As you know, there was a Mass Effect movie in production for a while, but apparently, according to Bioware, things did not succeed.
Talk to business insiders, Mass Effect Screenwriter Marc Walters stated that during the screenwriting process, the team believed that it was “always fighting against IP”.

“What story are we going to tell in 90 to 120 minutes? Will we do justice?” Walters said.
When the movie version seemed to be scrapped, some people suggested that the TV adaptation works best, but it never came true, but not because of “lack of experimentation.”
Walters believes that the plot series is a way of mass effect.
“If you want to tell a story as substantial as “Mass Effect”, then television is a way. It fits perfectly with the content of the series in a natural way,” Walters said.
Although the film and the proposed TV series never started, he believes that Hollywood will call at some point because it is not a question of “if” but “when”.
“This is such a vast world. Many people I know in the television and film industries have contacted me and asked me when to do it, and said we must do it,” he said.
It was announced ten years ago that among the works of Legendary Pictures, Mass Effect films once had some heavyweight support. It is co-produced by Ari and Avi Arad, and they are making Metal Gear Solid movies, Borderlands movies currently in pre-production, and long-term work unknown movies that will be released in February 2022.
The film will also be co-produced by Thomas Tour and Jon Gushney. BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk and Mass Effects head Casey Hudson also serve as executive producers.
Originally written by Mark Protosevich (Thor, I am a legend), the first script was not approved, so it was handed over to Morgan Davis Foehl (Blackhat).
Eight years ago, Avi Arad suggested that this movie be released for five to six years, and that was the last time we heard news about it. Now we know why.
Before being adapted into a movie or TV series, we at least have games. The Mass Effect Legend Edition was recently released, and another game in the series is currently under development at Bioware.
