Rtas Vadum Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 They'll leave 'em out. Either that, or they'll just leave out the mono-gendered aspect, leaving those watching the movie get seriously shocked, should they every feel the need to find out(though I don't know how jarring of an aspect it is, or could be, as it doesn't bother me). Liara is a part of the game's plot, and I believe would have to carry over into the movie, unless they come up with some stupid reason why Shepard could get clearer visions by him/her-self. If anything, they might leave out Tali, unless, again, she is needed for the information about Saren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Given the advances in CGI and sfx, no reason to leave any of the aliens out of the game. I'm guessing this could go either way, depending on who's tapped to do it. Though the field is littered w/more disappointments than not....

JediAthos Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 If they can put a decent director behind it and a good script it might work....I couldn't care less about it not being "my" Shepard so that wouldn't bother me. As far as other video game movies anything with Uwe Bol's name on it should be exempt because he's a train wreck of a film maker. I didn't think the Resident Evil movies were too horrible nor did I think the Tomb Raider movies were abysmal either and both franchises did pretty well box office wise I think, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

ZimmMaster Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I think I will start the who should be the Commander Shepard in the movie discussion. My suggestion: Mark Vanderloo because he looks a hell of a lot like him Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I've never really liked the default Shephard. He looks more like a henchman to a Russian mafia boss than an American space commander war hero dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadille Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 I think I will start the who should be the Commander Shepard in the movie discussion. My suggestion: Mark Vanderloo because he looks a hell of a lot like him Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) That's because Shepard is modeled after him In addition to his work in the fashion industry, Vanderloo's likeness is currently in use as the default model for Commander Shepard in the video games Mass Effect, and Mass Effect 2 for Xbox 360 and PC.

Prime Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 So is the whole movie just going to be driving around empty wastelands? Sounds really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 This is goddamn ridiculous... I could have been ok with it if it hadnt included shepard, but this seems like every other game-based movie, and a bad one too cause of the options you as a player have in the game. This will turn out to be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimmMaster Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 That's because Shepard is modeled after him Well that explains it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I personally think that if it involves Shepard, they need to cast someone who both looks like Mark Vanderloo (likeness) and sounds like Mark Meer (voice). Or just get Mark Meer to shave his head and put on some muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarwarz Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Heres while it will succeed...BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk will serve as executive producers, as will Mass Effect executive producer Casey Hudson Why most game movies suck you got some old ancient producer who knows nothing about games and add there own weak ideas.. They don't stick to format therefore everything ends up bad. in all game to movies they need to have the original game producers to to smooth out bad ideas that kill the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 If they can put a decent director behind it and a good script it might work.... Lets keep Brett Ratner and Bryan Singer away from it then...[/bitter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it him if they HAVE to do the movie lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniVidiVicous Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My initial reaction to a Mass Effect film isn't very optimistic. I think if they stay away from Commander Shepard's character I think it might have a chance. Can anyone confirm whether they are using Shepard?? I think I will start the who should be the Commander Shepard in the movie discussion. My suggestion: Mark Vanderloo because he looks a hell of a lot like him Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Personally I hated this default Shepard appearance because it looked more like a hollywood actor than someone in the military.

Samuel Dravis Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Anyone else notice the creative flipping going on in those pictures? Just sayin'. Also, it isn't going to be by Uwe Boll, which means it will be at the very least watchable for explosions. Bring on the movie goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralPloKoon Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I sure would love to see a Mass Effect movie....thats good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Along with Mark Vanderloo...Dominic Purcell also has some likeness of Shepard. I think either of these two actors would be a good fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
