Haha yea KG, I'm torn as well.
I want BK as Garrus if they cast him... but I really don't want the ME movie to be about Shepard. T.T
A Shepard story would be less than ideal in many ways. However, if they make a non-Shepard Mass Effect movie, I still believe they should bring the game squaddie VAs in as extras and cameos as a nod to the game's fans. That's what I think. 
You know what, if they actually did as you say, and:
1) DIDN'T use ANY of the characters from the games, unless they were minor characters, skillfully-integrated and -employed as cameo nods to the players for a quick laugh or so
2) Used FLAWLESS CGI or whatever else they are going to use for TOTAL immersion
3) Made the story as epic/space opera-y and well-written as the story in ME1, and
4) Didn't screw up the movie in the myriad other ways a video game-inspired movie can be screwed
then yes! I would definitely endorse it!

My main fear is the thing gets made, and it's an absolute joke of a movie like so many others, and everyone who knows how crazy I am about this universe would look at me like I was a nitwit and how could I ever like something so dumb anyway?? I don't care so much how they would look at me actually, but if they regard the franchise as being crap based on a crap movie, I think that would make me bang my head against the wall. True, I don't need anyone's approval to love the games, but it's disheartening to say the least to think of something like that happening.
