Talk is cheap when it comes to the much discussed Mass Effect movie, i don't expect it to happen because movies based on games rarely if ever make any headway at the box office, if it ever does happen it'll be a glorified tv movie or something that goes straight to DVD because movie studios these days are getting increasingly risk averse due to spiraling production costs.

Given the track record of video game movies, a Mass Effect movie would probably be just as bad, but it is financially viable.

I don't know why they want to go through that trouble. Mass Effect isn't a linear story game with a set protagonist. Any actor they choose for the role is gonna receive backlash from fans because they don't fit their image of Shepard. Now, if they do a story on the First Contact War, that'd be awesome...

Remember that he's talking about the movie in relation to a book that he was planning to write to set up a movie. Why would he need to do that if it's going to be an adaptation of the game story? That pretty much confirms that it's going to be an original story set within the universe.

Mass Effect movie won't be popular in china (if it's approved) and a niche sci-fi franchise is a big risk.

We'll see how the Assassin's Creed movie pans out. If it turns out good, the ME movie project might gain some steam.

Yeah it could possibly work much better on tv, either Animated or Live action. And with a series, it'd allow them to flesh out their characters more, which I think is more important than "the spectacle" as far as ME's concerned. (So long as Shepard's a Vanguard, that's really what's important here... )

Please, I'm still waiting for the rewrite of Deception that William C. Dietz ruined. I doubt we'll see a movie.

Mass Effect is better suited for long run sit-com, rather than a movie.
But the cost of making this... insane even for today's standards.
Maybe in the far future?

Much like Star Trek, a proper Mass Effect adaptation wouldn't do very well with average viewers, but a CGI action-fest? That'll turn a decent profit. The recent Trek movies certainly have.

After all, the fourth novel in this current series would've set up the movie. It's an interesting idea, but one that's clearly on the back-burner, once more. felipejiraya mentioned the Assassin's Creed film. I am curious to see how that one fares. It seems to have potential that all others have lacked. Maybe it can break the mold set by previous game films?

When we heard that I was baffled. "Mac writing a novel? Can he really do that?" I guess not (but maybe he can...?) I think at this point I'd know my own talent if I were in his place. Can he do it or not? He should've just refused the offer to make a tie-in novel if he's not comfortable writing that much text.

They really, really should've used some of the same composers or similar themes from the games. Even people who don't like the games will acknowledge that AC has beautiful, well done soundtracks. The themes, in particular, are individually iconic.

The themes, in particular, are individually iconic. you know I have never heard the music... For your consideration: Each game receives an era appropriate soundtrack, including a beautiful theme. Here's the AC2 theme. This game was set in Renaissance Italy, from 1372-1407. This piece is a beautiful piece for any standard, let alone VG music. And here's AC Rogue, set over 400 years later, during the 7 Years War in N. America, 1752-1763 (game years). You can hear the same heart, but the differences influenced by era and culture. Keeping with this theme, the movie could've had a theme appropriate to 15C Spain. Instead, we get modern music. Even after ditching Kanye West, the music has still been uninspiring.
