Zitat:

A NeoGAF thread on the Mass Effect movie, presumably scheduled for 2012, cites the movie’s producer as describing the plot as follows: “Mankind discovers ancient alien technology that enables faster than light travel. Using stored coordinates, mankind stumbles on a hostile alien race know as the Turians.” What the producer is describing is the first contact war described in both ME and ME2.

The information comes via an IMDbPro page (available only to subscribers), but the story makes sense, and honestly, sounds better than just doing a reinterpretation of the games. There’ll be a lot less for them to “get wrong” if they’re using yet unseen canon.

Also, our own Nicholas Werner notes that because Martin Sheen plays the elusive man in ME2, and the elusive man was part of the contact war, it only makes sense that Charlie Sheen will play that part in the upcoming movie. Such a movie could never fail.
