BioShock Movie in the works!

I had to post this. My wife of all people, Miss No video games, send me this link.

Thanks for the news!! Bioshock was one of my fav games of 2007! I hope they can make it as creepy and intense as the game.

I really wished Resident Evil would have gotten the same treatment but we all know what happened to that.....

Re: BioShock Movie in the works!

While my son was playing the game I noticed how the surroundings reminded me of Blade Runner. However, do we really need another movie where an experiment that has gone wrong shows a world full of infected ones?

Re: BioShock Movie in the works!

Well, I agree that i'm nearly zombie-movie'd out, but as they say, its not what you're about, its how you are about it. I think if they do it right and concentrate more on the tone and visual than the action movie aspect it could work.

Worth noting that the guy who directed House of Sand and Fog is preparing an adaptation of Atlas Shrugged also, so a Bioshock film would make an interesting double feature or companion film.

i have a feeling one or the other may do something visually similar to Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Also, given the sex in "atlas" and the violence "bioshock" I would think both would land in the R rating category.
