Legendary Pictures is developing a movie based on Electronic Arts and Bioware's video game Mass Effect, the studio has announced.
Legendary has acquired theatrical feature film rights to the popular game franchise, according to a statement.
The studio is in negotiations with I Am Legend and Thor producer Mark Protosevich to pen the screenplay.
Warner Bros. will distribute the upcoming film worldwide.
Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce along with Avi and Ari Arad.
The science fiction game takes place in 2183 and follows a team battling an alien race that returns to the galaxy every 50,000 years to wipe out all organic life.
“Mass Effect is a tremendous property ripe for translation to the big screen,” said Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull.
Production details have yet to be announced
