Yup, folks, the cinematic sci-fi action game, Mass Effect, is on its way towards becoming a Hollywood cinematic sci-fi action movie. Legendary Pictures acquired the feature film rights to the Mass Effect franchise and is already in discussions with the screenwriter of I Am Legend and Thor to pen the screenplay. But wait, there are even bigger names jumping in on this one.
According to the announcement, the BioWare Doctors/co-founders, Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, as well as Mass Effect executive producer, Casey Hudson, will serve as executive producers for the movie alongside film veterans Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Avi and Ari Arad. You may recognize those last two names as the gents working on the film adaptations of Uncharted, Infamous and Lost Planet.
"At BioWare, we’ve always thought of Mass Effect as having the depth, emotion and plot twists perfectly suited for an adaptation to a motion picture," said Casey Hudson. "With Legendary and Avi and Ari Arad attached, we believe that the Mass Effect movie will be an extraordinary entertainment event that realizes our vision for the franchise and thrills fans."
Granted, it's going to be a while before we see ANYTHING about the Mass Effect movie, if it ever happens, though it's already got us tickled. Will Commander Shepherd be male or female? Better yet, will he/she be renegade or paragon?? At least we know who will play Miranda. What are your thoughts, ME fans?

I don't want a mass effect movie... a 1.5 - 2hr movie will only pale in comparison to the 10-12 hr long story (talking about how long story takes.. not combat, gameplay etc) of the game... it'll be a Coles notes, butchered, whimpering imitation of the story we got in the game.

wow...am I the only one who doesn't want this to happen?

I hope there will be lots and lots of mining in the movie!!

Just don't mess up the game Bioware....as long as they stay true to the game and not rush a game out to go with the movie I am fine with it. Do not do what P.O.P did.

They hopefully won't alter the story in anyway

If any video game ever deserved a movie adaptation, Mass Effect is it.

Omg a Mass Effect movie would be so freaking awesome. I hope and pray that it turns out great, but since it's Mass Effect I don't see how it could be bad. And they have three top devs from BioWare overseeing the project, so that makes me feel very comfortable. Oh man I hope they go through with this and I hope it works out. I would kill to see a Mass Effect movie.

Holy crap they are running out of ideas for movies

My vote is for Megan Fox 2 be Jack!

This should be the easiest game-to-movie conversion imaginable (besides maybe a Kane and Lynch movie). You've got the ship, the hard nosed captain, entertaining pilot (Seth Green needs to be Joker in the movie!), and a plot that translates well to other forms of media. Give it a decent budget, give the writers freedom within the universe Bioware created, and don't be so literal in following the game and this will be a great movie.

Let's hope this movie breaks the sterotype of good video games getting turned into crappy movies.

This is REALLY old new, like a year ago.
But on topic, this can't be good unless the audience can pick what happens in the story.

haha finally! all throughout my playtime of the ME's, I felt like they would make perfect epic action movies. Hopefully they could nab Peter Jackson and go all LOTR-style trilogy on this.
