Who Should Direct Mass Effect?

Now that we know a Mass Effect movie has been given the green light, IGN has cranked out a list of directors that they think have the directing chops to do the movie justice. Personally, I think Mr. Abrams is probably the best bet:

J.J. Abrams

J.J. Abrams is the new darling child of the science-fiction scene. He helped spearhead Lost, one of the most popular and mind-bending TV shows in recent memory. He successfully resuscitated the ailing Star Trek franchise and made being a Trekkie cool again.

Cloverfield was a fun mash-up of Godzilla and The Blair Witch Project, and its pseudo follow-up Super 8 looks to be equally entertaining.

All of these projects prove Abrams has what it takes to tackle creative sci-fi concepts and draw in audiences by the millions. Mass Effect offers Abrams a chance to work on a scale that dwarfs even Star Trek. And no matter how big the budget, we know we can count on the director never to lose sight of the fun of the story.
