LotSB, Shep is easily half the size of the Yahg but a femshep can still kick it's alien butt back to the shadows from whence it came, just like maleshep. Half the time you'll be seeing Shep in some slick armour anyway.



But, to say it again, no Shep. Better action star or no, 'canonizing' a certain Shep would just make it rather annoying for those who have played their Shep's a certain way. If it were at all based on the games, you might as well play it 'cause it's almost a friggin movie in its own right.



Movie based on ME 1, there are at least 4 major plot points that would polarise fans :

1) Rachni Queen

2) Wrex on Virmire

3) Survivor of Virmire

4) Destiny Ascension



Setting any one of these in stone means the actual story of Shep goes one way, and if someone plays any differently it's different from the actual story. Which shouldn't be the case because Shep's story is what the player wants it to be, that's been the beauty of Mass Effect.



So, Shep should not, and most likely will not, feature in the ME movie. The books do well without a Shep, the comics did well without giving Shep a gender (I've only read the comics, but the books seem to be well received), so why change the trend now?



Male Shep, default Shep, is marketing Shep. Same as mullet guy in Black Ops, same as Faith in Mirror's Edge. I am loathe to mention Fallout 3 here, but I shall because it helps the point I'm making, there is no 'face' of Fallout 3, and why is that? There's the BoS armour, but no gender, New Vegas has some trench coat person, but again no gender, because these games allow you to make your own character and your own story, kind of the same as Mass Effect, only for marketing purposes there's a face to the main character.



No shep. We may be forced to make a banner here.

If they want to make money out of it...it has to have male protagonist, if the studio is willing tu pump in some meaningful budget they cannot afford experimentations...

[robtheguru]

I have repeatedly said since finding out about the movie, no Shepard unless entirely CG so that the same voice actors can be used. Either way if I had to choose, Maleshep.

[Emperor Mars]

1. I dont think the movie should be based on the games.
2. Maleshep.

woo copy and paste cluster****!!

Males leads make more money in action/sci fi movies, not fair, I know, but the more money this movie makes, the more bioware makes, and that means better games coming faster.

No shep but if I had to choose it would be Femshep.

Just like my Shep is the best ever (his has orange hair, badass orange hair).

Well... Orange is cool. But does your Shepard have green eyes?











Seriously, though. If it wasn't for FemShep and Hale I would have given up ME long ago. Time to put her in the spotlight.

He has yellow eyes (wich are rarer).

Yeah, Mark Veer's voice is the best I've heard in any video game character. His voice matches with my custom Shep like water to powder iced tea.

I love Hale's voice for FemShep she's awesome at the role. Also just the way her voice burrs when it gets all sexy makes me go all gooey inside.

My Female Shepard has green eyes like me, I give her short hair though cause all the long hair options suck. None of them are like my hair but she has my nose, my lips and my jaw.

Still my stance is that the movie should be based on a new character because as I stated earlier the game is player centric and depends on the player what gender their character is and who the romance interest is.

Sarah Connor would also like a word with the person that suggested action/adventure films with female leads do not sell well...

Anyway, I love the aforementioned Liara prequel movie idea. I'd be first in line to see it!

In Terminator one she was the victim
In Terminator Two she wasn't the "lead" it certiantly wasn't Linda Hamiltons name on the marketing. It certiantly wasn't Linda Hamilton on the cover.... No it was "Arnie"....
In Terminator Three she was dead.

Sarah Connor Chronicles was axed ..... but thats not because of sarah conner ...that's fox being ****s... but still it wasn't a "action adventure FILM".. but an axed television series....

[LordPennlocke]

Male Shep.

I dont want Shep to be in the movie. It should show the events before the game. If they go around making a 'canon' version of ME before the story is concluded then many people will be... not happy with some of their choices. If I had to choose 1 it would be Female. Who doesnt like a badass female charecter?

I'd say Sarah was about as much the lead in T-2 as Arnie..

Alien is a great example of a popular series of films with a strong female lead.

Sci-fi TV shows with them include the afformentioned Sarah Conner Chronicles, Farscape (Aeryn was essentially at equal standing with John by the middle of the series run) Battlestar Galactica (the remade version) as Starbuck was the closest thing to a main character in that show. Caprica has Zoe Graystone etc etc

There's been a lot of movies/shows with strong female leads that have done extremely well.  Anyone that says female leads in action/sci-fi films don't bring in the viewers is simply wrong..

[uttaus]

If Shep is in it.... A female, but only if they get Jennifer Hale to over dub the actress's voice. IF they can't make that happen then any old male actor will do I suppose.

[Code_R]

It WILL be a male shep. Purely for financial reasons. Look at ALL the marketing for the games - no femshep. Plus potential Liara LI plot would not be allowed by mainstream film producers.

[FuturePasTimeCE]

default sheperd's eyes are green or blue or both?

[GodWood]

neither

[Zenyxia]

I prefer Male Shepard.

[Dr. Laxslax]

Disregarding all story aspect, genders in movies, and target audience, you have to realize that Bioware's two goals with the movie is to 1) appeal to ME fans, but also 2) expose ME to people unfamiliar with the game AND to appeal to them so that they'd go out and buy the game(s).

That being said, it is absolutely redundant to have it based off the game. I can't remember where I got this, but I read that they plan to release the movie around the same period as ME3, which makes me think that the movie might relate to ME3's timeline, maybe in another part of the galaxy (hence: mention and glorification of Shepard). This last bit is what I think will attract new players into the game if they do this path--they will want to be this godly being called Shepard and fill in the blanks to what Sheaprd actually did.

Besides, isn't the game really cinematic already? What's the point in making a movie adaptation of the game when what we will see is basically the game, but without the dialogue wheel?

For the $$$ <_<

[DenisLaMinaccia]

It will be male shepherd, but I would prefer femshep. Canonic my ass!

[lost lupus]

if we must have a shep (i say andersons back story from the novel is a better idea)

it must be male shep why?
because i dont want big lip angalina jolie
play shep and thats got a 95% chance of happening if they went with a shelia

but people need to face facts
the game has a cannon sheps a male solider and a paragon (bunnys and group hugs all arround)
the only thing we still cannot be sure of is his backstory

Neither.

I wanna see an exploitation film starring Blasto the Jellyfish. Filmed in "Cinemaphonic Quadrovision."

edit: But since that's not going to happen, Ten bucks says Michelle Roderguiz gets cast as Ash.

He was. But I'm still holding out hope for Blasto.

Matthew Fox?

Do you have a source that isn't based on fan speculation, since everything I've heard about him filling the role of Shepard has been fueled by rumour, not anything official.

I had a source but i lost it.

It's from some webpage that has a movie database, don't know if it's official.

IMDB? You know that's user-edited, right?
