I say Liara as Love interest for one reason only

She saves and goes outta her way to recapture Sheppard and hands him over to Cerberus inbetween ME1 and 2

That seems like alot of stuff to do if not the one true love

It seems like a good suggestion, though the fans will probably be arguing a lot on who's shepard romance would be.  I

I thought about it for a while and I want the Mass Effect Movie to focus on;

Capt Anderson and Saron. Remember they had that whole back story in the games, they could make a great movie out of that.

I really don't want the movie to focus on Shepard, as thats what we have the game trilogy for.  Maybe even at the end have them looking for someone and one of the last lines you see a file with "Shepard" on it.

Just a note...but the name Shepard is NOT a hispanic or asian name.



The game (like all computer games) is primarily played by guys so it is unlikely to have a fem Shep - more money to be made with the male lead. JUST CHOOSE A GOOD ACTOR and NOT a pretty boy or muscle head.



And just to be safe...don't whip out the movie fast and make it another Doom fiasco...at least not until well AFTER ME3 is out. Don't ruin the game for us by polluting it with a Doom image or Tomb Raider image etc.

[akku95]

one thing bothers me alot of this "movie" thing... werent this game supposen to be all about choises? personalitys?

Like how are they gonna make movie of that.

Or it could be something thats not part of the game...



ill just wait and see.

The problem is managing the time limit of the movie, and most importantly who the cast of the Mass Effect movie will be.

[TheGreenLion]

The movie could be good or bad, but it will definitely be different from what we gamers saw playing ME1&2. Can't please everyone, but maybe they'll do a good job on it and not use too much creative license in respect to adding things in that weren't present in the game. I'll probably still buy it on DVD anyhow.

Let's just hope the movie still comes out and it doesn't end up like the Gears of War movie where the budget is cut in half or end up like the Halo movie where the movie was halfway unfinished.

No! Do not want ! *Fingers in ears* Lalalalalalala.

I'm scared enough by what they might do in ME3, I don't want to worry about a movie spoiling MY experience with Shep and the crew.

I MIGHT calm down if It's not about Shepherd or any of the characters we know from the games. I mean Bioware gave us these amazing games to create our story with these wonderful characters, if they make a movie about Shepherd it would be like they are saying to us "lulz, kidding, this is what really happened to Shepherd, nice try though !"

I think i'll just put my fingers back in my ears and hope it ends up like the WoW movie...

I don't think this movie will focus on Shepard's story, or on his companions. Mass Effect universe is too great, it could be anything but Sheperd's story, because Shepard's personality depends on player's choises, they cant just create a Shepard good for everyone. My opinion is this movie will be like Mass Effect novels, in movie they can mention about Shepard but that's all we will not see him, or it can be different time line like; first contact war, finding mass relays, truth behind protean-reaper, my favorite villain Seren...

[dynamicdandito]

If the movie does happen, they should have a contest where the winner gets a cameo appearance in the movie.  It could just be a walk on thing.  Anyone else think this would be neat?

[Illgor]

 I cannot wait for both the movie and mass effect 3

The rights sold are just for Mass Effect 1, not for the whole universe, not even for the whole trilogy. 

So the movie will be Shepard's story in Mass Effect 1.

I don't understand all the fuss about Hollywood making the Movie. This is one of the Games that deserves to become a movie and Hollywood, even though it has produced a lot of crap, has also produced masterpieces. Frankly, it's not even Hollywood's fault that some Directors and/or producers/screenwriters are s***heads who can't count beyond 3, let alone make a nice movie. It's not Hollywood's fault that it gives the chance to anyone with a low budget and an idea, the ability to shoot a film. Sometimes this is a good thing rather a bad one (the story of Spielberg's beggining comes to mind).

That said, the fact that the creators of the game will take part in the process of the movie-making speaks for itself. I don't think that they will kill their own franchise, with a crappy movie. This will sorely hurt their future income as a company, so my guess is that they will try and stay true to the flavor of the game and the characters in general.

As for the movie itself. Considering the typical films of the genre my guesses are that:

1) Shepard will be male. Don't have something against females heroines (Sarah Connor ftw!) but males are dominant in action films for the sheer fact that Males are the dominant sex in such areas as war/battle/conflict/physical antagonism which is an integral part of Mass Effect etc.

2) Taking the above as a given, I will surmise that a relationship will be introduced with Ash. Again, don't have something against Aliens , but an antropo-centric movie (Human is the main hero and one of the main plots in the game) clearly defines an anthropo-centric point of view so that the viewers could better envision themselves in the hero's place.

3) A lot of money will be given for SFX and make-up artists. As I stated above, since the creators of the game will be part of the team and seeing as how BioWare's games are so polished, I can only come to the conclusion that they will work as diligently in the movie, or even more so, providing guidelines, correcting mistakes in the scenario etc.

4) Mass Effect will be the new Epic Sci-Fi Trilogy which hasn't be produced since the days of the first 3 Star Wars Films (Episodes IV-VI). I have every confidence in BioWare's Team and in Hollywood's decisiveness to spend exorbitant amounts of cash to make a good movie.

How can a movie spoil you game experience?

Apples and oranges. Anything that happens in the movie has no effect on the canonicity of the game.
They cna make Shepard a 9-foot tall gorilla wearing a pink tutu and dancing balet, and it wouldn't influence ME game canon.

So all this "It's not my Sheppard! Waaahh! waaaAAAAAAAAAAAH!" whining is urretly irrational and sensles. And stupid.

Since most humans in the Mass Effect universe are mixed race, it makes absolutely no difference that Shepard's name isn't a common Hispanic or Asian name, she/he could be any race.

I still think having Shepard in the movie at all is a terribad idea though.  We are all much too attached to our own individual Shepard's and our own choices.  I have absolutely no intention of going to see a movie that canonizes a Shepard different from my own and I'm sure many other players feel the same way. 

The only way I would even consider seeing this movie is if Shepard is not in it.  (Or they happen to decide on a straight female redhead paragon Shepard, but I'm not getting my hopes up for that...)

[Sia_Sinblade]

Petition Time. Female Shepard in the Movie!

Sign this!!!!!

Ahem, yeah, i think this is a good idea and should be supported! Don't start a flame fest, but I do think the world needs more female action heroes!

Ugh, "mixed race" - everyone's ******-sapien and mixed to a point (sorry I'm being pedantic).  I agree with what you're saying though. Incidentally, my surname is Swedish, but I look asian.  NOT an uncommon thing really - what with planes, globalization, etc., emigration is a lot easier I guess...

You're right, sorry, I started to say something similar in my post originally, but felt like I was getting a little long winded, and probably over-edited myself.  Everyone's definitions of what constitutes race is different - personally I could be called white OR ethnic OR mixed, all depending on how each individual wants to define those terms.  Hahaha, dividing humanity into "races" is inherently messy and inaccurate. 

[MotoSkunkX]

If Shepard doesn't look exactly like Mark Vanderloo, or at least very very near to him in appearance - I'm not going to see the movie.  Also Seth Green for Joker.

Oh, and the romance has to be Liara.  For obvious reasons(Ashley is a **** and Asari sideboob is delicious).

No, because canon Shepard is clearly a white dude.  That is a fact.  Would you cast Seth Green as Shaft?  No, because it would be stupid and clearly non-canonical.  Like casting a black african as Heimdall aka Edda the "white god" and the "whitest of the aesir"(please take the hint Kenneth Branagh you daft culturally and racially insensitive jackarse), it would simply be insulting. 

Obviously less so for Shepard since Bioware has made the awesome move of letting you design your own Shepard, but it doesn't change the fact that canon male-shep(let's not pretend that femshep would be the lead for one second please, though if that were the case I can assure you that I would demand an authentic redhead!) is a white dutch guy.  I would certainly be offended ="( if they changed that, and not just because of my totally not gay raging bro-love for Mark Vanderloo.

[MotoSkunkX]

Clearly, the man shown in every trailer and game advertisement as well as on the box doesn't exist.

[heretica]

THIS IS A ****ING OUTRAGE.

A guy who knwos nothing about Mass Effect is going to write the script ?!?!?! Bioware are you crazy? It's going to turn out a ****ty movie. I know it already.

Least you could do is pick up someone who knows what he is doing and knows Mass Effect universe. Why didn't you pick Drew or any of the writers for ME2 ?

   

Edit after nerdrage outburst: I understand that writting books and writting a script are two different things.. but still, come on Most of crappy super hero movies and adaptations are unsuccesful because the person who wrote the script is not familiar with the story of said game/comic.

That's a default. There is no canon Shepard, or at least there's no canon Shepard that's more "correct" than anyone else's i.e. your Shepard is only canon for you... but that's it. Hence it's an RPG! You can't have a canon Shepard given the fact that ME is a game where you're forced to make choices.  That's why they never mention Shepard's first name, gender, or background in any of the supplementary material (e.g. books, comics, etc.)

His name is John, and he is buckets of win.  That's like saying Dragon Age doesn't have a canon character when anyone with half a brain can tell you that it would be a male Cousland that bangs Claudia Black on the side.

Also please don't mention the books ever again.  I like to pretend that they don't exist.  The author should be executed not only for his poor writing, but at his pathetic attempts at inserting his personal views on politics into them as well.

Are you serious?  The books were TERRIBLE.  I'd almost rather have Uwe Boll make the Mass Effect movie.

I don't think that was her point. She mentioned someone who actually knows about Mass Effect as the lead writer for the film. Drew being someone who knows about the games. You liking the books or not is irrelevant.
