Casting Call: MASS EFFECT live-action film prospects!

Rocky Miavia · Jul 14, 2011

We all know by know that a Mass Effect anime is in production in Japan. But did you know that Legendary Pictures has the license for the live-action films? Here's a casting call mock-up floating around on the net. My only change would be Ron Perlman (Hellboy) as Garrus instead of Keifer Sutherland.

Male Shepard - Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator: Salvation)

Garrus Vakarian - Kiefer Sutherland (24)

Miranda Lawson - Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck)

Mordin Solus - David Hyde Pierce (Frasier)

Liara T'Soni - Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler)

Ashley Williams - Angelina Jolie (Wanted, Tomb Raider, Mr. & Mrs. Smith)

Thane Krios - That Dude Who Played Abe Sapien (Hellboy II)

Kaidan Alenko - Eric Bana (Munich, Hulk)

Jack - Natalie Portman (V For Vendetta, Star Wars)

The Illusive Man - Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek, John From Cincinatti)

Joker - Seth Green (Austin Powers trilogy, Family Guy)

Tali'Zorah vas Neema - Famke Janssen (Goldeneye, X-Men, Nip/Tuck)

Zaeed Massani - Gerard Butler (300, Gamer)

Samara - Sarah Clarke (24)

Jacob Taylor - Kanye West

Wrex/Grunt - Michael Dorn (Worf from Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: DS9)

Pretty good choices, although I think Matthew Fox could be a better choice for Sheppard.

"THE MAN" · Jul 14, 2011

Matthew Fox - Shepard
Martin Sheen - The Illusive Man
Seth Green - Joker
Ron Perlman - Wrex
Doug Jones - Thane
Keith David - Cpt. Anderson
David Hype Pierce - Mordin

All I got for now. I don't see it being full of known actors though.

Who knows, he might have been the model they used for the character.

The Jack character needs quite some spunk. Overall, the cast should be geared more towards performance rather than similarity in looks.

it was some male model i think

Fashion model Mark Vanderloo was the model for the default appearance of the male commander Shepard.

here we go again, cats gonna be basing their decision by the actor's looks not their acting skills

with that cast, you are already spending 200 mil just on the actor's salaries. This thing would cost more than Avatar if they went with that
