Victor Vinoda posted a statusI'm not sure if this was thought up before, but had an idea on how they could make an interesting movie base on Mass Effect. What if two actors were cast to play lead character Commander Sheppard (male and female), for two ME movies. One actor plays as a "mostly" Paragon Sheppard, while the other is plays Renegade Sheppard. The different Sheppard's action will effect certain outcomes, for each movie and both movies could show other outcomes like one killing Wrex and the other lets him live. Each movie would be filmed side by side and would have the same supporting cast, but with different scripts for Paragon ME and Renegade ME. But as a movie I think each choice should be different enough, so that it doesn't feel like the same movie, with different leads. Also it shouldn't follow too closely to the game, so to be different enough from the game and since this is a movie, it has limited amount of time tell a story.
Advertising to an audiences who never played the games can be a problem, this could confused them. Advertisers would somehow need show that both movies are the same movie, yet with drastically different story elements(male/female and Renegade/Paragon).
I'm not sure if this idea could work, but please I would love to hear opinions.

Permalink Reply by Prio on May 5, 2012 at 8:05pm Don't use Shepard, at all. Shepard is the players character and her/his story has been told, casting an actor as Shepard is a bad idea and will be alienating. Use the Skyllian Blitz or First Contact War, or hell the Krogan Rebellions if they find a director ballsy enough to not use humans, that shit can make for a good story without resorting to shoehorning in the Normandy crew.
