I think either Gerard Butler or Hugh Jackman as Shepard would be great. since theyre both badasses. as for Saren they'll prolly use double and have him voiced by Fred Tatasciore. I just hope they shoot it right and dont pick crappy actors. AND PLEASE BIOWARE GET DREW KARPYSHYN to be the main writer!!

[mr boom95]

NO SHEPERD!!!!

[KotoriRod]

i hope Seth Green is Joker, but i also hope it doesn't really mess with the main storyline... like kinda make with what they did for Jacob and Miranda... just different characters... THAT WOULD APPEAR IN MASS EFFECT 3 if the movie comes out before the game...

[Forty_Two42]

The Skyllian Blitz, that is all.

[PHresh94]

i really dont want it to be about shepherd, leave that for the games

[Blackwingang3l]

Matthew Fox as Commander Shepard is by far the best choice!

[Archangel437]

I can't believe how many people seriously want Shepard to be played by a 42 year old Swedish model...Matthew Fox is the best choice IMO

Edit: Dutch, sorry

Indeed, I just dont know if people realize that he's the one who should play as Commander Shepard.

I cant believe people think a 44 year old (46 most likely by the time of filming) American sub-par actor who WAS AT ONE TIME A MODEL HIMSELF is a good choice.

This game is epic in large part to its phenomenal soundtrack. I hope they give credit to that fact by incorporating some of it into the film



Sam Worthington for Shepard!

Second, you intend to fit the contents of ME1 in a single movie?  TV Series sure, movie seems implausible to me.  At the maximum you'll receive 2 and half hours of potential screen time.  Here is what you have to decide on including in your film (Basic Plot Missions);

1) Prologue: Find the Beacon (On the Normandy / Eden Prime)
2) Citadel: Expose Saren (Presidium / Chora's Den / Med Bay )
3) Find Liara T'Soni (Therum Surface-Mako / Prothean Ruins)
4) Noveria: Geth Interest (Port Hanshan-Politics / Peak 15 / Rift Station / Hot Labs)
5) Feros: Geth Attack (Zhu’s Hope / Tunnels / ExoGeni Headquarters / The Thorian)
6) Virmire: Saren's Plan (Insertion-Mako / Base Assault / Sovereign / Citadel Station - Return)
7) Ilos: Find the Conduit (Upper Ruins / The Archives-Vigil / Trench Run)
8) Siege of the Citadel (Exhaust Plains / Presidium / Council Chambers / Space Battle)
9) Epilogue

Ignoring potential fanboy backlash from Paragon/Renegade choices, Man/Female Shepard, Plot decisions(Rachini, Wrex, etc.), look at the content above and tell me you can make a coherent story out of that in the alloted time.  Because when I look at that, it doesn't seem possible without severe cuts to the story and action, ruining ME1's greatest asset, it's immersion.

A coherent story? Easy. First of all ,you need to take a look at what plot elements the move would need. Game is not equal movie, so anything that consitutes aas padding and extra gameplay cna go.

You don' need the rachni queen. You don't need Feros. You don't need matriach Benzai to be THERE specificly. You could easly plce her with her daughter. Instead of 3 location to visit, you now have only one.

In a game you have to walk around a lot, and pass obstables a lot. In the movie, you proceed at hte pace of plot. You dont' have to spend 30 minutes fighitng to get to the other side of hte level. In the movie, That could be done instantly or in a few minutes tops.

Taking all of this into acount, you can make a coherent plot that follows all major plot points. Easy-peasy.

I agree that alot of the game padding can be trimmed to cut back on the story. It sucks but its something that needs to be done to knock it down to a workable 2.5 hr movie. The need for the cipher can be combined into the ruins that Liara is digging in and found there.  Feros and the Thorian arent really needed.  Benzai can be combined with Virmire and working there within the cloning labs. The Rachni Queen and Noveria arent really needed either.  Sure this cuts alot of side characters and story that alot of people like, but in all seriousness they arent required plot elements.

Ihope that the movie actually sticks to the awesome story line that bioware has developed, but we all know that the movie will be just an action packed by the seat of your pants prelude to a future sequeal.  I just hope ME3 blows away ME2 like ME2 blew away the original. At least then I know the developer and the publisher earned my hardly earned $$$. at least when i purchase a bioware game i know that  my purchase will look pretty run fast, and be everlastingly replayable . If they want to cast aSheppard the need to cast Sam Worthington , He has The Look, The Attitude, And The Cult Following that will make It Work

[AETHELDOD2]

Boy am I late for this news..... heck yeah a ME movie ..... it makes me happy/unhappy..... this awesome universe is getting screen time (which is a plus by my books... I luv movies as much as videogames) .... please make it a story not about Shepard ..... with as many Asaris as possible hehe .... the down side is that I wish I was the one making it...... darn it too bad Im still not a movie director , this universe would be one I would really like to makes movies from.... hint bio hint... ( a la Star Treck you know , 10 plus movies and counting )

[Chewwiiit]

Hugh Jackman or Christian Bale for Shepard? Or maybe Matthew Fox?

Mark Vanderloo has no acting experience whatsoever. Matthew Fox gave a great performance on LOST, and has said that he is going to try to start a movie career.

I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of how writers/directors love to cut corners.  We've seen it over and over in American cinema.  The issue is if the ME storyline, immersion, and characters can survive these cuts.  No Rachini Queen (And the numerous other cuts you are suggesting) means that you are blowing your load on a single movie, with no hope of sequels, with the risk of damaging the franchise and alienating fans.  Adaptations of anything are a balance between appealing to the Canon while attempting to pull in the mainstream audience, and it very rarely succeeds when jumping across mediums.  Look at Movies -> Video games, there tons of great films are simply didn't transfer into games very well.  Different mediums require very different approaches, and it sure as hell isn't "easy-peasy" as you say.  

It seems far more sane to make the story set in the ME universe, with original content that can be built between Bioware and the writer/director. Little to no risk of alienating fans, greater creative freedom, easier to pace, etc.  Granted this is all a pipe dream, because buying the rights to ME allows Legendary Pictures to create a horrendous sci-fi action movie and simply slap "Mass Effect" on the title, so I guess we should steel our resolve now.  It can't be worse then Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, right?
 

Taking all of this into acount, you can make a coherent plot that follows all major plot points. Easy-peasy.

I responded seriously to the top part of the part, before reread this.  Are you just trolling?  If it's so easy to make a coherent and good movie, why has Hollywood never succeeded in doing so?  There is zero supporting evidence that our movie industry is capable of porting videos games into decent movies. Look at Video Games -> Movies.  It doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Paul Walker as Shepard.

I hope they don't make the movie based on the story itself >.> Maybe it should be about the First Contact war, and other major events of the Mass Effect universe.

Seth Green HAS to be Joker (if Joker is in it) for it to be good though, no one else can do Joker. Also, if Shepard is in this, at least try casting Will Smith (if going Renegade, I can't imagine a Paragon Will Smith), if he doesn't make it, at least say you tried. (and before all of you give me crap about wanting a Black Male Shepard, anytime I log on any site or video involving Mass Effect, Shepard is ALWAYS white, even the customs! What are you people, racist?)

[The Harmonizer]

As long as the movie concerns something that happened before Mass Effect 1 you would get around all the serious Paragon/renegade issues. As it has been mentioned before, the discovery of prothean tech on mars and the following first contact war would make a great setting for a Mass Effect movie Version 1.0.
