He doesn't look far off for the part, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get the good doctor out of my head.

Natsu X FairyTail5767d ago

he's a good actor from what I'Ve seen him tho on screen in lost. I'd like to see him in ME without a doubt.

nveenio5767d ago

I always thought he'd make that part perfectly. Plus, he would be a low-budget actor and not well enough known on the silver screen to be hard for an audience to accept. That seems to be the hardest part about casting video game and comic book movies.

KiasuKiasiMan5767d ago

Jack Shepard, Commander Shepard. Am I the only one seeing the similarity lol.

gaffyh5767d ago

Damnit, I shouldn't have approved this. This was a April Fool's joke that IMDB took a little too seriously and have put him as the rumored lead. Apparently, it's not gonna be him.

pwnzter5767d ago

I really want a female to take the part of shepard in the movie

zeeshan5766d ago

I remember that the first time I played MASS EFFECT, I said to my wife that Commander Shepard looks a LOT like Jack Shepard from LOST! I think this guy would be a great fit!!

Eamon5766d ago

Live together, die alone

DMason5766d ago

I think that Tom Hardy would have been a better fit. Plus, Tom Hardy looks like Shepard more and has the acting chops to knock it out of the park. He's been in movies such as RocknRolla, Bronson, Inception, and the upcoming Mad Max movie.

"I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get the good doctor out of my head."

That's kinda what many says whenever he tackles a new important role . He "wasnt supposed" to shake off his character from party of five too , and yet he did with the short lived Haunted and with Lost.

I'm confident it will be the same with upcoming gigs

EVILDEAD3605767d ago

Huge Lost fan..but wow..that's an amazing match..

Always thought a M.E. movie would cost a 100 millionn if done right..hope it gets a great budget..

On the flip side I wish Bioware could do a Serenity game..

One with a dude and one with a chick.

Skizelli5766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

Haunted was a good show. Short-lived indeed. Not sure why it didn't do well when you have shows like Medium and Ghost Whisperer now that don't even compare.

When I played Mass Effect, I remember naming my male character 'Jack' (being a fan of Lost and all).

TheLeprachaun5766d ago

He's actually perfect for the role. Every time I see Shepard in a Mass Effect game I think he looks like Matthew.

Kos-Mos5766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

Good doctor? Now how good was he really? Did you understand Lost series at all?

The only game MICK0S0FT wants to cross over to hollywood is Halo.. and that will fail.

Pandamobile5767d ago

Why would 'Mickosoft' have any say in the matter? Mass Effect isn't owned by them. It's an Electronic Arts property.

ktchong5767d ago

for letting BioWare and Mass Effect exclusivity got away.

Pandamobile5767d ago

I don't think they ever had a choice. When EA bought Bioware, they bought the IP too.

Baka-akaB5767d ago

wasnt their say , it's obvious Bioware wouldnt give the full rights to anything they create to any console manufacturer .
Should consoles indeed die and leave place to pc or a new form , they dont intend to go the way of the dodo

edhe5767d ago

Yes.. that mass effect that's now multiplatform o_O

Oh shit it's MS only!

corneliuscrust5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

Healthy dose of MS hating out of nowhere...they have nothing to do with Mass Effect

thanks for showing up to spread the hate though. Typical N4G style

Skizelli5766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

I'm kind of out of the loop on this, so if I'm wrong, please correct me.

@Genesis2oo9: You can't really assume it will fail. It's such an epic story, I think it would translate pretty well to a movie. I'm personally glad the movie keeps falling through. That shows me that people want to do it right. But it would take a great deal of money to really do it justice, money that backers are afraid to spend on a video game to movie adaption, despite how successful Halo is. That's probably why most adaptions suck, poor execution -- aside from the lack of a good story in most. The story is there, but the special effects would have to be as well.

orange-skittle5766d ago

Another jackass trying to be funny! Dumbass didnt know that Mass Effect was devloped by Bioware and Published by EA. Now what do have to say you moron?

Ri0tSquad5767d ago

Just thinking about it pisses me off, but Matthew Fox was great in LOST. I hope this movie is in good hands.

Hades13375767d ago

Agreed, 6 years of viewing for THAT.

pr0digyZA5766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

I personally love the ending was leading there the whole time "faith vs science" was very emotional hope it wins some awards. Ive heard that most people who don't like it don't like the fact that it has religion same reason why some didn't like the battlestar Galactica ending.

electrolemon5766d ago

If you enjoyed the journey to the ending, then that six years wasn't a waste. If you hated the ending, great, whatever. But you watched for six years, and loved the six years, so why is it "ruined" just because of one episode? That's stupid.

Baka-akaB5767d ago

To each their own , but you dont have to think that way .

"THAT" , will be for me those 6 years of an excellent ride , regardless of the ending , wich was never going to live up any hype ? When do they ever anyway ?

In the end it ended like its biggest influence , Twin peaks ...

Workshyskiver5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

well not quite, Lost at least had closure on the main storylines.... Where's annie is more of a Lost season 4 type of ending....

Cheeseknight285767d ago

Lost's ending was bittersweet. I loved it at the time, sorta don't like it in retrospect.

They wanted a ending that people would remember (Sopranos), not something that is euphoric (Star Wars VI) I think.

Skizelli5766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

Many of my Lost-loving friends hated the ending because they despise religion. Funny thing is, the show had religious undertones throughout the entire series.

I personally found closure in it. Sucks for them.

dinkeldinkse5766d ago

At least it didn't suck complete ass like how The Sopranos ended. 5 minutes of watching Meadow try to park and then when she gets out of the car and goes into the diner the picture blacks out.

x5exotic5766d ago

Best Tv ending ever,,,,beyond perfection but sadly 1/4 of the nation is retarded and didnt get it

Nice casting.

Ugh... a Twilight avatar.. and whats with those hearts in every post you make...

On topic: I dont know him, but he has the look indeed.

Count5767d ago

Gamers..

All shapes and sizes.

da305kratos5767d ago

Mass Effect - N7 DAY 2025

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno201d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos201d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg201d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb201d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum201d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1096d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1096d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
