Actually, someone's already acquired the rights to a ME movie.

Willem Dafoe as Thane.



Samuel L. Jackson as Jacob.

rights to movies are bought quite often but that doesn't mean it gets turned into a movie.  Its like real-estate business, you can buy but someone has to be interested in moving in.  Same goes with buying rights to movies, I will believe it to be made when someone is willing to make the movie.

Don't do a Mass Effect movie. It would be horrible; video game movies are always horrible - everything from Super Mario Brothers to Doom has been a critical and commercial flop.

If ME must be brought to other media, talk with an animation studio about doing a series. It will be both cheaper and allow for more story (20 hours of material as opposed to 3), including flashbacks of events not featured in the games themselves, expansions on existing storylines, and a lot of the in-game dialogue (and the same voice actors) could be reused and expanded upon.  There could also be direct-to-DVD movies based on the ME novels, too.

EA has already partnered with Film Roman and Manga Entertainment (divisions of Starz) to do animated direct-to-DVD movies based on Dead Space and Dante's Inferno, but I would like to see EA talk with one of the Japanese anime studios about doing a full series too. (I have wonderful visions of what Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell, Guardian of the Spirit) could do with the ME Universe...)

Ugh, please dear God, no.  I personally cannot STAND manga or anime.

And I think it's absolutely possible to make a decent Mass Effect movie.  Games are an awesome medium to draw from, they just need a large budget, a talented director, and a well-picked and dedicated cast.  Game movies have so much potential, they just haven't yet reached it.  The examples you guys keep choosing are low-budget movies that often only barely draw from their source material.  Like Super Mario Bors:

Has anyone suggested Matthew Fox for Shepard? Despite the sillyness of him also playing Jack Shephard from Lost (hey, at least the spelling is different), the guy looks almost EXACTLY like the std. male Shepard for ME.

What are the odds of getting those with today's economy, with today's Hollywood Studios?  At best, you get Avatar, a special effects extravaganza with a weak story.  At worst, you get everything ever done by Michael Bay.  And from the folks at AMC.tv (who know movies):

Anthony Burch:

No one wants to spend 40 hours in a theater

BioWare project director Casey Hudson recently mentioned that Hollywood
was interested in making a movie out of their scifi epic Mass
Effect. The only problem? Mass Effect is a 40-hour
game. Open-ended RPGs allow us to explore worlds, to screw around, to do
optional tasks that have nothing to do with the main storyline. It's
what makes those games so immersive and enjoyable. But replicating that
immersiveness on-screen in any sort of short order is downright
impossible. Could you tell Mass Effect's story in two hours?
Sure, but doing so strips the game of its strengths and leaves you,
well, unsatisfied. Which is about par for the course for video game
movies.

John Scalzi (who is also a Hugo-award winning SF author and creative consultant on Stargate: Universe):

If you've ever watched a video game-based movie, you get the sense that
quality isn't actually on the filmmakers' minds, even when the thing
isn't supposed to be a slapdash B-movie funded by German dentists. I
have a strong suspicion that in the mind of Hollywood, the average video
game player is sixteen years old, has a double digit IQ, and is only
really interested in explosions, blood and pneumatic women -- so things
like plot, characterization and story are seen as optional.

I would add that Hollywood has simply had their way with too many good franchises for me to trust them with Mass Effect.  Animation studios, both in North America and Japan, are able to produce better quality product for a much cheaper price because they do not have to deal with Hollywood's overhead and prima donna culture.

If there must be a live-action Mass Effect, at least get HBO, Showtime, or SyFy to spring for a limited miniseries a la Band of Brothers or The Lost Room, rather than shoehorning 60 hours of gameplay into three hours of film produced by a bunch of box-office-worshipping sycophants who, let's be honest, don't give a fig about good storytelling.

I'd be down with a miniseries, but I still believe it would be possible to make a good Mass Effect movie.

the only thing that came close to being similar to mass effect was farscape imo..... im all for a mass effect movie but i would say start a animated cartoon series first and go from there

[gotthammer]

Yeah. I was laughing when I was watching Farscape recently while my bro was playing ME2, some similarities are fun.

(but the main plot/character dev. of ME is a far cry from Farscape, IMHO. That and Farscape is both more fun, and more nuts )



Honestly, since they've already done pre-rendered CG and all that, I'd rather they take that route (and use the existing voice actors/actresses).

I'm not too keen on the 'cartoon' idea. (not that I'm against cartoons/anime, but they already did that rather nice CGI stuff. Same goes for Dragon Age)

[exskeeny]

i would love to see mass effect the movie cast from the british soap eastenders.

farscapse a amazing show btw... or maybe star a mass effect live tv show and see how that can work before doing a movie

[Blessed Silence]

So it has to be a MALE Shepard?



Or is everyone thinking it has to because of the default?



I don't care either way, I played my first time through with default male.

Nobody would believe that a woman saved the universe. That's ridiculous. You're ridiculous.

A miniseries would really be the rest route. or a halo legends kind of deal but not using f*****g anime and actually good with biware oversight.

[Rejoy Skinler]

I've got the perfect cast for a SyFy miniseries



Sheppard: Ben Browder

Ashley: Claudia Black

Liara: Virginia Hey

Joker: Seth Green

Miranda: Yvonne Strahovski

Wrex: Michael Dorn

XO Pressly: Michael Hogan

The Illusive Man: Charly Sheen

I think this might be the main problem with a Mass Effect film - every player has his/her vision of what Shepard is and how he/she looks and acts. But, by making a film Shepard as depicted will be canon. One Shepard might be a white male who is chronically good. Another one's Shepard might be a black female b!tch. Neither is better or more right, but they are both canon for their respective player. A film depicting a Shepard who would not fit into either of these two visions would be a failure from the players point of view: 'Shepard would never do that!'; 'why is Shepard white/black/asian? That is SO wrong!' and so on and so forth.

I wouldn't mind a film based on the game universe, but I would probably not watch a film about commander Shepard.

And as it has already been pointed out, films based on games have atendency to suck. And I doubt a Mass Effect film would be an exception.

[Minister of Sound]

Dominic Armato for Commander Shepard is all that is needed.
