Mass Effect Movie Rumours

According to Variety’s Cut Scene blog the rights to Biowares award winning sci-fi RPG series have been snapped up by ex-Marvel Movie boss Avi Arad, who’s since left the Comic giant to set-up his own production company.

Good news if you consider he’s contributed in bringing Spider-Man, X-Men and Iron Man to the big screen, bad if you remember Elektra, Ghost Rider and so-so Spider-Man 3.

Arad is also working on getting a big-screen adaptation of Capcom’s Lost Planet to the big screen.

It’s all one big no-brainer then. Mass Effect’s got a large game community following, rich cast of protagonists, baddies and love interests, plus the story’s been fleshed out enough to fill two books (not that we’ve read them, cough).

Arad is now said to be looking for writers, a director and a studio to attach to the Mass Effect movie. Limbo for a few years it is then…
