Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I just received a press release announcing that Thomas Tull's Legendary Pictures has acquired the rights to bring the fantastic video game MASS EFFECT to the big screen.

Now this is a franchise that could be turned into a great movie. I won't hold my breath but Mass Effect has a great story so you would have to be terrible at what you do to screw it up.

Does Sam Shepard know about this...he has alot to say...

i hope seth green is in it as joker that would make it grea

DeltaZ3R055854d ago

this will fail just like the rest of the video game movies, and its not fair for this awesome franchise, the movie wouldn't do justice to this game.

i think games should be games and movies should be movies.

Downtown boogey5854d ago

I disagree. I think this a great prospect for making a successful film adaption... Though not so much of an adaption actually: I think it has enough potential as a plain script.

DeltaZ3R055854d ago

i see....well I'm gonna wait and see what happens.

kneon5854d ago

I'll surely get a million disagrees but I actually found the game kind of dull, it may make a better movie than a game.

NYC_Gamer5854d ago

turning games into movies just doesnt work...

kneon5854d ago

Just because most game inspired movies suck doesn't mean they should stop trying. Sooner or later someone will get it right.

crapgamer5854d ago

It could turn out okay. Not all movies based off games are terrible. I actually enjoyed "Doom" on a level. Riddick was cool etc.. Maybe this could end well? Who knows. Mass Effect is an amazing franchise though.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno208d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos208d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg208d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb208d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum208d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1103d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1103d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
