Mass Effect Sequel in 'Early Stages'

The next Mass Effect game is in the “early stages” of production. According to a tweet from executive producer Casey Hudson, “we're in early stages of designing a completely new Mass Effect game. What would you want to see in it?”

Hudson’s comment comes after BioWare previously hinted at a new Mass Effect game in September, noting at the time that “the Mass Effect universe is vast, and Casey and our teams have plans for another full game.” Not much other information is available, but BioWare has said in the past that it won’t involve Shepard and that players should keep their save files.

Will you be giving Hudson your feedback? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and see five ideas about where Mass Effect should go next and why no more Shepard could be a good thing for more.

Kick-Ass 2 Director Hints at a Confirmed Role for Jim Carrey

Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall director Jeff Wadlow sent out a tweet recently that may confirm what we've suspected for a while; that The Mask and Batman Forever actor Jim Carrey is joining the cast of the comic book sequel as 'The Colonel.'

The tweet reads: "6 days till we start shooting... and we officially have our Colonel. Alrighty f'n then!"

While he does not explicitly name Carrey, Wadlow uses the catch-phrase the comic actor made popular in the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective movies.

As we previously reported, The Colonel will be a key supporting role in the sequel. "He helps galvanize the team of misfit super heroes assembled to fight evil," quoted Wadlow to Deadline. The site stated that Carrey was being wooed for the project back in August.

With reference to the Kick-Ass comics, "The Colonel" could be Colonel Stars, whose alter-ego is Sal Bertolinni, a former mob soldier-turned-born again Christian superhero.

Original cast members Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage are all set to return for the sequel, with shooting starting in a few days. Stay tuned for any further updates.
