PROJECT DETAILS
- Bioshock creator Ken Levine gave his thoughts towards the project in it's current state, saying: "We got very close to having it get made – we had a deal in place and a director. But for us there's no burning [desire] to have a movie made just to get it made. For us and for Take-Two, it's really got to be something that will a) give the fans something that they want, and b) for those who don't know BioShock, really introduce them to something that is consistent with the game, and is it going to be a good representation of the game." (11/15/11)
- Still being developed, the project has run into a couple problems that has halted the progress -- a big budget and a hard-R rating. Producer Gore Verbinski reportedly wants to keep the film edgy and stay true to the fans, and expressed interest in keeping it an R (possibly hard R) rating, and not dumbing it down to PG-13 to appeal to a wider audience. Because of this, Gore is trying to work with director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo to bring the budget down a little to compensate.
- Spanish Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo also worked on Intacto and 28 Weeks Later.
- A large factor in why the budget was growing too large was due to Gore Verbinski wanting to do as much as possible "in-camera" using real sets, etc.. and relying less on CGI.
- Gore Verbinski left the project as director due to the estimated budget ranging over $160-million, causing Universal to halt development. However Gore still remains on board as producer.
- Universal Pictures will distribute theatrically.
- Original director Gore Verbinski had passed on directing the fourth Pirates of the Carribean movie to helm this.
- Written by John Logan (Gladiator, The Avaiator).
- Based on the hit game with the same name.

The video game was very cinematic, but had some problems. The plane crash that brought the main character to the entrance of the underwater city somehow killed everyone on the plane but himself. That was more than a little unlikely. The game also implied that the main character put a bomb on the plane, making him an unwitting mass murderer. Then there are the little girls. In the game you could KILL them, though not explicitly. My guess is that killing multiple 5 year old girls to "drain their fluids" will not be in the movie. Another weird thing about the game is that you never meet the woman who helps you face to face, she is always in the dark and never seen. Hopefully the movie will change that. Otherwise I hope it happens. It was a genuinely new concept, with old Inner Sanctum radio show nostalgic overtones and music. Best of luck to all involved.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this movie will has the potential to be epic. The story-line of the first game was so original, awe inspiring and sinisterly creepy. Here is my take on 2 of the absolute "MUSTS" for the writers/production crew:
(1)the script MUST follow the sequence of events from the game exactly
(2)CGI must be held to an absolute minimum; specifically when depicting Big Daddy(s) and the array of splicers
Bioshock is stands alone as one of the best 1st person shooter games of all time.. I pray they do the film justice. >)
That's good to hear. I especially like the part about relying less on CGI.
It's always nice to see some one trying to keep movies as close to the source material as possible and doing it for the fans. But we all KNOW how games-2-movies always come out: PRINCE OF PERSIA any one?
Yup. As much as I want to see a big screen version of it, I prefer for Hollywood to not touch it. But why not go like RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION. That is the ONLY way to go with games like Bioshock. Otherwise its just another messed up movie to avoid.
ah Silent Hill was a grate movie and it didn't follow the game to a T.
as long as Uwe Boll not doing it but still why? Just leave games alone
..Death to Uwe Boll
why he has a good film like Rampage
YES!!!!!
Does anyone know what the director has done?
bioshock should be a game not a movie..i have see where game come out but they turn into a movie..it not the something as the game. if they guy going to do it right do it as the something as the game..
28 Weeks later was utterly fantastic
28 Days Later was better
this will not turn out well as a movie but sorry hauntd 28 weeks was a lot better
...That's nice. I don't think I understand what your trying to tell me. Explain that better?
