FYI, Bioware confirmed Shepard is going to be male.

Regarding other stuff, I would rather there not be any romances in any movies because it is simply way too ubitiqutious and common in movies, and will leech screentime away from more distingusihing parts. If they feel like they have to have one, then from the filmaking perspective the best one would either be Miranda romance (Jack and Tali would need a lot of introductory screentime devoted ot them in order to avoid unfortunate conclusions) or the Kaidan romance in ME3 (if one is to take the view that with potential death looming in sight, one is more likely to commit to romance and if Bioware/EA will be brave enough for it by 2018 or whenever ME3 movie would be released.)

Finally, I think that they should have a mostly paragon Shepard, but one with Renegade decisions making sense on-screen. Rather than Shepard randomly behaving like an a******e, he will generally be nice and compassionate but do actions a person concerned with their safety would do, like kill off Shiala and other colonists at Feros.
