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.
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.
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!!
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
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).
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
The only game MICK0S0FT wants to cross over to hollywood is Halo.. and that will fail.
Just thinking about it pisses me off, but Matthew Fox was great in LOST. I hope this movie is in good hands.
