I am very pleased this morning to announce that there will be a Mass Effect movie made by the fine folks at Legenday Pictures! I know there has been a lot of speculation amongst our fans ever since Mass Effect 1 came out as to whether or not there would be a movie, who should star in it, who would direct, would there be a Wrex sized bucket of popcorn, etc and I can now reveal that, yes, there will be a movie (popcorn deal is still unconfirmed.Legendary Pictures, the studio behind great films such as The Dark Knight, Watchmen, The Hangover and 300 have picked up the rights to make Mass Effect. Legendary Pictures will produce with Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni along with Avi Arad (who has been behind great films like Iron Man, X-Men and Spider-Man). From BioWare Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuck and Casey Hudson will serve as executive producers.
"At BioWare, we’ve always thought of Mass Effect as having the depth, emotion and plot twists perfectly suited for an adaptation to a motion picture,” said Casey Hudson, executive producer of the Mass Effect series. “With Avi Arad and Legendary attached, we believe that the Mass Effect movie will be an extraordinary entertainment event that realizes our vision for the franchise and thrills fans.”
I am super psyched for this and look forward to seeing the Mass Effect movie take shape.
Is it too early to buy tickets?
Discuss.

I hope that this is gonna be sequel or prequel of the game because there is no point in showing your actions from the game you played in 2 or 3 hours...

Finally it's confirmed.
There were speculations of this even before the first game was out but no officials ever talked about it.
Well, I'm psyched, lets just hope they make it a good movie, hopefully a good trilogy.

Booo! Indeed.
Let's hope for someone fitting for the role, hopefully not that butt-ugly guy who's face Shepard's face is modeled from.

Shepard will be played by Vin DieselFucking retarded. Now, Vin Diesel voicing Wrex might just be ok. If he sounded anything like he did from Pitch Black or Chronicles of Riddick, it would turn out awesome.

Vin Diesel would suit his wooden voice acting...
Are we sure this isn't just a massive troll? I don't really want it to happen anyway because it can be nothing but a disappointment, like every other video game movie (and the tide hardly seems to be turning - cite Prince of Persia), but seriously? There have been scripts made for Bioshock, Shadow of the Colossus...Length and content would also worry me, and I can't see Martin Sheen reprising his role in a video game film sequel.

But we'll see what happens, I'm very skeptical about the entire thing since movies based on games usually ends up as crap, but Mass Effect is a very cinematic game so I guess it would be possible to make.
As for the cast, I can't even imagine who they'll use for some of the characters.
Still, I really, really hope that this movie turns out good.

Hmmm...like I say though, there have been scripts made for big name games in the past, just directors have been problematic. And yeah, I share those concerns, though the main problem I'd cite is the amount of content they can include from a 50 hour game. How many times have books been decimated in film conversions, for instance?
As for the cast, I can't even imagine who they'll use for some of the characters.
