Set in sunny Normandy: THE Normandy.

After the weird news that Roller Coaster Tycoon is being made into a movie (eek, podcast spoiler), the studio that has fathered 300, The Watchmen, The Dark Knight and a whole other slew of bend-your-disbelief movies, Legendary Pictures, have acquired the film development rights to Mass Effect.

People worried that the movie might just be an onslaught of explosions may be slightly put at ease by the fact the writer of I Am Legend, Mark Protosevich, is writing the flick.

The Watchmen movie adaptation has been praised by critics and hated by the comic-fans. Will we see a similar avenue with Mass Effect?
