much happier than if they chose some of the really dull big names who always play the same character in everything they star in. I don't want or need Shepard to look like Arnold S. I hope the people casting this feel the same.

No. Just no, not even comparable. The fans might have had the same complaint but the end result is NOT the same. Why? 

Lord of the Rings and he Hobbit have both been produced with the purpose of high fidelity to the original stories and characters, other then some omissions, what is on screen is pretty much what is in the books. The actors portray their characters as closely as possible, their look and costumes are very close to what is described. There is NO voice acting in books other then in your head which makes it  a heck of a whole lot easier to accept someone's acting as it helps define what you had imagined. 

With ME we have already seen visually what the characters look and sound like, if they don't hire the same voice actors (which to me look like their characters too) it's going to create a disconnect. 

It is IMPOSSIBLE to have a commander Shepard we all agree with. If you love your Shepard none other really matters. This is Bioware's doing by letting us customize this character. This is Bioware's doing by saying over and again there's no canon. And yet here we are presented with something that is canon. You could say it's an alternate universe Shepard and friends, but you know what? People who don't know much about the game will see the movie as canon.

This is why I oppose it. Anytime someone will mention movie Shepard to me I will respond with "that's not my Shepard". 

I'll consume anything that's Mass Effect as long as there is no canon Shep, that's my rule and honestly there's nothing wrong with it. That's the attitude Bioware bred with this game from the beggining. 

DISCLAIMER 

I am NOT saying this is a bad move, in a marketing stand point it's fine. More people will get to know ME sure. However I will defend fanboys and girls who choose not to see this movie. We are not going to create much of a dent or endanger the movie's success by any means but Bioware should know how we feel too if they are looking to do more movies in the future or other forms of media and entertainment. 

Being selfish is the consumer's job. It's our money after all.

For everyone who will be attending the San Diego Comic Con make sure you save some time for the Legendary Studios panel on Friday July 22.

How cool is that? Our own Casey Hudson sitting on a panel with Del Toro, Bridges, Cooper and other film luminaries.

We'll try to sent a camera crew from the booth over to the panel and get some footage, but the best way to see it is to make sure you take in the Legendary Studios panel at San Diego Comic Con.

and i like the first contact war idea, just as long as we get to see all species during the movie.

Totally needs to be a romantic comedy about the reapers in deep space

[Kevin Martell]

I think they should avoid doing a movie about Shepard, but if there was a cameo appearance by Mark Vanderloo as Shepard,* that would be cool.

Obviously Vanderloo wouldn't speak or anything. Or they could overdub his voice. Ha.

[Lord Jaric]

I think people really need to stop taking these things so seriously. And when I say things I'm not just talking about movie adaptations, I'm talking about movies, games, fiction books, music, ect in general. People become to emotionally invested in these things and start to become too attached to certain things, even within the things they are fans of. This just causes problems, people get fights with those that have different opinions then them, people start to close their minds out to other things they could like, and taking this stuff so seriously just sucks the fun out of enjoying them.

In the case of movie adaptations, forget about what it based on, forget about the original story, just open you mind and watch the movie, judge the movie based on the story it has created, judge the characters based on how the story has set them up to be. Just judge the movie for the movie and not what it originates from.
