the public has long grown accustomed to rumors that adaptations of popular books and games are being simplified—essentially tailored to appeal to the widest possible audience. so when online chatter began circulating that the script for the upcoming “mass effect” game series is set to be rewritten, players merely sighed deeply and shrugged their shoulders—after all, such practices are commonplace in the industry. however, it’s still too early to despair.
the film’s screenwriter, daniel casey, has denied the insider claims. according to the director of “fast & furious 9,” no one personally asked him to revise the script to cater to a broader audience.
that said, casey declined to provide further details—he signed a non-disclosure agreement. nevertheless, he admitted that the article from the ankler came as a surprise to him, just as it did to “mass effect” fans.
it’s worth noting that the movie adaptation of bioware’s sci-fi trilogy still doesn’t have an official release date. likewise, “mass effect 4” remains shrouded in mystery, with the developer extremely reluctant to reveal any information about the game.
