  • Oh My God

    it is the truely best day ever

  • lol imagine if the film was interactive xD and people could vote upon discicions and changed the film .... would be awesome

  • I agree with her, I would love seeing a Fem-Shep commander (being a female gamer myself). You can bet it'll be a male though. I can't imagine Hollywood being that progressive. Also, while thrilled about the movie, I've never seen a good game-movie conversion.

  • Thor? I am Legend? Ah fuck...why couldn't they name some decent films?

    The problem being there's no single director or script writer who could bring to life the epicness needed. At least no one who hasn't dropped the ball at some point.

  • Mass Effect will be a Male...as much as females may hate it there is a much bigger fan base for John Shepard...it just seems right for a male even considering the covers have had HIM on it.

  • Comment removed

  • FUCK NO NOT A FEMSHEP ! Male Shepard is the real mass effect

  • I want my Wrex sized popcorn bucket that I was promised~!!!

  • why not just make a really cool cgi movie.

  • it always felt that the mass effect games leaned on a more male side of the story, you know the tough, heroic, enduring and venerated character, like Han Solo was in Star Wars. Not saying a woman coudnt feel the same, but if Shepard was to be something like an assassin, or and engineer, a fem-shep would lean itself to that role more nicely than the alternative soldier or vanguard.

  • i was once a commander like you, until i took a reaper to the knee

  • They already have.... Tron

  • Hell, there wouldn't be any trouble casting people. Just get the friggin' people from the game. And give the role of Ashley to Katie Sackhoff. Who could be better? Ashley is very similar to Starbuck but not the same of course. That's my solution and I'm stickin' to it.

  • Why not have an animated show like the Clone Wars? Give those people who make the Clone Wars some more work! They deserve it.

  • Comment removed

  • Damn she's hot. And the fact that she plays Mass Effect makes her 10 times hotter.

  • female shepard? hmmmm... no...

  • right. heres what has 2 happen director either

    james cameron - king of sci-fi

    ridley scott - also king of sci-fi

    steven speilberg - king of war movies, also good at makin sci-fi movies

    the actor for john shepard has to be strong (doesnt have 2 be too strong), and look like a boss so christian bale or clive owen.

    then the film should be a far better, more epic futuristic version of battle: los angeles with a better story

  • and Halo DOESNT HAVE deep story????

  • this might be a question already answered but... is the movie going to be played by actual people or are they going to make it using animations?

  • In ME you were surpposed to play as a Make Shep, but since it's an RPG you get to make your own Choises on what Gender to play as and what class etc.. So it be better if there was a Male Shep in the Movie, it's gonna be awesome I got to tell you that the ME3 Demo brought a tear to my eye.

  • 2 things to say

    I am Legend and Thor sucked

    and i was dissapointed by the mass effect 3 graphics it looked nothing like the trailer.

  • @Dittomark101 u r a downer, cheer up.

  • @king9325 i cant i was really let down thats twice (cod MW3)

  • @Dittomark101 well don't worry about it just play the game you like, really like or love

  • The reason why everyone is choosing a female Shepard is because of feminism. I am not good with the details but I think it is because Bioware or something keeps on giving the MaleShepard the spotlight and leaving FemaleShepard in the dark. No hate against any of it. I just consider it kind of childish for people to fight over a game character. I guess woman and some men out there feel that there is feminism in this. AGAIN, no hate. That means don't send comments that are insulting.

  • @HenryinART well men mostly play games and it is mostly for male shepard.

  • Im pretty sure its gonna be the Male Sheperd. He is on the case.

  • FEMSHEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • They fucked up RE if they do it to MassEffect I fuckin kill someone

  • First of all, FUCK MASS EFFECT!!!!! Seriously!!! WHY MASS EFFECT!!!!!! HALO DESERVES A FUCKING MOVIE!!!! NOT MASS EFFECT!!!!!!!

  • @MRInterception118 Nah Halo is for pencil-dicked assmasters sry dude

  • @lyles32386 Couldn't have been better said :)

  • @MRInterception118 calm down, halo does have a movie and it's shit.

  • Female Shepard=F@CK NO

  • @a80a80a80 Agreed.

  • I want to mass her effect.

  • A Mass Effect movie?

    Ah yes, a Mass Effect movie...

    HOLY SHIT! A MASS EFFECT MOVIE!!!

  • DAMMIT, NOT A FEMALE!!!!!!

  • Female Shepard?? U mad bitch ? Naw way!

  • OMG I would totally see that movie !! Mass Effect = best sci-fi thriller plot EVER !

  • Martin Sheen in ME movie!

  • 1. Seth Green MUST be Joker

    2. Based on the Mass Effect games

    3. Yvonne strahovski MUST play Miranda

    4. ( not sure about this one ok ) Megan fox Plays Jack

    5. Wrex, Garrus, Liara,tail and all of the other alliens can be CGI AS LONG they have the same voice actors fromm the game

    6. If it is gonna be a female shepard..must be a lesbian! ( am a young man and thats what i want to see! )

    thats about it really

  • ok its times like these as a true Mass Effect fan that i want to take charge of the film so i would keep it true to the game 100%!

  • NO CGI WREX!!!! MAKE A JURRASIC PARK ROBOT, BUT NO CGI YOU HOLLYWOOD LAZY ASSES!

  • well i don´t care, i just wanna fuck that blonde

  • Femshep?

    HELL NAW!

  • Romance Tali!

  • They should make the film about the first contact war IMO

  • Amber Rose would make a perfect Jack

  • uuurgh him trying to flirt with her was soo creepy!!

  • urgh... games to movies DO NOT WORK.

  • @liamjd1 They work because people pay to see them.

  • I always felt that the mass effect game feels like a movie.

  • my guess is theyre going to get mark vanderloo if its male shepard since they modeled the game character from him.

  • im excited but the only problem i have is that they are setting a standard for shepard

  • I heard the movie is gonna be about first contact war or the events after the war so that means by the book revelations, but thats just talk talk. oh and you better not fuck the movie up. and its confirmed, Commander Shepard is a guy not a girl.

  • I hope it isn't about commander Shepard, rather about something else, like the first contact war or something like that.

  • or they just make a prequel about shepards home world. and have the ending have a baby, unkown gender or race though. and have that babys name shepard 

  • or cgi me movies that have the graphics like the game that tell the story of all the different conlficts that revole aruond shepard and his battle against reapers but doesnt have him directily in it. like a geth movie or movie about some of the other race or a movie about different specters who contributed 2 the franichise we dont know about etc etc...

    i just think a real me would be horrible. after all its my me.

  • ... ok. m moviee=wtf. me game= my game. im shephred. hes my shepphred i made him the way he is right now through all the optoins and customzation! no actor can take whats on my hardvie for me and act that out cause it would be different from every other shepred other ppl have.

    there is no set single shephard!

    they should just make a graphic novel if they want 2 do something like this. lots of mini series of me books would just do fine.

  • i heard they r not going to cast seth green as joker if they have him in the movie

  • My attention was drawn the hot blonde the whole time O.O

  • NO! No. The worst thing you could possibly do with this movie is to make it about Shepard. No matter what you do with the character it will piss people off and bring in canonical issues (choice as well as gender). Besides, its not like you could get the voice actors to do it. The Mass Effect universe (books, comics, back story) is why this concept actually has potential. I like TheClark's fist contact idea, or maybe adapt a book for the players who haven't read it, but Shepard would screw it up.

  • Ok ... cast the female shepherd... but WITH THE LESBIAN SEX SCENE!

  • @gordomax more like a 6 some...

    or maybe a male shepard and a female shepa...

    itll be messed up anyway

  • haha fuck dat they better not cast a bitch as shepard

  • I really want this movie to happen! I am new for Mass Effect and actually just completed Mass Effect 1 and 2 in this week for the first time! They were amazing games. Actually I am still playing Mass Effect 2 since I did not do all the side missions. It is so awesome that you can continue playing the game even though you have completed the main plot! By the way..anyone noticing the "N7" tattoo of that chicks microphone arm? Cool! :)

  • They are concentrating on the first game? Interesting, because Id read a rumour a few months ago that the film might be a prequel, focusing on the Human/Turian first contact war. That would have been perfect in my mind because a) existing fans see something new b) non-fans get a gentle entry point to the series (instead of hey heres 16 aliens races and all this technology and 2 hours to explain it rather than 20 hours) and most importantly c)would avoid 99% of fans hating the casting for Shepard

  • does anyone see the girl wearing the skull head Mario shirt?

  • I don't like the idea for a female commander shepard mainly because female actresses or hollywood does not know how to make a woman badass and still have feminine charm the problem I find is that they make them into men personality wise and the only thing that makes them women is their body

  • i reckon they should do shepard he is mass effect and tbh if they are actually doing it with the game makers it should be done well as long as it follows the basic saren goes bad stop saren kill sovereign plot ill be happy

  • @edco20 - I totally agree on the part that they shouldn't make a movie based on the actual game (even though I'll be very VERY curious to see one...)!

    Actually one part of me can't wait & dying to see a MASS EFFECT movie and the other part is saying that this is gonna be a really BIG mistake... Because MASS EFFECT story & universe is unique to each one of us and it's impossible to recreate something we have in our minds and please us all at the same time...

  • this is not going too happen but i might as well just throw it out there and its kinda stupid but they should have an option that will let you select between female and male shepard like the unrated version and original version like in other movies. ps dont hate just an idea.

  • [MattG60173] [jackofblades94] - You must be realy young or playing ME for everything BUT the story to say that!

    You think only girls, feminists or not, playing female Shepard?!?

    Well, if the male Shepard in ME movie acts like Mark Meer's voice acting, it gonna suck balls big time!

    Jennifer Hale's voice acting brought ME to an unreachable high level and made some people (like me) INDISPUTABLY want a female Shepard...

  • @maqichuaerilus dont get offended by em, they have a point... Its just that we are used to seeing the male Shepard all the time, and adding a female would be weird and uncommon thats all. The male has a more iconic approach, cuz he's been on every box cover and trailer, while the female hasnt been shown much commercially. I personally prefer if they add a male. But if they truly make it based from the actual game it will suck, it should be a prequel instead during First Contact

  • @edco20 - I totally agree on the part that they shouldn't make a movie based on the actual game (even though I'll be very VERY curious to see one...)!

    Actually one part of me can't wait & dying to see a MASS EFFECT movie and the other part is saying that this is gonna be a really BIG mistake... Because MASS EFFECT story & universe is unique to each one of us and it's impossible to recreate something we have in our minds and please us all at the same time... :-(

  • @maqichuaerilus I think would prefer if they casted a femshep too, but maybe that's just because I've always played her, simply because Mark Meer's voice-acting is so dull. I've seen youtube videos where they replaced the male shepard model with Legions, still using Mark's voice of course, and you're just thinking: "Hmm.. maybe he IS a robot!" If they do go with a male shep however, I seriously hope they can find an actor with more passion.

    Just don't go with a robot like Mark, please!!!!!!!!!

  • They can make anything else; a show series, more comics, more novels, games after Mass Effect 3; just not a Mass Effect movie. But if they must make a movie, it should be about an important event outside of Shepards story and/or be animated. (If that happened though only fans who played the game will understand it so they wont do it for money reasons -_-) And if it all goes wrong and it is about Shepard it will be Male-Shep, because around 80% of players play Male-Shep (Me not included).

  • Honestly, they shouldn't do Shepard in the movie, I know it sounds crazy but, everyone has their own Shepard, hell you can pick the character's gender, you'd just piss people off if you cast anyone as Shepard. Do a movie from another character's point of view, maybe do a movie during the first contact war, or the discovery of prothean technology on Mars, anything other than Shepard, I have the games for Shepard.

  • I just kinda doubt that they'll find the perfect actress for Miranda.

  • I'd be pissed if they cast a female commander shepherd!!!

  • @MattG60173 me too, god, feminists, get the fuck away!

  • @MattG60173 Why? We have enough rough and gruff "Hey kids wanna play football and be American" type of male protagonist.

  • @TheMarkz0ne Because it just doesn't fit commander shepard to be female...maybe in your playthrough but in a movie no... just no... no sexism.

    And I, and many others, are tired as well of seeing those "action women" on the movies. Seriously, HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU HAVE A PERFECT MAKE UP AND HAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF A GODDAMN FIGHT?! IT'S FUCKING RIDICULOUS! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY GODDAMN SENSE!

  • @MattG60173 Yeah, no femsheps please...

  • @MattG60173 Considering movies like "Salt," having replaced the male heroin with a woman, I would think america is just slaves to sexual idiocy. Fuck the female hero, give men back their movies!

  • @MattG60173 I'd rather see a female Shepard, I liked the voice acting more in the game. So I take the female role more serious than the male role.

  • uh me movie?.....that would be stupid cuz ITS MY FREAKING COMMANDER SHEPARD! but i would like to see them try but i dont think it would do great all with messing it all up

  • Mass effect games are my favorite video games ever, however, I can't imagine the movie being all that great. The story line for the games is too long and I don't know how well it could be adapted into a 3 hour movie. It has potential, but like most video game based movies it probably won't pan out. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Who knows, maybe if it does pan out, that could be the thing we needed to jump start that Halo movie, now THAT could be good.

  • i hope shepard and ashley get together

  • N7 tatoo.....nice

  • Man... Even these video game chicks IN FRONT of cameras are gorgeous... I feel ugly compared to her...

  • As a fan, I would love to see Seth Green as Joker. I mean he doesn't need that much of a make over to look like him anyway. Plus it wouldn't be as heart warming to hear Joker's sarcasm if it isn't voiced by Seth Green.

  • Yvonne Strakovski has HAS to be part of the cast in this movie! i want to see more of her, without her clothes hehe

  • NOOOOOO ! u all are getting wrong they should not make a movie off this !

    Fuck !

  • Fairuza Balk should be casted as Jack.. I think she would do great

  • Colonel Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis with a little makeup would make a perfect Commander Sheppard :P

  • What made Mass Effect great for me were the choices.

    Tech shown on places like the Gadget Show allow for theatre wide audience participation for watching a movie or even playing a game on the big screen.

    Why not make a film where a key points the audience can choose a divergent path - que a theatre fight between paragons and renegades!

    A film maker could do so much with choice and what better series than Mass Effect to try it. Or is Cinema by it's nature stagnent and choice free?

  • The setting of Mass Effect should be the First Contact War and Human colonization of planets.

  • Im scared of the movie. Like the guy said, MS has the potential to be like starwars/lord of the rings. So this needs to be BIG. A big project, not just a crappy cash cow like most game to movies.

    storyline, actors, soundtrack, everything has to be big.

    Would be even better if they could use the original soundtrack of the games and some of the actors. Seth, Keith and some more.

  • They would be much better off making the movie be about someone other then Sheperd, make cameos, say, news reports and the like about Commander Sheperd, but never show him.

  • Well I bet Seth green will be in it. Dirdadir

  • Better be a ROMANCE (I do that every time ;D

  • Notice her N7 tattoo ;)

  • 2 filims i have 2 see uncharted & mass effect

  • No point of making the movie now..R.I.P Andy Whitfield , the only guy who fit the role.

  • for those who are smart like me youd know the movie is gonna be based on the first game.

  • im sorry but if they were to chose a girll it would make it bad

  • that dude is straight hittin on her

  • Theres a bunch of questions that need to be answered before they make that movie: what storyline do they base the movie on, one from the story from the games, the one from the mass effect books, or do they make a whole new adventure starring Shepard? Do they make make Shepard female or male? do they make female/male shepard paragon, renegade or neutral? do they make him have a romance and with whom? what class do they make shepard?

  • Wow, can't wait!

  • make a movie about laser dinosaurs or something

    Mass effect is a amazing game........let's keep it a game and not some shit movie and other junk

  • And just cause a male voice actor failed to to him justice does not mean an actual actor with talent can't do it. Tahmoh Penikett I think he would be the perfect candidate for the role of male Shepard.

  • I will be blunt. The movie will suck cause in the end they will have to cut so much story that 1 and 2 has told that it will feel less cohesive and will feel rushed. I think for the best and most satisfying way for this tale to be told is if it's made as a TV series. Come one people you know it's true we all know they will cut out Lair of the shadow broker and Overlord which were pretty epic stories. And have people vote when it's time to kill kaiden or ashley and i vote ashley.

  • i want mass effect to make the story and effects not other people damn it =p

  • ohh my god naomi is much hotter as a blonde

  • I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS MOVIE IF SHEPARD'S A DUDE.

  • I doubt a female will be chosen for the lead role. action video game films with female leads have not always had great reviews look at milla jovovich Resident evil movies are a disaster cause they write the women too one dimensional and they gave bad performances. tomb Raider well no one saw jolie in that movie for her performance which was bad.

  • Disney. better not be fucking PG rated. i want to see blood :) always i reckon a show would be heeeeaps better. this way they dont have to rush everything in one movie

  • i got them MOOOooooOOOooOoOoOoves like jagger

  • I think they should not make a movie about Shepard. IMO it would be more interesting to do a movie with an complete new story taking place in Mass Effect background without Shepard and without the reapers. Characters like Shepard, Liara, Jack, Wrex and others could make a cameo but that's all. Mass Effect's great background should be used to create originals stories not just an adaptation of the games that might be disapointing.

  • as long as they don't do the Jacob romance scene bad porno anyone :P

  • i think they should make a series of the main characters, all 30-60 mins long, one for shephard, one for miranda, one for mordin, one for garrus, one for grunt (or his makers) one for samara, and so on for the other characters

  • Nerd guy got a boner.

  • MASS EFFECT IS THE BEST SCI FI GAME OUT THERE!! at least they care about theyre fans....supposedly bungie went broke and couldnt finish making theyre halo movie lol.....but they still can make video games? shows how much bungie loves theyre fans huh.....bungie is full of shit fuck halo

  • @IcePickSnowmanzzzz Video games cost less to make than movies...

  • The only problem is that people will want Shepard to be the same as in THEIR game. But we know he/she can't be the same for everyone in the sense of:

    gender

    background

    decision making

    and over all personality

    The new Shepard will hardly be anything like Shepard at all, but I still think a Mass Effect movie could be REALLY cool, just hope it gets executed right.

  • I say go with a all paragon story line

  • At 1:53 Naomi gets Bored HAHA!!!

    Fat guy sucks =B

  • Is it just me, or was anyone else staring at Naomi's tits for at least half of the video?

  • no point in making a movie if the game has CHOICES

  • 36 people failed the suicide mission

  • Im gonna buy it on Blue ray

  • ILL FUCK NAOMI ANY DAY

  • Female Shepard X(  GOD!!! she's a dumbass what a waste of suggestion, if I was her I'd say to make it based from the first contact war.

  • Is the movie going to be live action? because i heard that it was going to be animated

  • @DeadVenom01 theres going to be a anime thats going to be released next year and a full length live action movie

  • Um... she's not even hot guys -_-

  • I'm gonna fuck Naomi one day, I guarantee it.

  • If Garrus Badass Vakarian isn't in the movie I will probably fucking cry. Oh and a good Kaiden death scene would be nice.

    My other ride is a space truck <3

  • Sam Worthington for Commander Shepard

  • Edward James Olmos as almiral hacket,FTW :D

  • A great idea for the story would be the beginning of Commander Shepard's career like when he joined the alliance and the threshler mawl! i would also love to see more about why he has N7 on him and were it originated and more explained to his past that they mentioned. And maybe a little something for the squad members such as miranda, ashley, liara, garrus, joker, kaiden and all the other favorite characters that we all love!

  • @TheTerminator64 Fuck kaiden

  • @RsionProduction Fuck you. Kaiden's my boy.

  • @TheManzinator that gaytard? his one of the most lamest characters in the ME universe lol...glad i let that f@cker died....never choose the other option everytime i replay mass effect 1 and im glad of that....lame chara and gay.

  • Better be directed by Christopher Nolan or JJ Abrams!

  • they can screw up the movie if they wish personally i love the games if they make a crap moie ill still be satisfied

  • 1:36 Mic fail.

  • I'm commander Shepard and il be in a Movie. OH YEAA!!

  • "....one of the guys who wrote Thor"

    Me: "Uh-oh."

    "...they're working with Casey Hudson..."

    Me: "Okay, maybe we're not _compleatly_ screwed. Maybe."

    These guys dare screw this up, and head will roll, in one form or another...

  • They should make six different movies, with Shepard being a different class in each one. Oh, and then make two of each for ManShep an FemShep. Oh, and then three different variations on that for Paragon, Renegade, and Indifferent. So, we need them to make 36 movies. Then nobody will be disappointed. No matter what happens, though, Khalisa bint Sinan al-Jilani needs to get punched in every single movie, because seriously, fuck that bitch.

  • @burnout21 I nominate this comment for WINNER OF THE INTERNET

  • @burnout21 Thats the worst idea ever, even though i din't take it seriously :P. But you made laugh at the last line there, haha

  • @burnout21 Personally I don't think Shepard should be in the movie at all. I think the movie should follow the example of the novels and comics, make their own story in the Mass Effect universe and stay away from adapting Shepard into the movie because Shepard can either be a man or woman, paragon or renegade, or any race. It would be very confusing for people who played the games. It's best to keep Shepard's appearance and service history ambiguous for the gamers sake.

  • @burnout21 i would love to see a mass effect movie that would have all the outcomes like the game.

  • @burnout21 you sir are hilarious

  • @burnout21 i never punched her, so your idea of this movie will suck cause it isnt the way i played the game, oh wait, maybe it doesnt have to be the way we played the game! :0 oh no, did i say that? wtf

  • as long as there's garrus, im happy

  • it would be cool if they made a paragon and renagade version of the movie but it would be a lot of work

  • Matthew Fox looks just like commander shepard they should cast him, anything less would be disappointing.

  • @SirJMichael I've always thought that too.

  • @SirJMichael Try Mark Vanderloo, look him up on google images. He's the mode for standard Shepherd
