There’s no shortage of videogame-based movies in development at the moment, but the hopes have to be high that Mass Effect will prove to be one of the best. It’s a game series with a rich narrative underpinning it, and so there’s plenty for a potential movie to get its teeth into.
The person with the job of shaping the script now is Morgan Davis Foehl, who’s going to be rewriting the draft put together by Mark Protosevich. Presumably, given that Mass Effect is centred on a battle against an ancient alien race, the script will have some tight budget parameters to work between. But Legendary Pictures seems to be putting some momentum behind the project, and has the clout to get it done properly. Fingers crossed.
