A while ago (I don't remember clearly, but maybe half a year to a year ago?) the rights to making a Mass Effect Movie was bought and is now showing some progress of its existence. Videogame to film adaptations has been one of satire and mis-guided tribute in order to use the success of the game to bring in money for the movie. I never understood why so many movie makers go out of their way to create a film that the general public wouldn't really understand or be able to appreciate without the background and upset the actual fans of the franchise that the film is based off of when it doesn't even make them that much money. If someone is very serious about creating a "good" movie out of the characters and content of a popular videogame, they should do it in a way that interests movie-goers and please the fans. With Mass Effect 3 coming out early next year 2012, the movie is hard at work on finishing it if they want to use the hype of Mass Effect to its fullest.

Well it seems that screenwriter Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend) is determined to make Mass Effect an incredible movie in its own rights. What has fans worried at the moment besides the fact that it's going to be actually made? Well, it seems that they're focusing on the plot of the first Mass Effect and is planning on changing the entire story for the movie. Mass Effect has its popularity in the ability to create an immersive atmosphere in a believable environment by giving life to all the NPCs, allow the player to travel freely in a gigantic galaxy, and tying in a large adventure for the player to journey. Is it really possible to create such a story that can match the epic proportions of the game in all its characters, story, and world into a 2-3 hour movie? The crew responsible for the making of the movie has their work cut out for them for sure.
