My 2 cents, imported from a thread that was shut down:



Shepard shouldn't be the star of the movie. This would be the jumping on point for a lot of people, so instead of adapting the VG plotline, it should tell a different story. Like Chris Nolan's Batman, you need to gradually work in the "core" stuff.



So the hero can be either an original character (just like how the novels brought in Kahlee Sanders), a young David Anderson, or a young Zaeed Massani. Let's also forget that there's a character very important to ME lore that I imagine quite a few gamers might not have heard of: Jon Grissom.



The movie can show us Earth, playing on the stuff that the games alluded to. Perhaps it can also show us Jon Grissom's epic first flight, then flash forward to the relay 314 incident. Ashley's grandfather and Saren's brother could appear in some capacity. Getting lifelike turians in an ME movie would be no small feat (remember some of those turian faces in ME1?), so having them mostly appear in helmets, with unmasked faces featured sparingly might be the easiest way to go there.



Sequels could show us the sad plight of the quarians, the hostility between the Systems Alliance and the Batarian Hegemony, and some badass krogan villains.

I'm literally staggered by the number of people who refuse to accept default-Shep as Bioware's canonical Shep. If they wanted Shep to remain anonymous in media they would have kept him in a helmet, or had his face similarly obscured. They did not do this. Instead they hired a male model, used his face, and stuck it on all the advert materials, toys, etc, and plastered it on the cover of both games. They then used manShep's voice actor to narrate the release trailer and and Shep character ad. If you were to pick up a copy of Mass Effect and show the box to people with little to no knowledge of the franchise, i.e. the vast majority of the population, and ask who the main character is, they would point to "defaultShep," which is something that was obviously intended.



John Shepard with the default appearance is the Bioware canonical character, and that is the only Shepard that actually matters. I'm sorry to tell you that Bioware could give **** all about the fans when it comes to this sort of thing, so for your own sakes accept it and move on.

While I don't see the necessity of it (the games already feel rather cinematic), I do think there's a lot of potential for a ME movie to turn out great given there's enough of the originial developers involved.

If the movie has the same story and characters as the game(s), this should be the obvious cast:

Michael Beattie as Mordin Solus
Steve Blum as Urdnot Grunt
Keith David as David Anderson
D.C. Douglas as Legion's voice
Keythe Farley as Thane Krios' voice
Seth Green as Jeff Moreau
Jennifer Hale as FemShep
Tricia Helfer as EDI
Michael Hogan as Captain Baley
Brandon Keener as Garrus Vakarian
Adam Lazarre-White as Jacob Taylor
Carrie-Anne Moss as Aria T'Loak
Mark Meer as Shepherd
Yvonne Strahovski as Miranda Lawson
Courtenay Taylor as Subject Zero
Steven Barr as Urdnot Wrex
Kimberly Brooks as Ashley Williams
Natalia Cigliuti as Morinth
Dave Fennoy as Warlord Okeer
Ali Hillis as Liara T'Soni
Cara Pifko as Kelly Chambers
Raphael Sbarge as Kaidan Alenko
Dwight Schultz as Navigator Pressly
Carolyn Seymour as Dr. Chakwas
Keith Szarabajka as Harbinger
Robin Sachs as Zaeed Massani
Kym Lane as Kasumi Goto
Fred Tatasciore as Saren Arterius
Peter Jessop as Sovereign

Basically the folks who voiced Mass Effect, for those who didn't get that yet. All of them don't look just as they do in the game, but they looks similiar and they really don't have to look just like the game's characters.
Most importantly, their voices are the same and that's important to me.

[PARAGON87]

Since more than 3/4 of the Mass Effect video game cast are not big-time actors, I bet they're just lining up for casting for this movie!

you forgot Adam Baldwin as Kal' Reegar.

[NasInTheOven]

Indeed I did. Sorry, Adam Baldwin.

Some friends and I were talking last night about this. I my self am hoping more for what happens around Anderson and Kahlee in the first book to be put into a movie instead of the whole ME1/2 thing.

[Tiggerrac]

i just hope it comes out after ME3 so it does not effect the game in any way

[Lord Ed1]

If those people would be in the movie, the Mass Effect fanbase would cause it to be success on it's own. I hope we soon get a list of such a cast being confirmed. For me, it's the only way that movie would be worth watching.

[exskeeny]

i know this has probably been argued about loads in this topic but lets face it, this is what it will be:



male, paragon, soldier. SHEPARD.



and you know what, i'm happy with that as long as they make a good movie. it won't win any oscars because these films never do(okay special effects, editing and wardrobe is a possibility.) so all i ask is make a good movie.

[DoAtech]

Jessica Alba for Tali!!!

 

[Ttivael]

I have to admit, I'm really not excited about this. I absolutely adore the games, but a movie BioWare? I don't know...

[Vdrake77]

One thing I think a lot of folks are forgettings is that a lot of crappy game-based movies come from games with little detail into the plot or backstory. Uwe Boll films don't even BEGIN to count, because the man seems to hate video games anyways. But movies like Mario Bros, where the plot has always been simple 'beat giant lizard, save princess' will of course need serious adaption, because the game itself provides no extra story. Mass effect, on the other hand, has backstory out the wazoo. You could stay pretty true to the universe without butchering anything.



There's a lot that can be done in the ME universe. I think as long as we see some familiar faces (Tali, so to speak), we'll be pleased. A movie set in the mass effect universe without any of the characters we've met would lose a lot of appeal. And humans in general don't have much place in the ME universe until Shep shows up, so it might be tricky to even do a movie without him.



As far as sticking to the choices given for ME2's standard Shep. Not sure if that's a good idea, as some of those weren't very popular. People seem to like Wrex, for instance. Part of the reason I can see Bioware having the default Shep as kinda crappy is so people will play the FIRST game all the way through. Besides, if we already knew all the choices he was going to make, it'd take something away from the movie. Gotta have your audience wondering what's coming next, and the people most likely to see it are the fans of the games. It's going to be hard enough to introduce the characters and have non-players recognize them. I mean, how late in the game do you get Liara? They're obviously going to have to make SOME changes for time. And the characters that are still around in ME2 are most likely going to make an early showing. Which means I think we'll have Garrus and Tali pretty quickly. Wrex, if he's just going to die, might get cut entirely. Liara's interesting, but then you need to have time to deal with her mother seperately from Saren.

[Hekynn]

Awsome Bioware good job!! I vote for Male Shepard!! And Keep Seth Green in it for Joker.

[xensung]

 

Pew Pew! Hire Me!

Tali will either be played and voiced by a no name or played by a no name and voiced by a celeb.... You don't hide celebs faces... So i guess you could make her re-breather see through. 

I would love a Shep movie, but I would also like a first contact movie. I just know it will be a male Shep movie because it would appeal to a larger audience.

[Quadshot4]

Possible actors:



Seth Green-Joker (definitely)

Keith David or Morgan Freeman- Anderson

Dutch model guy Marcus Vanderloo (if he can act & speak fluent english) or Brad Pitt/Christian Bale- male shepard

Chris Pine- Kaiden

Hugo Weaving- Chancelor



All the aliens should have their original voice actors, but same face models should be the same.

And Most Importantly the Geth should act like they do in the video game, please don't mess it up like Lucas did by giving the starwars droids a comedic role.

[coolrage]

Matthew Fox as John Shepard!
Erica Cerra as Ashley Williams!
(someone) as Kaiden Alenko!

Meh, Lost Fans.

[Obara]

Can't wait to see this in theatres. Stand your ground, Bioware. This is YOUR STORY that sold the games, so when they try to pull some creative direction pulling, remind them of that. I would rather you guys cancel the movie than see a disappointment of Resident Evil praportions. 

As a fan, I wish the original voice talent could be used. Even though it is unlikely to have the voice actors for commander shepard play the role, at least have them do something in the movie. Normandy crew members or something. You definately can still use Garrus, Wrex, and Tali since they are either suits or CG.

Using auditory things from the game helps bring the right feel to the movie. Like Silent Hill for example, using the music from the game helped bring back the same feelings experienced while playing the game, and that is why i went to see the movie in the first place.

[maxpowers2525]

if they allow for a big budget it could be one of the greatest movies ever but if they go low budget like many video game films it could ruin mass effect forever they key will be actors they must have some heavy star power

[Dexikovicek]

JILLIAN MURRAY should play LIARA T´SONI  (the model of Liara was based on the Jillian´s look)

Give me Michelle Rodriguez

[cerberus1701]

Why do you people think that an ME film has to encapsulate both games....and then berating it saying it can't be done.



You're right. It probably can't. At the least the result would be a bloated mess.



Basing it solely on the first game seems far more likely and doable since the game is already a fully encapsulated story.

I hope it is based on the books rather than the game. Making it based on the game would be its ruin because it will force the writers to take a side like for example, they may have to choose between male shep and fem shep. This would alienate a certain group of fans plus this forum would go down when tons of fans whose preference was not favored to scream "Mass Effect movie sucks!!!" 

And to whomever thinks like that and would throw a fit, let me tell you this: "YOU SUCK!"

A movie Shepard wouldn't be a game canon shepard. A move is practicly a different continuity.
If anyone would be offended that move Shep does somethig different than tehy would want, then they are morons. You are allowed to paly your version of Shepard, but Shepard is Biowares cahracter for all intents or purposes.

For the love of God, it's jsut a game. there are thousands of Shepards out there. Get a grip pople! Get a life!
