James Cameron direct

Give Michael Bay some explosives and tell him to go have fun

Neill Blomkamp. If one would need any reassuring why, just watch District 9. Tho he has Elysium in making so there goes that choice...

[moneycashgeorge]

Some of these suggestions are just ridiculous.

Michael Bay? Come on, he's just about the worst director on the planet. I never thought I'd see "huge amounts of explosions" as an actual argument for a director. If that is a key aspect of the film, its doomed before it begins.

George Lucas? Also a horrible director, whose work (excluding A New Hope) is all laughably bad. Not that he would ever direct a (far superior) IP that could compete with his precious golden goose, Star Wars.

James Cameron? Since any Mass Effect movie will (hopefully) be more complex and intelligent than a children's book, he's not a great choice. He's also on the road to being extroardinarilly rich (maybe even richer than his fellow hack George Lucas) with the Avatar franchise he is currently building. He's not interested in any blue aliens that might take away from the blue aliens hes already trying to sell at Toys R' Us.

Joss Whedon would be a very good choice, but unless he either completely screws up The Avengers or nobly walks away from the massive paychecks that franchise will earn him, he's going to be busy for a while. MAYBE he could do Mass Effect inbetween Avengers 1 and 2.

I'm undecided on Zach Snyder. He has a knack for adaptation, but has so far failed at characterization.He's too broad and over-dramatic to do nuance. Sucker Punch was a disaster, and Watchmen was a hollow adaptation. Superman will make or break him, either way he won't be available for Mass Effect.

Nolan is a great choice, but hes probably a great choice for anything. Nolan/Mass Effect would be a dream come true, but I don't think ME really plays to Nolan's strengths. I do expect a Nolan Sci-Fi, but he's probably going to do something less operatic and more psychological.

The likely choices are;
1. Duncan Jones- Acclaimed up and coming sci-fi director who can work a budget and is familiar to video games. A smart, reasonable choice that both the director and studio would be happy with.
2. Neil Bloomkamp- In a similar posistion to Jones, see above. Even began development on a somewhat similar video game project, Halo.
3. Darren Aronofsky. A renowned director who is looking for a big budget opportunity, based on his previous attachment to Wolverine. The perfect blend of artistry and style, and is already well known to many for Requiem and Black Swan.

Not just any explosions my friend. The BIGGEST explosions ever done in any film ever. Now if only he had gotten rid of Megan Fox and the writers hadn't gone on strike and Transformers: ROTF might not have sucked so many balls in the story department.

My vote goes to Guillermo del Toro... I know it won't happen, alas, but here is why I think it should be him:

1 - He is a H.P Lovecraft enthusiast, and the Reapers are very Lovecraftian monsters (incomprehensible evil residing in dark space)
2 - He is a visionary director - someone who has the potential to make an unforgettable movie (Pan's Labyrinth)
3 - He loves video games (is currently writing his own), and considers them an artform equal to cinema

To top it off, Guillermo will even be sitting at the same table as Casey Hudson at ComicCon Mass Effect movie reveal... Damn! So close yet so far...

Christopher Nolan or Ridley Scott. Why? Because they are the best directors ever

Other than JJ Abrams, no one.

[Fhaileas]

Only Uwe Boll could be worthy of this honor.

Anyone but Uwe Boll, that guy single handedly made it so video game movie translations are horrible. His movie based on video games are so bad he should just punch himself in the face until he actually get a good idea. For those of you who do not know who he is or what video game movies he made I'll give you a list:

House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Alone in the Dark II, BloodRayne, BloodRayne II: Deliverance, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Postal and Far Cry

Please for the love of all that is holy and good in the world Bioware do not let this guy step foot in your building or even try to pitch his ideas to you. If people got something for failing at what they do, this man would have more medals on his chest than a war hero.

[Dangerfoot]

Christopher Nolan isn't that great with focused action and his movies are kind of sterile and sexless. I like his stuff, but those are two things a Mass Effect movie might need.

Also, Michael Bay is just terrible. No.

Michael Bay is a director for DreamWorks and Paramount. I doubt he would take a director job for Legendary Films. It doesn't coencide with his past.

Of course, things can change. :innocent:

[squee365]

Coen Brothers.

Ang Lee? David Fincher?

Although Fincher may have issues returning to sci fi after the hell on earth that was Alien 3's shoot,

I really wonder how many of these Bays, Nolans and Camerons are meant to be sarcasm, as opposed to serious entries.

Got a feeling that knowing the actual ratio might upset me...

[Fredvdp]

A lot of people just name directors whose movies they like but often they're not right for the job. Nolan made some great movies, like The Prestige, but I don't think he's the best man for the job. The Coen brothers made The Big Lebowski, one of the best comedies I've ever seen, but their style is definitely not suited for a Mass Effect movie. George Lucas only directs his own creations as he did with Star Wars and THX. He's better at technical innovation (like Edit Droid) than at directing anyway.

Also, BioWare once said they won't let Uwe Boll anywhere near this project.

[P912]

Neil Blomkamp. District 9 was amazing, one of the few movies that has a balance of theme, characters and action.

[this isnt my name]

Uwe Boll or Michael Bay. Only they can do the story justice, especially Michael "so how do we beat the reapers" *que stupid battle with lots of explosions and plot armour for shep*

[Ozzyfan223]

I think capturing an entire new world and showing it to movie goers is a tough challenge. One that James Cameron and George Lucas do perfectly. Avatar was a simpler story, sure, but it drew audiences in with such a natural feel that the world became real. George Lucas's films have been great (except for 'Phantom Menace' and 'Attack of the Clones') I think if you look at a director and say that he only has 2 bad movies then he's in pretty good shape. As long as someone else writes it (along with having the story already set in place) I think Lucas is a really good choice.

Ridley Scott isn't bad, but he wouldn't do it, and  I don't have enough faith in him when it comes to a grand science fiction universe. I do also like JJ Abrams, he would do a good job I think.

Abrams (loved what he did with Star Trek) or Blomkamp (see District 9)

Yeah... I just recently watched Serenity. ;P

Ok this I can get behind.  I'm a Whedonite in the biggest way.  
Being big into female empowerment that he is he might chose to use Femshep so thats a win there lol.
I'd actually give it a chance if he were to be involved but even then I don't hold much hope.
