    Production for BIOSHOCK adaptation halted

    Despite the announcement a couple weeks back of the film going into production, it seems that budget concerns from the studio has caused everything to halt, until Universal and director Gore Verbinski can figure out a way to keep it at a more reasonable amount.

    Adapted by John Logan (Gladiator, The Avaiator) the flick was gearing up to shoot in Los Angeles, but that quickly changed when the budget rose to the vicinity of $160-million. They're considering shooting outside the US in places like London to take advantage of the tax credit.

    Verbinski and the studio are still determined to make the pic and vow that Bioshock will "not become another Halo," where the proposed live-action adaptation of the Microsoft game was going to be made into a film by Universal and Fox until both studios canceled the deal over budget fears.

    I think I can send a couple bucks to help...
    160M.... Sounds like great effects and poor casting or cheap effects and Brad Pitt as Fontaine...

    I really want to see this happen, its the first time a big name director is doing a videogame adaptation. So I want to see if this will be the one of the VERY few videogame adaptations that actuallys follows the game.

    I really wanna see how this works out.

    maybe they can get Ewe Boll to direct it and then they can move that decimal place over 2 places.

    1.6 million.

    Gore Verbinski could make this one hell of a movie. The special effects and the ligthing in an underwater world would be creepy as hell. I hope production doesn't get halted to long. I understand their hesitance to make a movie with this big a budget when the economy sux like it does. But I think this movie would make its money back. Especially with a good director attached.
