 If they use commander shepard in it then they should use someone famous or a good actor!
 It should be someone like Brad Pitt, Matt Damon , or Mark Walberg.
When they make the movie it should be actiony and full of story.
 And don't forget to make it where people who don't know of the series will watch it.

[Revan Shepard]

all good, but NOT a big fan of Matt Damon, please anyone but him

[Andy the Salarian]

If the movie is based on the first book it will be AMAZING!

[xJackDanielsx]

This movie should focus on the ME universe and not the Shepard character.  They should focus on the period before Shepard was born (First Contact War) or have a storyline totally unrelated to the Shepard story arc.

[SpiderFan1217]

Has there been any new info in the last 50 pages?

[SpiderFan1217]

The movie is about Shepard and ME1. No doubt in my mind.

EDIT: Fix.

I honestly hope that the movie plot has nothing to do with the Shepard trilogy... that would kill the point of having a choice-based storyline, and attempting to recast the existing characters with look and sound alikes would inevitably be disappointing.

That said, the Mass Effect galaxy is a place with a great many stories to tell, so here's hoping that the writers and producers will craft something fresh.

I agree completely. Sorry to compare mass effect to star wars but look what they've done there. I'm thinking they could do something with a young Captain Anderson or something. They could show the first contact war and with that also how Cerberus was formed, when the normandy was built, or something I can't even think of right now.

Here's another wacky idea:
Have mShep as the hero... but follow Ashley Williams as the main character. (That is, the focus and POV tends to follow her role in the story more than the other characters, it doesn't mean the story actually changes at all.)
Why?  Shepard is a hero at the beginning, continues to be heroic throughout the story, and is a hero at the end.  That's fine and we'd still see plenty of that, but Ash has the more interesting story of starting off on Eden Prime (where the beacon will be uncovered and we see it for the first time) having never seen an alien, then being attacked by Geth, losing her squad and meeting Shepard.  Then she has to deal with meeting and working with increasingly more aliens over the course of the movie (helping underscore the 'working with other cultures is good' theme) and then has to deal with the survivor's guilt when Kaidan dies.  (or totally out of left field, have her the main character until Virmire and then kill her off!!! *gasp*).  Of course, that character arc should still be covered to some degree even if she isn't made the main character.
The benefit of this idea is that we get a female main character And a male hero which might keep more people happy/interested than a male hero with a female subordinate as a secondary character.  The big problem with this idea is that Ash is a very minor character in the sequel, so it would have to revert to Shepard as the main character (that could go with killing Ashley off dramatically at Virmire ) or make Miranda the main focus (which would probably upset even more people...)

That's actually a pretty good idea.  Kind of reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica Razor tv movie.  Which gives me a crazy idea maybe; Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) as Shepard.  A drunken, violent, pissed off Shepard.   

For a sequel, they could work the comicbook into it, and have it start out with Liara being recruited by Miranda to recover Shepard's body, then have her stick around for the rest of the story instead of shuffling off to Illium.

Just a wacky idea, I don't really expect that to happen.

Now, some things that can be shown in the movie that we missed out on in the game:
1. Inside the Mako.  Part of the boredom of the Mako was that the characters were inside but the camera wasn't, which depersonalised that part of the game a lot.  We had better get to see what it looks like and more importantly see and hear the characters as they drive/tumble around and blow stuff up.
2. The Commander commanding the Normandy.   In the game you just select stuff on the galaxy map and one or two standard cutscenes later, you're there.  And why you can walk around and talk to people it doesn't really feel like you're in command.  In the movie we should see Shepard give orders to Joker to go places.
3. Speaking of the galaxy map, it should have more use than just a pretty hologram.  Perhaps when Shepard chooses a location (which will display the codex entry in the air above it!) it will relay the coordinates to Joker (but Shepard will still speak to Joker about the destination too, see above)
4. More varied visuals for power usage: in the game, using a biotic or tech ability looks the same every time because it's procedural.  In a movie they can actually vary colours (not to much!) and power levels and trajectories as appropriate rather than having to use stock animations for everything.
5. Obviously planets will be more detailed and distinguished
6. Background characters can be more organic, rather than just standing still or sitting down typing or suchlike.
7. On the topic of holograms, they had better look amazing!  Because we know they can.
8. I kinda mentioned this previously but it bears repeating: The squad limit of 2 will be dropped (though that doesn't necessarily mean everyone will tag along everywhere) and squad interactions and orders can be a lot more varied.  And because we can have more squad members fighting (likely splitting into separate fireteams) we can have a lot more enemies to fight!  Also because they won't have the same rendering limit.
9. The graphics of the Mass Effect 1 movie will look FAR better than the graphics of the Mass Effect 2 game.
10. Powers and weapons will probably be adjusted so they are consistent across all the movies (they had especially better avoid the 'all weapons in the galaxy were replaced with lame ones requiring heatsinks to be replaced, in the span of 2 years' issue.

BTW we don't need to worry about who will play Miranda until the sequel - unless they give her a cameo in the first one...

The idea about Ashley... I think that would be cool.  They could make it jump around, I mean the time frame.  You would see shep through ashley, and it would work.  You could start the movie on eden prime, and have it mostly action for the first 20 min with no back story.  Then where shep touches the beacon and blacks out, jump back through the vision shep has and then some of his past.  Maybe his backstory or/his conversation with nihlis to set up the rest of the movie and then he wakes up.  Then starting credits and a brief expalantion of how humanity got where they are technologically.  Then proceed through the movie, through her eyes, or jump to someone else, for the next part of the movie, and see shep through their eyes in a different time, and then again.  It would be interesting to see shep through all of their eyes out of chronilogical order untill it all comes together at the end.   

GOOD IDEA!  don't know if it will be considered.

That's a brilliant idea. To have Ashley Williams become the main character but have mShepard be the hero. You could start the movie by having Ashley on Eden Prime while the voices of Nilhus, Anderson, and Shepard are both giving Shepard's first mission into becoming a Spectre and its background on Eden Prime. That could probably be for about 5 min. And then the action. You could spark up a love interest between the two characters and travel it off from there.

Also, all of the things that could be in the movie that we missed in the first game - ALL of those choices should be in this movie (maybe not Miranda, but...)

2 questions:

1. If the decision was made to make Ashley the main character, who would be the main character for ME 2? Joker? Miranda? Garrus? The Illusive Man?

2. How would you transfer over from having Ashley as the main character to having one of the supporting characters in ME 2? It may become too complicated if we end up having Shepard as the main hero, but not as the main character. That kind of build-up and performance may make the movie a bit stale because I'm sure that half the people who have heard of or played the game, the general audience in this way would rather have Shepard.

You're options on doing that to ME are brilliant ideas. I'm not saying that's wrong. I just think that a trilogy on that path may be a bit boring. That would be good for this ME, but it's probably best for the rest of the trilogy to see Shepard as the main character.

No portrayal of Shepard will be Shepard in the eyes of the audience.  Just because *you* might like the idea, doesn't mean it's a good one.  Look at the number of people here that get up in arms over the concept of a 'canon' Shepard.  In fact, go ahead over to the spoiler section and propose the idea, watch how fast you go down in flames.  

There's a reason the novels don't even mention Shepard.  They don't want to invalidate the ideal of Shepard that their audience has created.  They didn't do it then, and unless they want to ****** off their fans, they won't do it here either.

You're on to something here -- but whereas the books are for the fans, read by fans pretty much only, and can make money that way... the movie is not  foremost for fans. While I think that they won't want to alienate anyone, I don't think their main concern is pleasing the fans per se. So I think everyone should be ready to see an on-screen Shepard, because that story is already written, and it's pretty good, and very accessible, with a clear hero, a clear villain, and some good plot twists, and has tested well (to over a million gamers)... even if we the fans mostly agree that we'd like a new experience from the world of the games.

Ok, for those that think you should not include Shep:

Just because they go a certain direction with Shep doesn't mean it would impact your game, or the Story you created. If you played a certain way, and made your Shep a certain way, then it might be interesting to see someone elses take on Shep. We might see how the people at Bioware play Shep when they play, or see the way the screenwriter played. They can change just enough of the original story to make it great for everyone, even people that played in multiple ways.

look at the new star trek movie... was a good movie, and they kept a very similar storyline as the original, but changed how the characters got to where they eventually ended up. Whats not to say that do something similar here? I think Shep at the very least should have cameo, if not a larger part.

Sorry, disagree Not about the star trek move - I'm a fan.  But the idea.    Star trek was a tv show - with Kirk, Spock  and the rest of the crew all set in permenent icon status.  The movie was Kirk, Spock and the rest of the crew, just younger.  At no time could the viewer (me)  change anything about Kirk.  He was who he was and no click of the button would make him Ms. Kirk or change his attitude. 

I controle Shepard.  I decide what will be the road traveled, what reaction will be displayed.  I do not want to see Shepard in any shape or form.  I don't want to see Sally Shepard or Tom Shepard, not as a cadet and not as a retired General sitting on a porch drinking a beer with his buddy.  My Shepard is not the same as your Shepard. and not the same Shepard as BioWare would turn out.  So I really hope they leave Shepard out of the movie.  Maybe mention the name maybe see a figure in the distance, one that you can't tell is male or female, one that will leave the game sacred and personal, as it should be.

OK, maybe it's the cynic in me and this has probably been mentioned by several people already (Sorry, didn't read all 54 pages of the thread), but as much as we all are jonesing for a new adventure, Hollywood has proven one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt...

They don't make game movies for gamers or hardcore fans. PERIOD.

No studio is going to buy the rights to a franchise and then NOT use the character most associated with it. It's not going to happen. This movie will include Shepard. And despite the fact that most of us are 50-50 split between femsheps or malesheps, the movie will feature a generic version of the default male "John Shepard". Why? Because it's easy. That's how these things work, IMO. Movie execs see that a game is popular and they see the characters on the box. They'll go a little deeper to get the general storyline (which will probably be the ME1 story involving just Saren; doubt they'll go into too much Reaper detail until they see if the movie is a hit); they'll get the info on the other necessary characters (not ALL of them, just the necessary ones); they'll hire screenwriters to water-down the plot considerably, then they'll make the film with a lot of fancy effects and explosions that will appeal to the 15-and-under demographic.

Yes, there will be people from BioWare during the process, but that's just to make sure things don't deviate too much from the game. It'll be a very generic telling of the basic story. Shepard will be somewhere in the center...not too Paragon, not too Renegade. He'll probably flirt with Liara, but end up with Ashley (Can't have any of that inter-species dating, that'd make too many of us hardcore fans happy!). The cast will make all fans of the game cringe, because Hollywood always thinks that bigger name stars mean more revenue. And then of course, there's the ungodly amount of marketing that comes with a big sci-fi movie (Although, I'll probably be getting that Wrex action figure).

Sorry, everyone. I love this franchise as much as anyone, but I've seen too many franchises follow this template once it goes to film. I don't see things changing now.

As far as that go - they don't usually make movies for the people who read the book either.  Once in a blue moon a book will make a good movie.  But I'm going to hope that they pick one of the books to work with, or some other event that would make a good introduction to a new ME universe game.

I agree it could be complicated - but can be done.  If it turns out not to work, then have the movie itself told/seen through the eyes of shepard's squad.  Show how they all see him, and why they are all willing to follow him into almost certain death.  The squad is large part of the game, so make them a large part of the story by seeing through their perspesctive.  You can actually tell the story out of chronilogical order, and bring it all together at the end.  For example, you could show what happens on virmire first through Wrex and their confrontation and end the scene with a stalemate between shepard and Wrex with weapons drawn.  Then jump back to rescuing Liara or Tali.  Or start with Eden Prime.  The point is tell the story as to why they all respect and follow shepard out of order, and bring it all together at the end.  Maybe bring it back to the stalemate with Wrex, and show the conmclusion there.  There doesn't matter, just to keep non fans  wondering. "What? why did that happen?"  Then at the end of the movie, or slowly throughout the movie things start coming together.  I think that would make for an interesting movie.  Also it would change stuff up for those of us that are more familiar with the story.  

If done that way then you wouldn't have to worry about how anyone would come back in the second. 

What do you think? 

[Eternal Density]

Thanks. I'm glad people think it's kinda a good idea though I agree that the transition into a sequel wouldn't work.
All I've got to do is think up a good idea that will work for the whole trilogy, not just the first movie. Tough ask, especially since we know nothing about the third one...
Hey what if we make fShep the hero and Garrus the main character? Then in both cases we'd have Shepard explain to Garrus what she did before meeting up with him which would be told as an action flashback... that could work.

As soon as I've got all that sorted out ~I WILL DIRECT THIS PERSONALLY

[edit]Showing disjointed bits from different POVs and then bringing it all together doesn't sound like a good idea in my mind.  Too non-linear.  Would be very difficult to show that there's actually a plot going on.  Hmm, maybe it could be done but it would be a lot harder to do it well.  Best to stick with one primary POV and a few flashbacks when really necessary.

Some interesting thoughts from people here who don't seem to know anything about movie-making.



Some points:

1. The movie is not just for you. Bioware loves it's fans and players, but there are not enough of us to pay for a movie. The movie MUST appeal to (potentially) everybody. So, all the calls for a story that sets up or fleshes out the universe, but would obviously only make sense to a player of the game - not going to happen.



2. Movies take years to make and release. All that happened is that a company secured the rights to make a movie based on the ME game/story. No screenplay, no script, no director, no actors, no studio to relese it, no shooting schedule, no music, no editing, no nothing. It won't be out next summer, or even the following. And, if it goes the Halo route, it will languish forever waiting to get a greenlight from studio execs who don't even understand the concept of an RPG game.



3. "Don't use Shepard, because it won't be my Shepard"? Get over yourselves. It never was YOUR Shepard, he (yes, HE) belongs to Bioware, not you, and he must be the star of the movie because he is the "face" and star of the game. I don't understand the people who say they could not watch a character that might behave differently than they would have played him - and trust me, I LOVE these games, I get as lost in them, and Shep, as any of you...but I don't get the ownership issues, sorry.

I get what you mean, and I understand, and I am not even saying that I want Shepard in or out.  I think the movie could be good either way.  But the movie does not have to be associated with my game, your game, or anyone's game.  The movie can be separate telling of great story.  

I think non-fans and fans should give it a chance either way, watch it with an open mind, and then judge it.  Bottom line, I forget who said it, but Shepard is this franchise and will most likely be included.  I have read both books, and they are both good.  I agree that revelation would make a great movie, but I still think a movie based on shepard can be great regardless of our preconceptions.

What I meant about Star Trek was how the story was tweaked a bit.  Like Kirk's dad dieing when he was born, and how Spoc and Kirk hated eachother first.  I am not suggesting that Mass Effect start by going throuh a black hole, just that with some creativity it can be done.

What I want from the movie does not have to do with including Shepard or not to including him, just a solid story that is visually captivating.  Just a movie that fans and non fans will enjoy.  The Mass Effect universe is large enough for them to go any direction, and they will go the direction that they feel will make the most entertaining movie.  Because I tell you right I will see it, and if it's good then my wife won't complain that brought her along.

Agreed - If a movie wrecks your gameplay because it's not YOUR Shepard, then that's kind of narrow minded.
