Who, Keira Knightley or Jack?

Google says 5'7" for the former, whilst Jack isn't very small to be fair, about the male Shepard's height, at least.

-edit. After taking a look at a cutscene to be certain...she's actually, maybe, four inches shorter. So assuming Shepard is around 6'0"...

She's only 5'7"?   she must seem so much taller because Natalie Portman is so much shorter.  She's like 5'2" or something.

I'd also like to add myself to the no Meghan Fox camp.  Talent must be added to similarity in looks please.

There has been a rumor floating around since 1 came out that Hollywood wants to do a movie...But since the game is so movie-like I'd think it was a bad idea.

3 season television series on a cable station would be a much better option:P

Just as an amendment: at least a 3-season cable series on a cable station willing to put a decent budget behind it and willing to take a hands-off approach so as to let the creators/writers stay true to the franchise.  Which counts out just about every cable network, unfortunately.  I'm going to single out SyFy (What the heck were they thinking with that name anyway?) in particular as one of the worst examples of cost-cutting and meddling.  Look at the hatchet job they did on the Stargate franchise and Galactica.  Sheesh.

One of these DLCs is bound to have a similar-vibe gear for Shep... so I forsee a lot of new CSI-themed stuff cropping up over the coming months. Shep-shades will result in Caruso-alikes being made... oh God, I can barely bring myself to think about it...

Can I hear a Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh?

As for ME - Teh Movee, I think it's a foregone conclusion eventually. I mean, to hell with quantum probability, they made a movie of ****ing Doom. That thing had a plot a six year old can pick holes in, and that was before a bunch of useless, overpaid, no-talent hacks started penning a 'screenplay' for it. The studios, being the studios, will pick whatever cheap-ass talentless it-boi to play Shep, and a solid group of character actors to play his posse to make sure the whole thing looks acceptable to the casual (read lazy) critic (see Clash of the Titans remake) and it'll make a ****load of bank because it'll have kickass SFX and toss all substance, but at the end of the day it'll be too derivative in content (no fault of the game - this'll come down squarely to the ****rags they pay to "write" it) and they'll never get a sequel out of it, so we'll never (thankfully) get to see how much of a balls-up they make of Jack.

I mean, movie-Jack would probably be played by Michelle Rodriguez (because the poor cow gets hauled in whenever a script says 'tough girl' in it... she could be ****ing Shakespearian-trained and we'll never know thanks to the casting monster constantly shafting her like a ten-dollar ***** at the end of saturday night) and would never end up with Shepard, and would always die at the second door because movie-Shep'll be banging much-more-photogenic-Miranda (but she'll still make a deathbed love confession there to prove she had more than two dimensions for the mentally-subnormal popcorn chewers that pay to see mindless dross like Avatar because it has, like, 95% more pew-pew-lazors, and like, a plot that shames saturday morning cartoons alone, like, rilly), after banging Ash (because no-one but Kirk is desperate enough to bang alien broads it seems). Tali fans will burn down Man's Chinese, the internet backlash will resemble a rainforest on fire, etc. Trust me, we'll be happier with just the game.

Quantum probabilities - it'll happen sooner or later no matter how outlandish, but it'll be just like this, mark my Nostrodamus-like words

No, don't say that Mondo! I refuse to believe it! We can stop this from happening if we just... believe hard enough...

[Merc-SS]

Jack was one character that went with me everywhere. She is one of the, if not the best squad member, imo. At least with me, she didn't die compared to the other person chosen.



Plus, I like her rough attitude.

I don't think I remember where half of them are... I've written some in other threads for quick jokes and I've forgotten where they were. Stuff floating in the ether no-one will ever see again... electronic epitaphs in an overgrown digital graveyard.

Fun fact: during my sentinel playthrough, I took her with me most of the times and she was the squad member who was more likely to die.
During my new infiltrator playthrough instead, it's always the other member who dies! Could it be a matter of game style? I admit that now I'm so busy at taking aim for headshots that I let the game AI handle my squad members, while during my sentinel playthrough I tended to babysit them all the time (go there, attack this, attack that, use this power and so on).

Ha! I made the error of starting from page one instead of working backwards... I have though just been laughing at our Uber-Troll assault. You really can't beat a pseudo-intellectual that flogs a dead horse of an argument that is based purely on personal bias right up to the point where they stop trying and resort to flinging crap about like an angry chimp because they can see they're gone too far and aren't irritating anyone anymore. Why can't we have trolls like that anymore? I love it when they hang themselves in public

Jack & Miranda - Auto(mobile) Erotica: Pg 46 (the very first 'deleted scene')

Got an odd idea... what about Natalia Tena?  I don't know how good she would look bald...but as an actor I like her.

[Chaos-fusion]

Heh, discussing actressess/actors has me totally out of my dpeth here, as someone who very rarely sits infront of a tv.. But my preferred option would be nobody. I hate the idea of a ME movie based on the games. Anything else in the ME universe, fine, just as long as Sheperd isn't in it, or refence to as - inluding, but not limited to - white, dark haired, male, or with a bad attitude (as any movie/game lead seems to be..)

Anyway, my "Take JackEverywhere" playthrough is on hold right now. I probably shouldn't have picked a vanguard to take Jack, and Jacob everywhere. It's leaving me terribly undiverse in the squad skills department. Quick question to you all; What class do you prefer to play when using Jack? and why? I'm thinking I'll start again as a sentinel, but I'd like your thoughts first. :happy:

I always like to have at least one source of lift. Any biotic squadmate (except Miranda because she doesn't have lift or throw) compliments any class that doesn't have biotics. But I always bring Jack with me anyway .

[royceclemens]

Infiltrator (which is my chosen class anyway). She, Tali and her combat drones lure them out of cover and I pick 'em off.



As for the prospect of a Mass Effect movie, it is possible. A GREAT Mass Effect movie is also possible... In about ten or fifteen years.



That way a director will have been young enough to play the game when he was a kid. The same way with the executives and financiers. They'll take it seriously enough not to screw with it too much and give the games the treatment they deserve.



Any sooner and we'll have yet another entry in the saga of sad-assed video game movie screw-ups that include Max Payne shooting at angels for no apparent reason, and Timothy Olyphant blowing stuff up in a movie based on a game where the point was NOT to blow anything up.



The crop of producers we have now in Hollywood, they think they can string together a bunch of explosions and call it a video game movie because, well, that's what they think of video games. They have an assistant play the game, the assistant gives them their notes and they form an effects budget accordingly.



It's prudent that we wait until the people who consider video games a dramatic medium are in positions of authority. Until then, it's just too soon.

[Urdaniel]

Actually had to look up who Natalia Tena was.    That done, I don't know how well she'd do; I've seen most of the Harry Potter movies but she didn't exactly register on my radar, sorry.

As for which class I use on a Jack-and-whoever-else playthrough, I stay with a Vanguard (which, incidentally, is also  the class I first chose when my MeerShep decided to pursue Jack as an LI).  Currently in the middle of a first-playthrough Insanity Vanguard actually;  yeah I'm a glutton for punishment - but I've played the game through enough times that I'm a little bored and needed a challenge.  As for my reasons, well someone on this thread (forgot who, sorry) mentioned that they saw Shep/Jack as a Battle Couple and I agree.  They'd be up-close-and-way-too-personal handing out beatdowns, which is pretty much Vanguard territory.  Now I'm not saying that any other class would be contraindicated for that particular trope, but to my mind there's a nice bit of symmetry in using a Vanguard.  Although there's also a certain flair to an Infiltrator-Jack combo: Jack holds em by the nose and Shep kicks em in the pants.  The one problem I have with this is that Jack is distressingly squishy in close combat;  I find it a little easier to keep her alive when my Shep is drawing most of the fire.  Just my two cents.

[Booglarize]

The big problem I have with the idea of video game movies (especially for role-playing games) is that a large chunk of the games' value derives not from their narrative, but from the feeling of experiencing it firsthand through the game - and as such if they had to operate on narrative alone, I don't think they'd do nearly as well.

I have to say that, even when it comes to my absolute favourite games of all time (with maybe one exception), if you were to remove the latter aspect and just present the game's narrative in movie form, I'd probably end up feeling quite underwhelmed, even if the acting and directing were good. I think it's roughly similar to the way games based on movies generally aren't anything noteworthy even if the movies themselves were decent. 

Now don't get me wrong, I love Mass Effect dearly... I just don't think the narrative holds up that well on its own - it isn't quite up to the task in terms of what it would take to make a great movie. Although, if the movie were simply set in the same universe, but was otherwise unrelated (or tangentially related) to the events of the games, I think that might have potential...

[Jackal904]

I think the story in Mass Effect is significantly better than most movies.
But on a different topic. You ever wonder what Jack is talking about when you call her up to your cabin and she sits on your lap? I figured it would be something like...

Jack: ".....So then I slammed this guy's head against the wall and the whole side of his face caved in and his eyes were dangling out of his skull and...."

Shepard:

lol, Jackal.  Yeah it does make my mind itch wondering what she's going on about as Shep sits there with a bemused look on his face.  

[drunken pyromaniac]

Just thought I would drop by to show support for Jack. I created a SingleShep specifically for her upon her reveal.
