Hollywood Interested in Mass Effect Movie

If I got a pound every time someone wonder if this was going to be the "first truly excellent game movie" I'd probably have...well, a few pounds.
But yeh, regardless of whether there would be a Mass Effect movie and whether it would be any good or not, it's not something I'd have any desire to see. Not everything has to be made into a movie, surely?

Yes, it is commen knowledge. So I don't need a movie to tell me that. And I was more refering to the black and white idea of, the military being incapable of anything good because they're Americans who have guns, and the natives being incapable of anything evil because they live intouch with nature.Noelveiga said:
I never said that.
And I agree that they could make a good movie about Drake & co if they made a completely new adventure. But that again would screw up any story line that Naughty Dog would want to make for any new game they'd be working on.
I really don't think it will make the transition too well. Like with most video games, the story is too episodic in nature for a movie.
God what a terrible idea. The thing that makes Mass Effect so damn fun is it's adaptability to each player. I have absolutely no desire to see some movie forces Shepard into one generic paragon male role that has nearly nothing in common with most people's gameplay experience. It's bad enough that we're stuck watching that guy in all the Mass Effect 2 trailers and promos, no way in hell I'd go see a movie about him.
I can't imagine a better way to alienate your audience than to makes everyone's gameplay experience seem irrelevant and non-cannon. PLEASE BioWare, don't sell out Shepard!

this game was made like a movie so the script of the movie would be an easier thing to do obviously!
ps: i hope it won't crash and burn like most adaptations did...

The Media:
Hey guys!
Lets make a video game that is basically Star Wars with guns!
And then, lets make a movie about the game!
WE ARE FUCKING GENIUSES, AM I RIGHT?!?!?
Everyone with a brain:
... Someone go fetch the rifle.

I could see this happening actually. Cover the Contact War - Humanity discovers the Prothean artifact, the war with the turians, blasty blastyness for all. That way you neatly introduce the franchise, and avoid the plot of the games.
hmmmmm something with a great plot, made into something that requires a plot. sounds like a good idea to me
Hollywood saw the success of Avatar and thought "Hey, what was that game with the sexy blue alien chick you saw half naked? Lets make a movie out of it."
theres a possiblity it could be good, but we'll just have to wait and see
(if it ever goes into production in the first place)

Oh dear. I must see into their souls and find the truth.
But really, it could just go mediocre, since there's a good bunch of people that've never heard or seen of mass effect, and expect it to be some new movie that they havn't seen yet.
