The movie will be pretty bad, and could kill any future games.

Especially if they cast Sam "charisma vacuum" Worthington as Shepherd.

[Xamufam]

No plz

I would really prefer the whole thing just went in the trash.

Yep.

I'm thinking it'll die a slow death since the ending debacle, or it'll be produced on the cheap as a B movie to try and make a last grab at some money. I'd rather it just die, this could be doom level embarrassing.

I've already done the math on this. Its pretty much imposisble to make Mass Effect a movie.

Why? The sould of Mass Effect is the choices you make and the characters that appear and speak with you.

In Mass Effect 1, You're going to alienate part of your audience on the Virmire Survival, let alone the LI or any other choice in the game. A movie also canonizes events from the game, something that should never happen in an RPG, at all.

Moving on to Mass Effect 2, You're never going to get the characters properly written. At all. Its impossible.

Lets say we have a two hour film for Mass Effect 2. We'll set aside 30 mins for the Lazerus Project and Suicide Mission. That leaves us an hour and 30 mins or 90 mins to introduce and characterize 15 characters. Doing the math, we have 7.5 mins to do so. Obviously, that's not enough time at all.

So, Hey, Two part movies are popular now days, right? Lets bump ME2 up to being a four hour movie. We have 4 hours (240 mins) instead of 2 hours (120 mins). We'll subtract 45 mins for the Suicide Mission and Project Lazerus. Doing the math for our 15 characters, we end up with about 16 mins to introduce and develop each of them. Its not possible to do what needs to be done in 16 mins.

On top of that, You have the issues of choice, once again. You're going to alienate people on their choices and LI and ete.

Moving on to Mass Effect 3, You run into the issues of ME3's plot. Following the game to a T is not a good idea because of the mess the plot actually is and you're going to reopen old wounds with the endings, espicially if they go with Synthesis or something.

But, on the other hand, writing a new version of the ME3 plot could be....worse.

Over all, Its just simply a bad idea in all ways.

Agreed...the only way I could see ME2 working is if they removed charcters. Honestly, narrowing the squad down from 12 to 7-8 would be for the best. If i was the one to make the decison as to who to keep due to importance in the previous instalment and in ME3, the crew would be (Garrus, Tali, Mordin, Thane, Legion, Miranda, Jack, Grunt)


In the two hour movie senario, that gives 20 min per squadmate, plus 35 min to use on other characters  and events. Sadly, certain squadmates would probably get less screen time in favor of those who will play a bigger role in ME3 (IE, Garrus, Tali, Mordin, and Legion), probably getting 25-30min each when the others only get 10-15min.

karl urban... wow, i forgot about that guy. YES, he would fit. i've always imagined who could play kaidan for the movie. now i think i'm gonna do another playthrough and romance him again

[jokey javik]

Quintin terentino as director and writer just leaving it out there.

I'd go for Ridley Scott, Prometheus may not have been everything it should have been, but it did capture that sort of epic grandeur you'd want in a ME1 movie what with seeing the Citadel, Sovereign, etc..

But I feel that's mainly due to him trying to "separate" it from the Alien universe.

My only fear is that the movie will be made in a way that spits on the games.

[Fredvdp]

Here's my prediction:

The script is complete. That means a producer will read it, reject it, and hire a new screenwriter for a new draft. That draft will also be rejected and the producer will go back to the original screenplay before accepting a third draft that throws away most of the good ideas. Commander Shepard will be played by Chris Hemsworth, who will also be the only famous actor. The rest of the cast will be TV stars.

I'm actually looking foward to this movie. There's a good chance it will suck, but the games will not be affected by the succes or failure of the movie.

Live action movie is a big mistake.  The cast choices and special effects will never be able to satisfy the majority of ME fans, a good many of whom are already pissed these days and not shy about voicing it.  Without the widespread support of the fans of the games, the movie will drop through, no matter how good it is.  Look at Serenity. 

On the other hand, they could have some success with a CGI/motion capture movie, a la Pandora.  People seem to be ready for more of that, as long as the story can truely deliver and catch enough attention.  It would also allow everybody to keep the voices we are used to, and the visuals we are used to. 

If they can make it look as good as Pandora, yet keep the Mass Effect storytelling (sans starchildren, ok?) then I believe they can win.  Otherwise, you are looking at something DOA.

Only if it has a good director and Guy Pierce is Shepard.

Blade Runner is on SyFy today, if you love sci fi and have never seen this movie watch it. Ridley Scott directed science fiction is amazing. The only alternative director is James Cameron of course.

[Omni-Science2]

Live-action will depend on how much money they can pour into making it look good.
That requires skill. The Last Airbender had a large budget, but it still really sucked visually.

CGI seems pretty awesome actually. If they had all the appropriate people face-modeling and voice acting.

Also don't lie. You as a fan would prefer if the VA's did the movie characters (for CGI). That's the only way fans would be 100% happy and the only way to the characters justice, IMO.

I see no proof that the script is finished. Your word sucks, post links to prove yourself or you're lying.
