Sorry, but I really, really dont want a movie made of mass effect.

Why exactly? I never understood this, why do some people hate the fact that there is a movie being made out of a game or a book or whatever. Does it ruin your game somehow or do you think that it will ruin the whole franchise?
I agree that most games to movies are really bad and movies to games are even worse but it could be done right.
I kinda dont want to say this, but no one is forcing you to go spend your money and watch something you dont want to watch.

The movie will use the plot of the first game because more people are at least a little familiar with that story rather than what's in the books. The game did a fantastic job setting up the universe.



Shepard will be male because all of the game's marketing says Shepard is male and most audiences, like it or not, are much more comfortable with a male action star.



The movie will not "invalidate" your Shepard any more than the game's marketing does. You still have your Shepard saved on your computer or Xbox and he or she isn't going anywhere. Chill.



Uwe Boll won't direct the movie. Who actually thinks that that's a possibility?



Video game movies have been awful in the past, but consider the source material. It's not like Tomb Raider or Prince of Persia are anywhere near the same league of storytelling in Mass Effect.



Also, Mark Vanderloo is way too old to play Shepard. The studio will take a safer route and cast a bankable, established action star.

[cachx]

why not have Mark Vanderloo play the actor, but Mark Meer do the voice?

Because it would look like an old Kung-fu movie. Or that dude from Police Academy .

oh yean? so you know everything about movies and studios, thanks mr. productor of movies.

Way too old? WTF the guy is 42! they mak ron perlman look like a 30 year old monster...wtf? they even made sean bean appear in a movie right now when he is a older.

You know I didn't know they made Ron Pearlman look like a 30 year old monster. I mean 1st of all Hellboy was introduced during WW II then picked up current day but still you could tell he was 30 by looking at him. 
And last time I checked Sean Bean isn't Elderly and can "appear in a movie" without any assistance. Like they said Vanderloo isn't bankable in America and that what Hollywood cares about.

Ron Pearlman wasn't playing a human in the Hellboy movies. Anybody can sit in a makeup chair for a few hours and look like a 30-year-old monster. The actor playing Shepard wouldn't be playing a monster, he'd be playing a human. All I'm saying is that the studio will not cast an unknown actor as the lead in a big-bidget action flick and Vanderloo's age certainly doesn't help his cause, either. Like I said before, the whole point of making action movies is to sell tickets. The average filmgoer doesn't care who Mark Vanderloo is.

Why can't movie Shepard be femshep?

Preposterous!

[Eyeshield21]

game to movie might work with Uncharted, since it seems like a movie but a Mass Effect movie? bioware needs to make the story but not the game, it just wont work, Bioware's story brilliance should be in the movie, but just don't let hollywood break it.

You two guys are so clever that you didn't even get my point.
let me be a bit more clear for you:
Ron Perlman - 60 yrs old, a bit fat. ----gets and awesome six pack and the face of a younger man
Sean Bean - 51 yrs old, he lost his physic ----- is the protagonist of the new serie "The game of Thrones"
Mark Vanderloo --- 42 yrs old. has the physique (not only the face, also the body). no need to enhance for a movie ---your response : "no" ...you guys are just whiny kids that want your shepards to appear in the movie..everyone knows that this is NOT possible. what could be possible is to choose the guy after who WAS MODELLED commander shepard.
Oh, and for your information, mr. movie producer, IF THE PHACKING MOVIE IS GOOD IT WILL SELL, IS NOT ABOUT WHO WORKS ON IT, -its about how good it is

take the case of james cameron..who knew sam worthington? no one man, as it is for me, never heard of that guy before avatar, at least i've heard of mark vanderloo, by model agencies or even by mass effect itself.
the fact is that james cameron knows how to do a movie...thats why he sells more than anyone out there.

According to the ME universe timeline, Shepard was born in 2154 and the events take place in 2183. That puts Shepard at around 29 or 30 years old. Vanderloo may have Shepards face and a strong build, but he still looks his age. Even if he was younger, he wouldn't be able to carry an action flick because he's a model and not an actor. If you were to stand outside a movie theater and ask people if they know who Mark Vanderloo is, you'd get a whole lot of "no." Do the same with someone like Sam Worthington, and you'll get a much different response.

You and I may know who he is, but the avergage person most likely doesn't. That, along with his age, is why he probably won't be cast as Shepard.

James Cameron was able to cast Worthington (who had already been appearing in films and television since 2000) because his movies have grossed billions of dollars. Cameron has a "golden ticket" in Hollywood and can do whatever he wants.

Also, I'm not "whining" that my Shepard won't appear in the movie. More often than not, I play as the default Shepard because I'd rather play the game rather than waste time tinkering with my appearence.

All I'm saying is what's likely to happen in the film. Nobody's right or wrong in wanting this guy or that guy to play Shepard, but the likelihood is a younger, more recognizable actor will play Shepard.

There is no way in hell they are going to cast Vanderloo as Shepard in the movie, if they use Shepard at all. If you actually need the reasons why explained to you, you're probably too dense to understand anyway.

Also, for the record, posting videos of him prancing around like a sissy in tighty-whities is not the best argument for casting him as a galactic badass in a major Hollywood film.

(small clarification; I am not a Vanderloo hater or anything, seems like a pretty cool guy from what little I know about him, but COME ON)

That has to be the single dumbest statement ever made. I know english not your native language but think before you speak.

No movie please. Now a Gears movie....

[Destroy Raiden_]

I don't like the idea of them making an ME live action movie I actually hate it so far we've gotten:

Dead or Alive
Final Fantasy Spirits within - though originally it was suppose to be set in the FF world but they took away the mana and the whole life and death save the world thing it ended up being a space drama w/ no relationship whatsoever to what FF has been.
Resident Evil (original, apocalypse, extinction, and afterlife) - main character is literally playing 12 people at the same time they just wiped them out and gave her all their traits.
Street Fighter

All those where bad. They were all one of those, " This game is soooo cool they should make it into a movie!" and when they did they morphed characters contradicted themselves or where taken out completely, the plots changed from being what the gamers loved into being what will the masses comprehend and in the case of FFSW it was so hideous in plot and character changes/ exclusions they had to make another FF movie just to stop the rioting the fans were promising.

So more better script, character, and universe sticking movies

Final Fantasy Advent children
Silent Hill
Resident Evil: Degeneration

Yes somethings needed changing between all three. Even SH changed little things like in SHmovie they pulled the plot of the 1st game, switched the main characters gender, and used the ending they had from SH2 game for the movies ending. But as a fan I could see why no normal audience would go to the movies to see a male lead roll screaming and desperately looking for his daughter w/o guns and explosions all over the place. And SH game ending was a little odd if you got the good one so using SH2's ending was utilized well here. The worlds we knew where there, the characters we knew were there, the plot as we knew it was there, and any special effects or powers characters where known to have were there.

If ME does a CG movie that keeps Shepard and crew how we know them with limited contradictions, keeps it in the world we know ie fighting the reapers or saren + reapers, and can keep the myth and lore with very little compromise then I would see it and at least wait until the credits rolled before I either jump for joy or want to murder whoever came up with it. ( and for the oh so sensitives, that last part was a joke. though I would be pretty disappointed and mad.)

If they somehow managed to do a live action movie and keep what I said above then why shouldn't either the man who voices shep or the man his face is modeled after play him? Meer might actually bring life into a live Shep sense his actions will also show the character's state of mind I may not be a fan of his voice in 1 and 2 but in SB he's starting to bring that inflection and emotion in so I'm willing to give him an on screen try.

A movie is not good because brad pitt is on it (FOR EXAMPLE) ....the movie is good because what brad pitt says and what brad pitt does is well done.
so, don't be an ****. Avatar was a good movie because of James Cameron and the guy who made the scripts and the special effects. Sam Worthington just did what he was told to...but the movie was not good because "he " was on it.

Now thats the funniest thread I've read, A Grammar **** from someone who can barely speak English. Spelling aside "The One Who Wrote the script" Was also James Cameron as far as your little analogy with Brad Pitt guess what the man does possess a modicum of Talent therefore disproving your own statement. As Far as Sean Bean one question " Is he playing a 30 year old man or not?' if he is then I'm wrong, if not STFU. Yes older people can still do action but can they play a 29-  year-old person? Hell no. And I'll say it Again NO ONE KNOWS WhoTF MARK VANDERLOO IS, he is not getting the job Point blank. He's got as much a shot at being Sheppard or anyone else other then a extra as I do.

Don't you mean the second game, given more kiddies played that due to it receiving more marketing and being more geared towards the prevailent shooter-crowd?

[MrMcCheeky]

I wouldn't mind a Shepard movie, actually. So long as it wasn't an exact copy from the story of the games. What i propose is the Shepard origin story.

Obviously, it makes more sense to base a film around the 'colonist' origin, as it has the most film material. The film could be about the advanced technology of man, with all of the same mental values since cavemen. Are we really ready for alien communication? Shepard serves as the representative of humanity as a whole. I have a nice time imagining a femshep for this role, but hey, no flaming, it is very debatable. I believe this would give both gamers and outside audiences a treat, as it is completely new, and outside audiences can experience the citadel for the first time and sit in awe... Just as we did. Okay, i know this has totally strayed from the point, so i'll give an opinion.

Since it may be years before we get our Mass Effect film, i say we give Channing Tatum a shot. In years, he will mature a little, and have much more experience from the films. Sure, i just went for it because he looks like shep, but hey, there are much worse choices out there. I'll thank Mark Vanderloo for his face, not the character.

[FFinfinity1]

Lol, they tried filming and then dubbing it before, its not always a success

i.e. The Room

[MrMcCheeky]

Oh, and one more thing: If we go for a renegade Shepard, It's Vin Diesel. All the way. For me, there is no substitute.
