ColorCodePurple Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 The last time word surfaced about a possible film adaptation of futuristic actioner Mass Effect, it appeared that a film version was still a distant reality, with BioWare project director Casey Hudson saying the company was just "looking at [their] options." It seems that the option-seeking timeframe has already concluded, with confirmation today that Legendary Pictures has signed a deal with EA and BioWare to produce a film based on the expansive sci-fi game universe. According to Deadline New York, the Mass Effect 2 film will be co-financed and distributed by Warner Bros. Writer Mark Protosevich--who wrote the screenplay for I Am Legend and the upcoming Thor film--is said to be in talks to pen the script. Mass Effect isn't the only game-based title on Legendary's slate, with the company also working on a World of Warcraft movie being helmed by Spider-man director Sam Raimi. The game's story follows the adventures of Commander Shepard, whose ongoing mission is to stop an impending galactic invasion of a seemingly all-powerful alien race known as the Reapers. No details yet on whether Shepard will be a man or a woman in the film. Mass Effect joins a growing list of game-to-film adaptation currently in the works. Apart from the aforementioned Warcraft film, TV network SyFy is making a telefilm based on THQ's Red Faction games, while Warner Bros. is on track to produce another Mortal Kombat film. The much-discussed Gears of War film, however, seems to be in limbo, with recent numerous setbacks befalling the project.
