yeah i will not go see a mass effect movie. espescially since the movie will probably have the same neding as the game

[ApuLunas]

thank you god!

[durasteel]

Maybe in 6 years they'll be making the third Mass Effect movie based on ME3, and we can finally see the the ending re-written. By that point the phrase "artistic integrity" should be an established trope that means "to pretend that something of low quality that you created in a hurry in order to make a fast buck or to meet a deadline is actually 'art' and that anyone who doesn't like it simply requires greater 'clarity' to understand it."

I just hope they don't botch up the characters or take any out. I can just imagine them removing Tali or Garrus. That would suck.

[kellyofthemagi]

Tali and Garrus are key characters. It wouldn't be true Mass Effect without them. They are doable.

[Lightice_av]

So what do you guys imagine they'd do with Shepard? The most generic protagonist in the world without player's imagination? Just how would they deal with Shepard's character, or rather lack thereof? The only reason why Shepard has any in the games is because we put ourselves in his/her position and determine why s/he does these decisions. Without player Shepard is an unperson without identity. There is literally no way to make an interesting movie about Shep in the lead.

exactly. but they screw up every game and book made into a movie. I have to say I'm not expecting any better from them here...

I suspect they'll make him half paragon half renegade. I think they said he'll romance Ashley. Besides that, due to mass effect three shepard has a character of his own, which is awesome.

The only movie set in the Mass Effect universe that I would have any interest in seeing would be following a new set of (human) characters as they discover they aren't alone in the universe.

First Contact War...

I also think this is better.

The history of the games i prefer to see in a TV series.

[KrazyKiko]

I'm guessing I missed something...have they said if the movie would be "Live Action" version, a mix of LA + CGI (a la Avatar), or a CGI-only release? I'd prefer CGI so I could still enjoy all the same (great) voice actors...

[Anakin1000]

If Hudson is working on Mass Effect Movie, I guess We can expect another dose of SpaceMagic and "Artistic Integrity". God save the ME Universe!

Some news, finally? Maybe we'll finally find out if it's going to be Shepard-centric or not. Maybe.

It's basically granted it's gonna depict First Contact War.

That was never officially announced. Am I the only one who really thinks the First Contact War was too short and involved too little of the Mass Effect universe to become an entire movie?

Well, I remember the B5 movie about the minbari war. It was better than most B5 movies, but mediocre compared to the actual series... I'm sure it will be interesting, but I fear it won't be a masterpiece. Adapting games to movies has a scatchy at best, but none of those games had a rich background like the MEverse. So I'm cautiously optimistic.

[Spartas Husky]

Forget about this or not. Not really matters. If Casey hudson is involved, we already know is goign to be thrilling up tot he very last 5 minutes. When someone farts in the theater and Bioware tells us that guy was the ending. Enjoy.

[Doctor Uburian]

They are even capable of exaggerating the Thorian and Husks subplot to make it a Zombie movie.

I hope they make an Asimov worthy robot-centric film.

[Spartas Husky]

If is pg-13 I certainly wont see it.

What I'm trying to say is that there could be a lot more to it than "First Contact War," pew pew; it could be a way to show us what humanity was like during that time. Did Cerberus exist even then in some form? What were they up to? What was the political environment like? Were we all one big nation speaking a unified language? Religion? How did we overcome nuclear wars, overpopulation, a lack of resources? What was the lunar colony like? How did we take the news as a race that the galaxy doesn't revolve around us? How did the other races react to us (obviously not well with the turians.)

The Manswell Expedition is one of the coolest back-stories in ME, I'd love to know more about them. I'm also curious about how human biotics work. Did the government gather them all up to study them, with or without permission?

I'm sure a lot of this is answered in the codex at some point or another, but I still think it would be a great way to introduce people to the ME series while still entertaining old fans.

I never got the idea behind a "Mass Effect movie". It already IS a movie, albeit an interactive one.

It's literally already in movie format, all they'd have to do is clip together the cutscenes and conversations.

And yet you know they'd screw it up horribly, which is the saddest/funniest part.

We already have that.  usually it's just called "trying to be artsy", but other times they are called a "hipster".

But I equate the ending of ME3 and its excuse to like when I'm doodling, and cant get the anatomy right with the pose I chose, so I just say screw it and call it "stylized".

[Phoenix-Warden]

I really hope, the movie won't be about Shepard's story and the Reapers... This is something, that can't be done in a movie.
And of course. I hope the movie will have a better ending, but honestly, if you want an "artistic vision ending whatever blablabla", so it will be okay. Because it's a movie and we have to make no decisions... And don't make promises, you don't keep like in ME3

[Silvair]

Also...I really doubt they'll do this, but I wish they'd make the whole movie CG. Not the idiotic "stylized super simple" CG like Pixar and kids movies and clone wars and green lantern....but high quality CG like Avatar and anything Final Fantasy.

That way we can make things look real good...rather than focus on which famous actors face we have to stare at while they fail to form any type of facial expression.

Well, it's a 100h movie. If you want to watch such a longformat movie with you boy/girlfriend, your boy/girlfriend has to be a gamer, too

They made a total FUBAR of the ending of ME3 so my hopes for a movie aren't high. Also game to movie adaptions (and the other way around too) have a nasty tendancy to faceplant more often than not.

[wicnwitch]

I could see them doing a First Contact war. I'm finally reading Mass Effect Revelation and boy does Anderson kick some major butt. He is seriously cool. If they were to do a Shep version, i'd like them to go femShep. It's been too long since we had a tough chick hero like in Alien. We need that again!

[EvelinShepard]

No.

The whole point of ME is to basically be a PART of a movie, as Shepard, and make your own choices and make Shepard into who you think they are.

If they make Shepard's story into a movie, I will not watch it. I will deny it exists, because it means that they're inadvertently asserting some form of canon.

Now, if it's about a new character in the ME universe, or is a part of a squaddie's history, I will watch it. Take Mordin or Zaeed, or Doc Chakwas for example. Or even make some of the books into movies The First Contact War would be a better choice as well.

But no, no no no to a movie version of ME1, 2 and 3.
