Mass Effect Movie will be a New Story

If you were expecting the Mass Effect movie to be part of the game canon or even a adaptation of the games, you are going to be disappointed. Contradicting earlier statements, Legendary Entertainment has revealed on their blog that the Mass Effect film will not be an adaptation of the games. It will be a completely new story that focuses on Shepard.

There are two kinds of people. Those that wanted the film to be an adaptation of the games, and those that wanted the film to be a part of the game canon, but of a new story without Shepard. Neither groups will be happy with the film. Now, the best we can hope is that the movie adaptation will at least use the same themes of the games.
