Stainless Games scores hattrick on XBLA

Those who brought us The Dark Knight and Spider-Man are teaming for Mass Effect, a live-action, big screen adaptation of BioWare's hit videogame.

Legendary Pictures' Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni have acquired the film rights to the game and will produce the movie along with former Marvel Studios honcho Avi Arad and his son Ari Arad. BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk will serve as executive producers, as will Mass Effect executive producer Casey Hudson. Warner Bros. will distribute the film.

Furthermore, the producers are in negotiations with screenwriter Mark Protosevich ( I Am Legend, Thor ) about penning the script. The Mass Effect movie is in the nascent stages of development.
