Mass Effect movie in the works
May 24th, 2010 by Colin Temple
It seems that BioWare’s hit action-RPG franchise Mass Effect is on its way to the big screen. Legendary Pictures, which has rights to produce the film, is getting everything together to put Commander Shepherd on the big screen.
Screenwriter Mark Protosevich, who wrote I Am Legend and the upcoming Thor movie, is currently in talks to write the movie. The film will be co-produced by Legendary and Warner Bros.
Mass Effect isn’t alone, with other video games like World of Warcraft and Gears of War also making the attempt to transition into film. Meanwhile, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is on its way to theatres this Friday.
We’ll have to wait and see what this becomes, but Mass Effect certainly has the rich story and world mythology that could easily translate into film — if the right team is behind it.
