It's not like a movie could do more damage to the series than SuperMac did.

The scaring thing is that SuperMac is allegedly the writer and one of the producers (with Blunderboy Hudson) for the movie.

If you're going by information on IMDB, then the original creator of characters and setting are often cited as writers on the project, when they actually don't have anything to do with it. And it doesn't surprise me that two of the fundamental people in creating the series as a whole---yup, SuperMac and "Blunderboy"---would be cited as producers on the project,whether it's purely name-service or if they're offering some creative input.

Anyway, the last reports about the movie point to newcomer Morgan Davis Foehl as the writer.

Prepare to have your memories of Mass Effect soiled.

Avi Arad, famed for producing pieces of incredible cinema like "Bratz: The Movie" and "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance". All we need now is to have Uwe Boll direct and that's the nail in the coffin.

Why do video games need to have film adaptations? Isn't a video game credible enough to stand on its own, as if games are somehow an inferior medium.

Flog the cash cow.

If you're going to wish for something you might as well dream big.

How about wish it comes out and it's epic and lives up to the games?

And the movie also has producers of The Dark Knight.

I want it to be just like an incredibly terrible fanfiction.
I will love this movie in the worst way if that happens.
By no means do I actually want it though, it's time that could be better spent on this brand new series they're working on.

The only way to get a mass effect movie right it to have it star a differetn character than Shepard, with a different story that might if you like cover the events of the mass effect trilogy.

That way you can make a solid script that holds for the movie and won't get in the way of the fans choices or "options". Keep the setting, timeline and everything else but have it cover the perspectice of other people from the Mass effect universe.

The biggest misstake by the directors shooting game movies is that they are trying to capture in game moments that have already been told in an interactive medium. They need to take a step back and give it new angles, especialy when the setting allows for so much more than a repetition of a story that's already been told.

I hope to god Bioware and EA aren't still milking ME by 2019.

If not, why would we want to see a movie based on a game that's been done and over for a number of years?

EA not milk one of its IP's dry? Never. Apparently Mac is still going to pull 15 more comics out of his ass yet.

I can bet anything EA will have Bioware Montreal do at LEAST second trilogy so yeah, abbsolutely likely it will be going on by 2019, depending on how fast ME4, ME5 and ME6 come out

[Elite Midget]

Sounds like a huge waste of cash. Video Game -> Movies and vice versa almost always bomb hard and get panned by the critics. It doesn't help that the ME brand is still tainted by ME3 and Bioware's name took a double pounding from DA2 too.

[Faust1979]

Why are there so many people against this film? I hope it turns out to be awesome would love to see a Mass Effect film on the big screen and would love for it to be successful

[Elite Midget]

It wont ever meet expectations even if said expectations have dropped a great deal after the ME3 ending.

[Synergizer]

If this 5-6 years time-frame is true, doesn't that tell us that every update from Bioware about this movie has been total BS? How can you comment, imply or infer anything about a movie, which for all intents and purposes is probably nothing more than a working title. (Think of a blank page with all caps and double spaced heading "M A S S E F F E C T : T H E M O V I E").

When there's a will, there's a way, and obviously all parties involved in this project lack the will.
....

or maybe it's more accurate to assume that all the bad press about the ending got the producers scared. I think the movie was supposed to be out 2013/14 but has been put on hold in the hopes that the next games will re-ignite fan support.

Does Mass Effect need a movie? Everyone who has played the games knows the story, we played it our way. At best, a spin-off series.

[Fixers0]

 Why not just let the serries die out  and then in like six to seven years star a new sci-fi serries which is mostly completly new but with a handfull of callbacks to the ME series here and there. 

[AlexMBrennan]

Because calling it Mass Effect will make all the ME fans buy it automatically in addition to whatever commercial success the movie would have had based on its actual merit.

Eh, i think there's a misinterpretation here.

Arad said: "Love the project, it's getting there, it's been a lot of work; some movies take five, six years before they're ready."

It HAS been a lot of work since they announced it 2010. Also: If he says "it's getting there", then it sure won't take another five or six years.

I think you need to count these five or six years from the date they announced it (2010), not from 2013.

Yeah, I mentioned that in this thread. I think few people bothered reading past the title, which was a misinterpretation.

Who cares, we all know it's gonna suck. You have a better chance of seeing a Wonder Woman movie before Mass Effect.

Groundskeeper: Everything would be so much simpler if we all had the same DNA. But no, the universe loves diversity.

Umm yeah, your signature, it looks like we got a supporter of Synthesis in game, the Turian Presidium grounds keeper. I remember that, didn't think of it that way before I read here.

I wonder what EA would do to Bioware if the movie did incredibly badly.
Never considered of it.

[AlexMBrennan]

Throw more money at other projects? You know, like they did after Bioware's WoW clone failed to take over the WoW market with, apparently, a movie?
