Mass Effect (film)

What they possibly do is try not to think of it as video game adaption, but think of it as a project for another sci-fi movie. The games themselves produce enough material to actually push for a great movie. I know that movies that werre adapted from video games dont have the best track record for making great movies, but I can actually name some movies that were actually pretty good:

Resident Evil/Resident Evil: Apocolyspe
Silent Hill
Mortal Kombat

To me it would depend on the director(s), actors and producer(s) and screenwriters on how they are going to go about doing this movie.

I love that Resident Evil followed someone other than Chris Redfield. I've never been a fan... But Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory... Whew!

-Ahem- But yes, they were good films. And as was Silent Hill. The strong female lead seems to be a favourite... (hint hint, Mass Effect movie producers)

Oh also, Indy, did you know they made a Mortal Kombat TV series? I've got two seasons of it... Quite dreadful, but so good at the same time. 80's-90's animation ftw. 

I wonder who they can get to be a director for this movie.

As far as the Prince of Persia movie goes, I thought it was alright, not fantastic or anything but an ok movie, and a decent video game movie at that.

Who could direct this? I'm not sure, considering its a space epic possibly Ridley Scott or James Cameron might not be a bad choice of course there is always Christopher Nolan or Peter Jackson. 

George Lucas anyone? lol

Your right, some of the effects from Fifth Element could be rather corny, but I am not saying they should just copy Fifth Element completely, all they could do is just borrow certain ideas from it.

Actually I was thinking that Mass Effect seems a lot more like Star Trek than Star Wars.

What about Danny Boyle? 
He directed Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and that new one starring James Franco, 127 Hours.

Michael Bay may not work out as a director. I just want a really great director, with a great cast.

Best director for the Mass Effect movie: Uwe Boll!

!!!I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH - THAT WAS A JOKE!!!

I hope so, I haven't seen a single good film by him. Given that I forced myself to sit through the first bloodrayne film by him and I turned off Alone in the Dark after about 8 minutes cause it was horrible.

Some people may not like this but what about Paul W.S. Anderson. He's done or been apart of film adaptations for Resident Evil, Mortal Combat, and Dead or Alive; plus he's had sci-fi experience with Alien vs Predator and Pandorum. Also, did Death Race remake, that had decent action. Currently making the fifth Resident Evil film and his most recent film The Three Musketeers hits theaters next friday. I think he might work. 

What about J.J. Abraham, the guy who did the 2009 Star Trek movie, he seems like he could do a good Mass Effect movie.

I thought he did a really great job with the 2009 Star Trek movie.

I don't think RE took that long, the first game was 96, mainstream success with RE2 in 98, and the first movie was released in 02. Plus RE kinda set a game standard for survival horror with the first and another standard with RE4 but I digress.

Mass Effect was 07 so depending on how you compare it to RE we should see a Mass Effect film between 13 and 15, if it has either a 6 or 8 year gap like RE that is.
