If it goes for three hours, then they could fit all that in, maybe squeeze in Noveria, which is kind of essential if they're going to do a sequel, though it will have to be severely shortened, probably starting off at Peak 15. I think it could work, but there's a lot that could go wrong so if it does get made we'll just have to see what happens. I'm going to remain sceptical until it is either A) Done or B) Cancelled.Fappy said:
Didn't they already do this in ME3? I remember a big kerfuffle over it because the image was just a free photo from a website that was Photoshoped.CmRet said:
You can also see maskless quarians in the EC ending of ME3 if you fulfill certain conditions.Ed130 said:
On the bright side, at least with Tali they might get the original voice actress. On the down side...fuck that, they'll go for star power, the corporate whores.Loop Stricken said:... based on the first game, you say?
... a movie Tali, you say?
Well, unless there's a gratuitous ass shot during a very long elevator ride, it just won't match my playthrough.
Oh yeah, that's the stuff.
I'm not so sure about that. I mean time constraints all but require that Shepherd focus nigh-exclusively on the mission itself, which makes it that much harder to introduce the audience to the universe in question and its quirks. And the bare minimum with that is to 1) Introduce the Mass Relays, 2) Describe humanity's rapid expansion, 3) Describe the significance of Eden Prime, 4) go into the First Contact War, 5) Introduce the council races, 5) Introduce the concept of the Keepers, 6) Introduce the concept of the Spectres, 7) Introduce the Quarians and their conflict with the Geth...and that's just to make the audience connect with what's happening with Eden Prime. Then as follow-up the audience needs to know about the Rachni, the Krogans, the Rachni War, Krogan Rebellion and Genophage for the discovery on Noveria to make any sense, to say nothing of giving depth to Wrex's character...there's just so much they have to go into that I can't see ME1 working as a single movie without butchering the lore and making a mockery of the concept of pacing in the process. I could maybe see it as a series, but a feature film? Honestly, I'd expect a well-paced Mass Effect movie to end just after Shepherd gave his little "let's get Saren" speech to the crew after he became a Spectre and then cover the rest of the first game in sequels to the film. But maybe that's just me.Raven said:
Why would people who never touched a Transformers toy in their life trample each other to get a chance to see Michael Bay's movies?MelasZepheos said:
There is a lot of detail yes but other film adaptations have handled lore of that magnitude in the past and still been great films for anyone who was unfamiliar with the source material. Case in point being the Lord of the ring trilogy. Most of the stuff about Mass Relays, krogan rebellions, genophage, council races etc can be done in a 5-8 min prologue. Other details like Humanity joining the intragalactic community, spectres and side missions can be done in exposition scenes, dialogue, monologue and even in a montage.Asita said:
Matthew Fox (Lost) would personjally be my choice of Shepard.IndomitableSam said:
That's the beef I have with the idea; there already is an almost full (voice) cast AND there are already some faces attached to the characters... There's no way somebody who's spent next to four hundred hours listening to and looking at the characters won't be shifting in his seat uneasily throughout the full movie.IndomitableSam said:
Oh god, no. I can't see Matthew Fox without hating his guts anymore. Not since LOST.endtherapture said:
