i predict a pg13 rating for the mass effect.Unless the studio wants to gamble with a R rated movie.

[Phaedon]

Hey guys, any news other than finding a producer ?

[Vasalius]

It should be R so that they don't have to hold back

Not NC17? 

I would prefer R but actually expect a PG13.  The director is of the new Batman franchise and I suspect he'll go the same way with this, as will the producers.  It wasn't R because they wanted the bigger audience.  With PG13 you can skirt the edge (sadly, the magic sauce that turns a PG13 into R or NC17 is just a set of visable ta-tas while violence gets almost a free pass - I want Ashley's ta-tas! And I want' Ash to be played by Kate Beckinsale!)

What is nice about the p-13 movies is you can say the F word at least once and stay the s word a lot so if the writers are good. ME movie might be well coursed.

[szkasypcze]

maybe a sitcom about some fatguys..."Mass Effect"

 On the other hand, by the time the movie hits theaters, ME 3 will have come and gone and it would not likely matter much to players at that point.  People aren't going to play the game forever. 

Depends.  If Kaidan is in game 3 a lot, like a member of the team, I will play it for a long time to come and no, I'm not a teenage girl.  I'm an adult, married and an author.  Kaidan is my day dream guy.  I will wait for spoilers before I see the movie, Kaidan dies, I won't watch it.  It's as simple as that.  BTW, I write science fiction.  My main characters don't die.  I think people want to see happily ever after movies where the important members of the team don't die.  There's so much crap out there that we have to deal with every day.  Why not give people a happy ending.

You people realize that the movie is being made for a wider audience than that of the games, right?



Just because the film may or may not establish a canon for the series, doesn't mean that it will invalidate your version of Shepard. Your Shepard is still your Shepard. You can still play and enjoy the games and the movie version will be just that. A movie.



So instead of whining like so many of you absolutely love to do, take it for what it is: just a movie.



Chill out and stop being so picky.

 There has been a parallel discussion going on in another section of these forums:

http://social.biowar...index/4893122/1

It seems that there are a lot of people clamoring for a prequel movie.  Why do people think that this is feasible or even being considered?  Outside of the BioWare boards, nobody knows about any of the backstory.  The audience for that kind of movie would be so small it would make Uwe Boll pity the director.  

Legendary, BioWare and Avi Arad will go for what is most likely to sell: A movie based on the games, starring a male, paragon Shepard with a touch of "attitude".  They need to cash in on what will be the biggest blockbuster. 



These are the main points I'm seeing for a hypothetical first movie:
- Male Paragon Shepard played by an actor who looks like Vanderloo ( Matthew Fox, Sam Worthington etc.)

- To cash in on the whole Fox News fiasco, they'd go with Liara as a love interest as Fox made it abundantly clear to the non gaming public that you could have relations with a blue alien.  

- They'd make Shepard a mix and match of all classes, with minor biotics and tech complimenting and overall "solidery" feel.

- They'd need to cut HUGE pieces of the game.  For example:
  a) Cut Feros completely.  Nothing momentous happens there that any movie viewer would miss.  Its least important to the plot.
   Add elements of Feros to Noveria.  In addition, change the nature of Peak 13 from an open business research base to a more shady one with ties to Cerberus (and get rid of the Saren as a customer angle which no longer makes sense).  This allows Cerberus to be included in the first game in preparation for a sequel and establishes the "horrid experiments on rachni and husks" element. 
  c) Make Therum pretty darn short.
  
- I feel they should add a sub-romance between Kaiden and Ashley making the Virmire decision absolutely heart wrenching.  This makes the Virmire choice have the impact of "losing a love interest" without Shepard losing his main love interest.  Having the two starcrossed squadmates know that their partner or they will die and having their last emotional words before the bomb goes off would add a real tear jerking moment to the movie, more so than "Sheps in a relationship with Ashley and Kaiden is going to die",  Who they'd chose to kill in this setup of the movie is something I don't know.


In addition, they need the established actors for the established roles:  ie Yvonne Strahovski as Miranda (when the time comes), Brandon Keener as Garrus (voice, body as CGI), Kieth David as Anderson, a member of the Sheen/Estevez family for TIM (as Martin may not be physically the best fit at his age but Charlie would do well as would Emilio if he lost some weight)

EDIT: Forgot a very important actor- Seth Green needs to be Joker.  That's not even negotiable.

I disagree with that. The Illusive man looks in his 50s (maybe even 60s) I think Martin Sheen is perfect for the job, Charlie however is a bit too young.

[SovereignT]

Has there been any new developments on this? any chance the initial setting is in fact based in mass effect revelation? if it is the said story of commander shepard then which race/sex portrayal do they have their sights on?

Also they need to update the imdb on this..

You're kidding right?

Lets do some comparisons:

TIM:  http://masseffect.wi...ki/Illusive_Man  best picture is the second close up.

Charlie:  http://www.tvfanatic...-sheen-picture/

Emilio: http://celebritysurg...-lift-nose-job/

Martin: http://commons.wikim...artin_sheen.jpg

Emilio before he put on all of the weight is by far the closest.  

For some age comparisons: Charlie is 45, Emilio is 48 and Martin is 70.  SEVENTY!!!!!

There's no way Martin could convincingly play the role.  At best, they'd have to pull a Benjamin Button and digitally make him look like he's in his late 40's/early 50's. 

And in regards to TIM's age, according to the comic series being developed, http://masseffect.wi...fect:_Evolution, he was on the ground during the First Contact War.  If TIM fought at Shanxi, its not likely that he's in his 60's.  Early 50's would seem most accurate.  

But age is not relevant.  How he looks is all that matters.  He LOOKS like he's 50.  And we all know its easier to make a 45 year old actor look 50 than it is to make a 70 year old actor look 50.

And have you heard about his sexual relations history? (The Illusive Mans, not Sheens) To find out play Lair of the Shadow Broker. But Charlie is not a serious enough actor for my tastes anymore. I think Terry O'Quinn (John Locke from Lost) would be the better choice. I would love to have Martin Sheen for the role, but he is just too long in the tooth unless you could do a Tron type of makeover like they did for Jeff Bridges in Tron.

Agreed on the first part.  Convincing an audience that Martin Sheen is capable of those conquests at his age would be a stretch.

And we're talking about the same "starred in the Academy Award Winning film Platoon" Charlie Sheen, right?  He's got it in him.  He really does.  He just hasn't had to show his true acting chops in over a decade.  Nobody has cast him in a role that needed it.  I'm sure he could do it though.  

I had suggested the Benjamin Button/ Xmen 3/ Tron treatment, but its still not perfect yet.  They haven't quite gotten past the uncanny valley problem.  

I'm also not a fan of Terry O'Quinn for the role.  He doesn't come off as suave and uncaring in his roles.  In Lost, when he played the manipulation perspective, he always seemed too active even when the scene seemed to be about "cool and detached".  Martin did that well.  

With Martin, Shepard could have told TIM "go screw yourself" and TIM would take it with the same offense as if a kid called him a "poop head".  I can't see Terry playing the same detachment and uncontrollable patronization.

I think O'Quinn does, especially if you see some of the stuff he did in the last season of Lost as the "Smoke Monster".  Watch all the deals he makes with people and tell me if you don't see the Illusive Man in there.

Charlie Sheen, eh maybe he has a comeback left in him like Robert Downey jr. I could give him that benefit of the doubt I suppose, but he is a lampoon of a lampoon of himself right now. 

I would have to see how the video makeover of Jeff Bridges looks in Tron before I would absolutely sign off on a Martin Sheen version of that effect, not that it would be my decision to make. If they could do it and make it look good then I think Martin Sheen is the man for the role.

Not to get off topic, but I was playing ME2 last night and I really want to play an alien character...they should do spinoffs of ME where you can make a Turian, or Krogan, Drell, what have you...of course, I'm just typing out loud here...



But I wish that IMDb would update their page on the ME movie...it says that Matthew Fox is "rumored" to be Cmd. Shepard...I don't like rumors, I like facts...ya know?

[Yakko77]

Lots of awesome suggestions here but I'm still a fan of Jeremy Renner from The Hurt locker to be Shepard.

[_Spectre]

I'm going to watch it the second it goes to theaters. Hey, I might watch it twice in a row.

[CmdrKankrelat]

I like Spectre's response above - enthusiasm, excitement, overall looking forward to it. That's my attitude towards this movie, and even if it absolutely bombs I'm going to do my utmost to enjoy myself. I wish more people would just trust Legendary and BioWare to do their best, and not complain that the movie will "invalidate my Shepard" (no it won't, the movie's Shepard doesn't invalidate yours anymore than mine does), that it will suck because of video game movies' storied history (not necessarily, I think we're turning the corner. Prince of Persia may not have been absolutely brilliant, but it's a huge step up from, say, Resident Evil), and that they want a prequel story with no Shepard. I'm a huge fan of Mass Effect, and a prequel movie doesn't appeal to me in the least. How much less so will it appeal to the broad spectrum of movie-going audiences. Folks, none of us are going to get exactly what we want with this movie. But Legendary has a good track record, BioWare an even better one, so let's give them a vote of confidence and do our best to enjoy ourselves when it comes out.

Exactly. Video game movies haven't been all that great in the past, but consider the source material.

Mass Effect is by far the most story-driven game to be adapted for the silver screen so far. I'm very eager to see what they do with it.

[rockfanmcgoose]

2012 is so far away...I can hardly wait! God, can you imagine? See our little avatars? THEY MIGHT BE IN A MOVIE!!! Holy frickin' crap! eh hm...sorry, got a little carried away there...I just recruited the Justicar in ME2, so I'm a little excited about anything ME related...saweet!

take john cena for shepards role and make him oppose charlie sheen:D U CANT SEE ME EAT MY DDT!

Well said, unforunately it will be said a helluva lot more because people will continue to say if things don't go their way they won't watch it it, or if this doesn't happen they won't watch it.  Listen to how some of you sound, it seriously sounds like a tantrum.  How many have a similar threats coming from children?  The, "If you don't, I won't clean my room!!"  Just stop.

Actually, anyone think Robert Downey Jr. (with some gray hair and makeup to age him) would work for The Illusive Man? I think he could pull it off, speaking with an emotionless yet smooth detachment.  Don't crucify me, I am not saying it should or shouldn't be, it was just a thought. 

[Virginian]

For the Illusive Man and Miranda I think they should be played by the people they were modeled after and voiced by. Same goes for any other character who was modeled after their voice actor.

If Robert Downey Jr. is in a movie I won't watch it unless he's playing a drunk the entire time. The guy can only play a drunk convincingly.
