Seriously, they're not going to cast someone who looks like Liara and then cast another one who sounds like her to do a voice-over. Instead they'll cast someone who somewhat looks and sounds like her, therefore only having to pay one actress instead of two. Even if its different than how she looks, acts, or sounds in the game, the studio would prefer that to save money.

But you must relize that her face and head are going to be CG anyway so they will just get one to sound like her.

That would be kind of dumb. Honestly, it'd probably look just as good (of not better than CGI) to use prosthetics and make-up as opposed to CGI.



Besides, nothing has been confirmed or announced, so you're just assuming that. I'd be very surprised if they CGI'd the Asari...any other race I could understand, but CGI'ing the Asari in this movie would be a pointless waste of money and effort. Turians, Volus, Elcor, Batarians...I could understand using CGI for them, since their builds/body-types almost require CGI (as opposed to humans in make-up). But an Asari is basically just a human female with a tentacle wig and blue make-up...why is CGI necessary?

All right, everyone.

The List has been refined - details are below.


The Refined List (ME 1 & 2 Characters)
 
(Note: The refined list does not have a particular order, but is reduced tremendously. Depending on the character, the roster of actor/actresses will either be condensed to a minimum of 5 up to a maximum of 25 actors/actresses who would be better for a specific role (such as John Shepard) or one actor/actress that should be destined to play their character counterpart (such as Carrie Ann-Moss as Aria T’Loak).  However, there are some that I can’t put a definite role on because of the limited choices on it. Also, all of the voice actors who only play a very small part in the ME universe is taken out of the refined list to show the protagonists, squad members, known actors/actresses playing supporting roles, and antagonists. Some VA’s are included in the refined list.)

I'd add Jessica Biel in for Ashley. She'd be my pick, certainly would be better than someone like Michelle Rodriquez.

[NightAntilli]

There should be no Shepard in any Mass Effect movie. They should not use the main game character as the main movie character. It will ruin the image of freedom and choice that the gamer has playing as Shepard. They should do it around someone else, like when Captain Anderson was young or something, or the first contact war, or one of the novels...

[Dave of Canada]

I didn't read the thread but if I was to pick a time to put the movie, it would be the first contact war. It would add insight for the players about something that's often heard about and it would remove the need to canonize anything involving Shepard.



Let's also not forget how people who've never seen or heard of the game would still be able to follow the plot while those who did would be able to get more satisfaction out of the plot.

Most of you were probably going to illegally download it anyway so I doubt they'll miss much profit from you.
99% of the game fans will not care when Movie Shep is the default shep and makes X choice or romances Liara.

i agree whit u 100% idk how many mass effect hardcore fans there is in the world but it cant be more then 2 mill or so and then u have the rest who havent even played the games
so if its first contact war or defualt shepard "ME-games" story does not matter to me at all

Not that she wouldn't be a good addition to the cast. I'm just not sure yet.

They can't, unless they buy the rights out from either Legendary Films or Warner Bros.

But still, Disney brings Jerry Bruckheimer most of the time, so if Legendary is dumped for him, this will be a good thing.

People only say Michelle Rodriguez because she is the first generic tough girl actor who comes to mind and she has about the same skin color as Ashley. She really isn't that great of an actor though, only good role she had was in Lost and her character in that is nothing like what Ashley should be like.

Jessica Alba looks the part if you die her hair but I'm not convinced she can pull off the soldier role, Beil has done it more than once.

Whoever makes the movie, if it's actually about Shepard I'd be extremely disappointed, I don't even have a Shepard that looks like or has the same background as the "iconic" figure BW created.

Prince of Persia wasnt that bad

Not all Disney movies sucked, I agree. Prince of Persia was decent - considering the fact that it's their first time distributing a film from a video game. In fact, most of the Disney movies in general are very well praised. But in this case, I would be wary of DIsney making yet another live-action and cgi'd film, let alone Mass Effect.

If I was looking into live-action films and live-action films w/ animation for trilogies (from the past 10 years to now), you're looking at movies such as Pirates of the Carribean, High School Musical, National Treasure, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Santa Clause. Yes, some of us love pirates, magical creatures, and zac efron - and that's not a bad thing. But honestly, would I really pay for an ME film that's going to be distributed by Disney Studios w/ a track record of all 5 of these trilogies/sagas? My answer would be NO.

Taking into account that Disney released Prince of Persia only a few months ago, I don't think that I would imagine even wanting an ME Movie (being rated PG-13) for being distributed of that kind of stature, cheesy or not. Heck, most of these Disney movies included an "oh, we/he/she helped/saved this/them from that and now everything's a happily-ever-after" routine. That's the same with all animated Disney movies, live-action films, and the movies in between animation and live-action. And they've been doing that since 1937. I think that would be boring and compeletely unecessary to show to kids/teens something as complex as ME (especially Prince of Persia), even when Disney Studios matured their movies to attract to adults as well. The general public wouldn't get it, wouldn't want to understand it, and would be mainly considered to those who have played or seen Mass Effect before. The content of the Mass Effect game already possesses to gamers with the knowledge of Shepard's backstory and what gamers know from the ME games and books so far. It would irrefutable for Disney to do so, given this knowledge.

However, with Legendary Pictures, they have made stunning and visualized movies that had impacted teenagers and adults since Batman Begins (2005). They have currently made plenty of box-office successes in a matter of 5 years for live-action films, not like Disney (since 1950); more-so for recognizing DC Comics movies, like Batman and Superman. Now, they are trying to enter films from the gaming industry - Mass Effect being the first.

Legendary WILL gain a tremendous achievement for us gamers and to the known public even more if the ME Movie is created like we had all believed it to be, regardless of it not being the Shepard we all would like.

One more thing: I would disagree with favoring Jerry Bruckheimer over Legendary Pictures. I enjoy watching Jerry's movies, but w/ Pirates 4 being currently filmed as we speak and National Treasure 3 underway, that would be a lot pressure for man if you include for him to help with the ME Movie for release in 2012.  

[Captain Artenon]

For most of the actors, the voiceover actors should be kept (Wrex, Garrus, Tali, etc.).

Shepard can be played by anyone really, though will most likely end up being cast as a male actor who resembles the "iconic" John Shepard (as Bioware refers to him). Personally, I just hope whoever they pick for Shepard has better acting skills than the male voiceover in ME1&2; his monotone, inability to express emotions vocally, and tendency to sound like HES TALKING REALLY LOUDLY all the time caused me to forgo playing as Male Shepard in ME2. The Female Shepard voiceover actress is much better.

Seth Green and Keith David (Joker and Captain Anderson respectively) could easily pull off their roles on the big screen. Kaidan seems to have been somewhat modeled after Rafael Sbarge (the character's voice actor), so he could probably pull it off. Benezia was voiced over by Marina Sirtis, who played Counselor Troi on Star Trek: TNG. Given her past sci-fi acting experience, she could portray Benezia in the movie.

The Asari will probably be achieved via prosthetic makeup on actors. Tali could be someone in a costume, but accuracy would suffer, given that quarian leg joints are different, and they only have two toes and three fingers. It is possible that a combination of CGI and costume could be used to get around this however (such as digitally removing fingers, etc.). Wrex and Garrus are even less humanoid, so they'll probably be CGI. The Geth and Sovereign would obviously be CGI as well.

That is true, if you're also considering her role in Cameron's Avatar. But her name is there for her look on popularity status. She wasn't who I'd was rooting for, anyway. My first choice was Erica Cerra.

Jessica Alba as Ashley but not Michelle Rodriguez? 

People keep bringing up Michelle's role in Lost as if that is the culmination of her work as an actress.  It's not just about her skintone... she has nearly the identical attitude, persona and voice of Ashley Williams.  It's really a no-brainder.  Forget about what you've seen her in before... she was MADE for this role (assuming it is cast).

Keep Alba and Biel as far away from this film as possible, unless you want a certified flop.  No amount of butt shots could save it if either of them were cast.  Ashley would have to be played by someone with an edge and that looks like she can be both dangerous and approachable... which neither Alba nor Biel have as a combo in any believable sense.

I didn't say Jessica Alba - and neither did B34TINGU1.

B34TINGU1 had said Jessica Biel, you believe it's Michelle Rodriguez, and I think Erica Cerra.

To be honest, any one of the three can portray her. They all have the bravado we are looking for. As long as Ashley, whoever is portrayed, is persevering as the character was brought up to be, I'm fine w/ that.
