Tags: Mass EffectVariety is claiming that a movie adaption of BioWare's cinematic gaming masterpiece Mass Effect is on the way.
"Mass Effect" has started its journey to the big screen. Numerous sources have confirmed that producer Avi Arad has optioned the rights to Bioware's sci-fi RPG from the developer's parent publisher Electronic Arts.So who is this Mr. Arad?
Arad was for a long time the head of Marvel's movie business, where he helped start the new wave of actually good comic book movie franchises like "X-Men," "Spider-Man," and "Iron Man" (OK, there was "Spider-Man 3" and "Elektra" and "Ghost Rider," but there's still no denying Marvel movies are much improved). Now he runs his own production company and has been getting into videogame adaptations, starting recently with "Lost Planet."There's a good chance this project won't get off the ground, but it still might be fun to speculate on the casting. Christopher Walken as Commander Shephard, perhaps?
