It also needs to be watchable and able to be enjoyed by people who have never played the game/read the books as well, or it's doomed before it even begins.
And leave out the superstar actors as well. PLEASE.

I'm sorry to say, but they are going to repeat history again. In a similar vein to Squaresoft at the time.
I have low expectation with this, maybe it's just my cynical point of view with game to movie adaptation. It certainly it didn't helped that two years before in my course we have a whole session on deconstructing on game to movie flops and had a presentation on why it didn't work.
Also if they are going to make a movie, I want them to leave Shepard out altogether. Pigeon hole Shepard in certain pathways, gender, etc, etc; is just begging to piss off die hard ME fans. I prefer an interesting take on the first contact wars. No offence.

The Morning War would be just as good as 314, maybe even better. And... we'd get to see quarian faces!

Agree. The morning War is just as awesome as a movie concept.

As long as Uwe Boll has nothing to do with it, it won't be a total loss. >_>

True, I'll give BioWare credit for NOT picking Uwe Boll in charge of the adaptation.

;D
I was wanting Uwe Boll to direct this from the word go. Kristanna Loken as Shepard. Ben Kingsley as Saren. Meatloaf as Wrex.
Make that movie, Uwe.

Meatloaf as Wrex? Hmmm... Oh I can see it. " Like a bat of Hell I 'll be gone when Virmire blows up!!" Or maybe " I'll do anything to kill Saren...But I won't do that" *Puts on flameproof suit and waits*

In a way Uwe Boll would be good from the standpoint that I would know not to watch even a second of the movie. Thing is, I don't think anyone is throwing money at him any more.

I'm completely serious, ommadawn! I'm also thinking he could get Clint Howard to play the volus.
JK - I hope you're right. I kind of love to hate his movies, but I'd love to see him stop even more.

I made myself look it up. He still has more projects coming down the pipe, so someone is giving him money. Nothing ME related though. I don't get it, there are far more entertaining ways to squander millions of dollars than to give him money. I'm thinking big party for your favorite city and open bar for everyone

If this is serious, then we can explore casting even more. Hey, at least he can save $$ by hiring prostitutes to play all the asari dancers! ^_^
