Commander Shepard: Leonardo Dicaprio

I would comment on this but since I have no clue about this game, I’ll just take you all’s word on it.

Although it is interesting that Shepard was physically modelled after Vanderloo, Vanderloo definitely shouldn’t be playing this character on the big screen seeing how he is a model and not an actor. It would almost be like having the lead character in a film, that is based on a true story, being played by the ‘real-life’ person the writer modelled the character after. What is ‘acting’ really all about?

This was a fun game but I just don’t see how they could adapt it to film. When it comes to casting I would go with Dominic Purcell (The guy from Prison Break) maybe if he got a little skinnier he could pull it off.

The game is already like a big movie. I think a feature film would just demolish the whole thing some game companies are doing to make gaming more cinematic. Because games now get big actors and everything to try and merge gaming and film. Then they take one of the best examples of a playable epic movie and make it just a movie. Two thumbs down.

Hey FrosT,

Yeap, the character is modelled on Vanderloo but he’s not exactly a known or bankable lead actor.

Matthew Fox has a very strong resemblance to the character as well, and I think could actually pull it off well. I’d love to see him in a more serious and badass role as the lead in a feature film.

Hey Rob,
I just wanted to say that Commander Shepard does not look like matthew fox, he IS Mark Vanderloo. The in-game character is modeled after him, so i think it would be nice if he portrayed Shepard in the movie… Just Check this out: http://ui23.gamespot.com/2166/ewwwtf_2.jpg
