I'm really torn about it. What direction do you think they should take with this movie? Should it be about Shepard and the Reapers? Shepard on another adventure? Or leave Shepard out entirely and go for a new story in the same universe? I'm sort of leaning towards going at it from a whole new angle and leave shepard out of it... I'm just too worried they will flop what should be an incredibly epic sci-fi flick by trying to hard to be like the game. Thoughts? This post was edited on 12/7 at 12:34 pm

The movie will probably be terrible. Pretty much every video game to movie adaptation is. This post was edited on 12/7 at 12:42 pm

Pretty much every video game to movie adaptation is. It depends on how serious Legendary Pictures is about it. To me the universe has one of the more interesting stories to come out of sci-fi in a while. Edit: Not the reaper story, more so the story of how we advanced our technology by finding protheans and our interactions with the more mature species. This post was edited on 12/7 at 12:48 pm

I could see that working.

But I hope Christopher Nolan expresses interest in directing. (Legendary Pictures has done most of Nolan's movies)

I'm aftraid that instead it will be some dickhole like Michael Bay I just started my 3rd full playthrough of all three games. I love this damn game up until the last 15 minutes of the 3rd one.

It is doomed to failure if they model it after the games.

We shall never forget his sacrifice. If only we had heeded his warning... This post was edited on 12/7 at 1:30 pm
