I would rather see first contact war. Or no movie at all, actually. I have a nasty suspicion that they're going to make it maleshep centric, which would be fine, (Even though I would personally prefer fem) because, let's face it, he's a cool action guy. But you just know they're going to flub it up somehow. They'll make some weird change to the plot or one of the characters, because that's what they do with movies, and the masses will be outraged. We're a touchy lot.



Off the top of my head I can't think of any game movie that I particularly like, at least not taken in the context of whatever game they're based off of.

[CARL_DF90]

Since they are making the movie I would go with male Shepard. I always do in the game. Of course, they could always ask for the fan community to vote on the matter but maybe that's hoping for too much.

[Fancando]

If it were done by James Cameron, female definetly!
If by someone else, just cast Sam worthington, the guy looks like a video game character anyway and looks like male Sheppard even more.

With all the stats being thrown around, I wonder if someone from Bioware would oblige with the stats for how many players completed the game with which Shep. Having a character is all good and well, but finishing the game with a character is a different thing.



80% of players having a male Shep is obviously possible, many people have multiple Shep's. The breakdown of how many players finished with which Shep would be a far more interesting and indicative stat.



But anyway, back to the main argument, there shouldn't be a Shep in the movie, or at least not a leading role for Shep simply because too many people have differing views of Shepard. To bring in a 'canon' Shepard would be counter-intuitive especially since they'd already gone as far as to leave Shep genderless in the comics. Why change the story now?



The first contact war would be interesting, and it'd fulfill the typical sci-fi demands.. *sigh* Cool alien ships, brave humans fighting against a superior foe. Explosions, sacrifice, heroism! Commonly visited themes, though I think there haven't been too many sci-fi movies recently or coming soon, so competition and inevitable comparisons may be light.



Though I can think of no better way to introduce the Mass Effect universe to a greater audience, beginning with humanity's first step into the wider galaxy. Wasn't the contact war started by humanity's 'unauthorized' use of a mass relay?



No tl;dr. Read it, or don't.

[Miths]

NoShep, please. If they insist, FemShep.

[Jebel Krong]

christian bale as john shepard.

people arguing for femshep or noshep are forgetting that brand recognition is important to a. get the project made and b. to sell it to the casual audience who will bring in the money. a mass effect movie done right won't exactly be cheap - so using a "known" actor and sticking to the default template (male, most likely soldier) is the most sensible option.

NoShep. The Mass Effect universe has a rich enough history and possible stories that they don't need to rehash Sheps story, which also is open ended. How much fun would it be for the Renegades to see a Paragon Shep for example? Or for the FemSheps to see a MaleShep? Bad idea to make a Shep Effect movie.

most of the time i would be extremely pessimistic about one of my favorite game franchises being made into a movie, but seeing LP's previous work, i can allow myself to have some hope that it won't suck that badly.

[Ross42899]

I wish for an Female Shepard.
IMO there are not enough female action heroes around. The only ones I can rember of at this moment are Sigourney Weaver in the "Alien" Movies, Angelina Jolie in "Tomb Raider" and  some other movies, and Mila Jovovich in "Resident Evil" and some other movies
.
But unfortunately it will be a male Shepard if Shepard appears in the Movie.

[Kreid]

My 2 cents.
Male Shepard, I do like strong female characters like Ripley but I think ManShep would do better for a Hollywood movie

Honestly I hope the movie is a prequel of Mass Effect or a way of branching ME 2 and ME 3 together, and that whe see it tru the eyes of another character.



If that doesn't happen, I think MaleShep, mostly because he featured in most of the marketing.

[Jane Shepard]

No Shepard at all!!! It's my opinion...

Everyone has his/her own Commander Shepard. Well for me it's ONLY female. Also I think that in someways the game is already like a movie.

First contact war could be a very interesting movie I think

case and point

Bloodrayne
Ultraviolet
aeon flux
that movie they called street fighter
Charlies angels
Catwoman
Elektra


i could go on but hopefully u see my point

[Severyx]

Male Shep for sure. That's the face that gets on the game covers, so there's no reason why a canon movie would have femshep.

[century_killa]

If they make a movie based off mass effect 1 or just Shepard I want a Female Shepard. Because we need more female heroes and I vote for Mila Jovovich! On my side, I believe she will be a PERFECT Commander Shepard. She’s a good actor she’s strong, looks like she can fight, she’s not too hot and let’s face it the resident evil movies she was in were just epic! So she’s badass as it is… lol



But if they base the movie off The First Contact War, I’ll like to hear the story of Ashley’s grandfather, and T.I.M. Oh and I bet Garrus’s grand pappy was there too. XD

I say the first contact was will be perfect on the 3D screen. Or they can just make a CGI movie. Lol

IDK I’m just hoping for a female Shepard either way, no biotics!

Yeah but Mila Jovovich is a great actor! have you seen her in resident evil!?! and true those women actors you said are terrible but Mila is AWSOME

from what i see (not you) guys who hate women actors are guys who can't handle a women in charge and just see it silly. i agree on that part but only women who look like porn stars or ****s or just plain out cute or just weak looking! (for example the women you named). and im a guy! but mila is just PERFECT as commander shepard

[MrnDvlDg161]

I don't understand this strange idea of " No Shep". If there is " No Shep" --- then no movie. That doesn't make sense what so ever because people would want to see those characters in the movie --- why have a faceless movie talking about battles and history no one can relate to because its not connected with the game?



Defeats the purpose of an ME Movie.



I think the reason why no one wants Shepard used is because they have their own version of Shepard s in their mind and they don't want it messed with lol

[Revan312]

It should star this guy, not shep..



He's the only one capable of stopping the reapers, period, I have no clue how Shep will do it in ME3 without Chuck.. I fear for the Norrisless future

I think the women in them taking on guys twice or more their size and winning is unbelievable - which automatically puts the movies at a disadvantage, the people who direct and write them make up the other 65% of suck.

At least with arnie, stallone, jet li, statham etc look like they stand a fight. Mila Jovovich i find is the worst, she's thinner than a pencil yet im to believe she can go around beating up people 3 times her size.  I can fully believe small guys like Bruce Lee being able to do it, they are nothing but muscle.. but Mila Jovovich.. no way.  If they at least worked to build up muscle to something say olympic runner level etc then it would help a lot.


MaleShep - its canon and chances are you'll find a better actionstar for it. 



Another point, paragorn, renegade or a mix. Would you pick different shepards if you knew which way they where going to protray Shep?   For a mix I would do with Jason Statham. He's a good actor and good action star.

Women taking on guys in hand to hand combat sure, a bit unrealistic.  Thankfully shepard pretty much solely uses guns.  Guns even the playing field so a femshep, imo, wouldn't be any less realistic than a maleshep..  This isn't Mass Effect: The MMA Chronicles.

[Zuranamee]

We vote no Shep.

[Whatever42]

You also have to remember that femshep would be cybernetically enhanced.



But I agree that if there was a Shepard in the movie (and there won't be) then Bioware is unlikely to reverse over three years of maleshep marketing. And while I do think a woman can make a good star in an action film, I don't think femshep is a character that would sell as well on the big screen.

[tanarri23]

I'd prefer no Shep.
