What we know so far:

1. Miranda will be in ME3 in some form.
2. Her romance will have some kind of conclusion.
3. She has several scenes, per Mac Walters
4. Casey Hudson "hopes she's okay" implying some sort of trouble.
5. She "will have a large role" in ME3.

Possible endings for Miranda

(1) The Illusive Woman: Miranda takes over what remains of Cerberus and creates humanity's equivalent of the salarian STG from it.
(2) Into the Sunset: Miranda and Shepard lead an expedition into the unknown reaches of the galaxy, never to be seen again in Citadel space.
(3) The Foundation: Miranda inherits her father's fortune and uses it to develop Lazarus technology into something more widely available and develop other human enhancement technologies.

All are romance compatible. (2) requires a romance.

I have to ask,are these confirmed or what?

[snfonseka]

Probably not.

The "What is known" is derived from what Bioware people said at some time. 1. to 4. is compatible with the leaked script, 5. is not, though we hope for something more than what's in there since Miranda's part is noticeably incomplete.

The possible endings are speculation based on what was said by thread regulars at some time. Nothing at all is known about what epilogues might bring for Miranda, or even if there will be epilogues at all.

Thanks,I really hope she gets the attention she deserves.

[ThomGau]

Well, like Ieldra said, her part is quite incomplete .
The Key moments of Miranda's role in ME3 are missing from the leak.
Though I think she has a relatively more substantial presence in the leak than other characters . That could indicate that she will indeed have a large role, a role which had already been worked on a lot but was still far from being finished .

What was in leak was an in character Miranda but her presence was insubstantial and not particularly inspired imo. Hopefully that's because there was something big missing.

Well, a large role should mean a large screen presence. Miranda would be at the 10th place on the list, after Shepard and the eight members of Shepard's team who have an almost continuous presence but very likely before the other ME2 characters. Whether "a large role" is a fitting description for that is debatable. 

What I can see is a more independent plot impact for Miranda. Shepard's team is...well..Shepard's team and the decisions made therein are Shepard's decisions. Miranda *may* make decisions of her own that impact the endgame. At least I hope so.

[ThomGau]

When I said " large role ", I meant a relatively larger role than other ME2 characters, sorry for not pointing that out . Though I'm hopeful about her screen presence . Also I hope she will have a bigger impact in ME3 than most of other characters .
And yeah, as you said, her independance might one element which could contribute to that impact . She may or may not have prepared something on her own, for the final battle, without telling Shepard about it .

Miranda seems to have sort of a Liara-like role and a very LotSB-esque story-arc.
The best thing, only second to a permanent squadmate, would be MULTIPLE LotSB-type missions.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

So quick question to those of you who'd like to see a film adaptation of ME2. If Yvonne couldn't play the role in a film adaptation, which other actress do you think could portray a live action version of Miranda?

Personally I think Eva Mendes would pull it off perfectly, even though she isn't as pale as Miranda, she definitely pulls off the "perfect" look with ease and has pulled of a Miriresque attitude in the past.

Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter in the most recent Captain America movie). She can do icy, tough, and a softer side. Though I hope to never see Miranda on the big screen.

[CrutchCricket]

This may have been brought up before, but do any of you have "jump ship" conditions? Like if x happens, you're done with the character? I don't personally but I suspect some of you do.

Just a pure hypothetical.

She's a good pick, don't think I've seen her in anything, but looks like she could pull off the appearance of the character anyway.

I've said it before but I think Olivia Wilde could do Miranda justice IF she could do the accent. Someone else also suggested Rhona Mitra.

I reserve all  judgements till after  I play and finish the game  but  for the most my biggest jump ship is when  writers start handing out  the Idoit Ball for the sake of drama or any other reason.  If there is one thinging that drives me  up a wall is handing out the  Idoit Ball.   Especailly when you have character that has been shown to be smart and perceptive.

What's in the leak is definitely not going to cut it. However, there are some solid reasons to believe there will be more (degree of incompleteness, story logic, some meta-game requirements).

That's enough to put me in "neutral" mode for the moment, but they had some serious work to do on this to put it in the "acceptable" range.

I can live without Miranda being on the squad as long as meaningful screentime is not limited and the story is awesome. In truth, she should probably join up for part of the game, so that is already somewhat of a fail. Still, it is one I can accept, especially since it could be more or less in line with some of the scenarios we've suggested here.

Doesn't mean some half-*ss appearance is going to be ok, though. It has to be great.

If Jack becomes warm and motherly during her re-write in ME3 I'm done with her.
If Miranda suddenly becomes friendly and bubbly instead of her cold and calculating self, I'm done with her.
If Wrex becomes pacifistic.
If Kasumi becomes serious.
If Ashley tries to be the "hot girl."
If Kaidan tries to be cool.

I've got a few reservations, all revolving around people changing in their personalities without reason in their story. Its a hug pet peeve.

maybe because hollywood has the habit of screwing every videogame history (and character) in the movies.

Still got Milla Jovovich in a short red dress and high black boots, so I think we're breaking even.

I absolutely love everything about Rhona Mitra, but her look is too... untamed to do Miranda. She can do a "cold" character, but its a different kind than Miranda. Miranda's coldness comes from detachment stemming from calculation, the coldness I've seen Mitra portray comes from aloofness.

I pretty much got my dealbreaker in the initial draft of the script. Miranda reduced to a damsel in distress who does nothing and cares on;y about Oriana and Shep. If that were still true, she'd be dead to me.

[CrutchCricket]

It's true video game movies don't have a great track record. But hey it only needs to happen once. And Mass Effect is a good candidate, provided they get the original writing team, a good director and as many of the original cast as possible.
Another game that would be good under the same conditions is Half-Life

Oh, there are. Fortunately, it appears I won't have to disown Miranda. The condition would be Chickification. Miranda turning into a victim, a distressed damsel, or becoming overly sentimental and nothing more. Her competence reduced for the sake of drama, her independence gone.

And this:

Having said that, while I  *apparently* won't need to disown her, her presence as evidenced by the leaked script is very far from satisfactory. I admit to a great deal of trepidation.

thats mostly because the  Game developers   never had a lot of creative and monitary control over the  Film projects themselves.   Ubisoft just cut what many are calling a  big break in the games/movie   arena because they have almost complete control of the entire project.  

Always  and not make gamers want to admit this most games don;t have enough  plot to stand on there own with game plot and movie has to have that.

I'm too focused on ME3 itself to get infos on the ME movie . Is it currently being made now ? Have we got a release date ?
I'm quite sceptical about it, the past showed me that video-games and movies don't fit very well . Moreover, how could they transbribe one of the key aspect of ME as a video-game, the interactive choice, through a movie ?
Although Hudson's contribution may be a good sign regarding the quality of the product .
Seeing Miranda on the big screen could be a good thing but I'm very cynical about this . It could be very very disapointing in my opinion .
