Back in 2010, it was reported that Legendary Pictures had picked up the rights to a Mass Effect movie. However, that quietly fizzled out a couple of years later. The director of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Mac Walters offered some insight to Business Insider back in June as to why the film was scrapped. “It felt like we were always fighting the IP. What story are we going to tell in 90 to 120 minutes? Are we going to do it justice?”
We’ll have to wait and see if giving Hollywood more minutes to play in Mass Effect‘s universe proves more successful. Meanwhile, the next Mass Effect game continues to be teased by Bioware as recently as last month.
