Legendary Pictures to make 'Mass Effect' film

I like this guy Mark Protosevich quite a talent. I just hope for the life of us "Legendary Pictures" don't make an a*se of this movie. just make this flick right. i'm sure they will hopefully.

Just don't let Uwe Boll near it.

Video games don't translate well to movies, or vice-versa...these publishers need to realize that video game plots are designed to be interactive, and get most of their entertainment value from the interaction...while movies (and books) are designed to be enjoyable without interaction.

The only way to get around this rule is to put your heroin in a little wet torn dress, and spend 3/4 of the movie on low shots of her butt...and that works with any terrible plot, regardless of source. Oh, and hide a shot of her muff somewhere on the BluRay to drive sales.

I dunno this has potential, the story is great ideal for a film, however alot about the game is being able to decide most things, so it would be intresting to see which path Shepard takes, maybe just few renagade and a few pathogen... who knows, but people shouldn't count a film as not worth seeing when it's not even started to be made yet

Let me guess, they're looking at Sam Worthington as the lead. He's cast in every other summer blockbuster anyway.

I never get excited about movies based on video games or vice versa. The end product is always something of a disappoint.

the Rock or Bruce. i can see this turning into a doom

IDK...I always thought he looked like Vin Diesel...you know...the facial features move, but any emotion is misplaced and overused...just like watching Vin Diesel in a movie.

Oh, there is one good video game movie, Postal...but only because it is intended to be a comedy. If you played the game, you have to see the movie. If you have not played the game, you will still be laughing by the time the opening credits roll.

I live in hope that it will be as epic as the games.

Probably the best video game movie I can remember seeing was the Silent Hill movie. The Resident Evil movies were at least watchable.

Man...I can't even defend the Uwe Boll movies if his work is all like Alone in the Dark...
