Voor dat je helemaal hyper wordt en begint te spekuleren wie de actreurs en actrices zijn, moet ik je er op wijzen dat het een anime film gaat worden. Normaal gesproken denken we hier bij gelijk aan tentacle rape porn achtige dingen, maar dat zal er met deze flick niet in gaan zitten. Of....nah.

BioWare and FUNimation Entertainment announced an agreement to create an anime feature film adapted from one of the video game industry's most revered franchises, Mass Effect. Tokyo-based anime and international feature film production company T.O Entertainment, Inc. has signed on as a co-producer on the video. Based on the Mass Effect universe, the anime video will tell the tale of an epic science fiction adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life and mysterious, uncharted planets.

Casey Hudson of BioWare, executive producer of the Mass Effect series, will serve as executive producer on the film, along with FUNimation President and CEO Gen Fukunaga and Director of Original Entertainment Chris Moujaes and T.O Entertainment's CEO Takeichi Honda and Yui Shibata.

"Over the last few years, we have revealed different pieces of the Mass Effect world through different media. Extending the story through an anime medium is another amazing opportunity for us," said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer for the Mass Effect series. "Partnering with FUNimation ensures that we will bring this rich universe to life with the utmost quality and the same attention to detail that the Mass Effect games are known for."

"It is thanks to the enormous and passionate Mass Effect fan base that this movie is made possible," said Gen Fukunaga, President & CEO of FUNimation. "With production underway on the Dragon Age video, we are excited to team up with another BioWare team to add an exciting new chapter to this vast sci-fi world."

Production of the Mass Effect anime movie has already begun. Digital and home video releases are scheduled for the summer of 2012.
