It doesn't need to be about Shepard! Why not a cg movie about the First Contact War/ Krogan Rebellions/ Rachni Wars? They would not need to care about consequences because all these events happened before ME1.
dude it's boring! Shepard is Mass Effect. without him it's just gonna be usually galactic story.
Yeah, people aren't going to pay money to see that.
Anyways, I don't much care for what details of the story are canon or non-canon, as long as you're provided with adequate choices and consequences during the game. All of the arguments after KotOR came out about whether Revan was male or female were infuriatingly retarded. I don't particularly care if they make a Mass Effect movie with a man or woman as Shepard, or whether Shepard is Renegade or Paragon, as long as it's done well. The casting needs to be done properly, so this if they cast a woman as Shepard, it better be someone who can believably pull off a tough woman - this means NO ANGELINA JOLIE. I simply cannot buy a mousy, emaciated woman with no air of authority or power getting Action Girl roles like she does. It's really absurd.
Really, I see no reason why it can't be done. Novels have become great movies, comic books have become great movies, why can't video games? Mass Effect could make for an awesome sci-fi action movie like Terminator or Aliens if done right.
