Bioshock to be made into a movie
Dark horse surprise Xbox 360 hit Bioshock is being made into a movie by Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski and Universal Pictures.
“BioShock fans appreciate the depth and complexity of the game, and our partnership with Gore Verbinski will introduce the world of Rapture to an even wider audience,” says2K Games president Christoph Hartmann. ” In addition to his impressive body of work, Gore is an avid video gamer and true fan of BioShock. That was extremely important to us in deciding to move forward with this project.”
Verbinski is slated to direct and produce the film, while John Logan, writer of Gladiator, The Aviator and Sweeney Todd is in discussion to adapt the screenplay.
I was given this game as a Christmas present and I was pleasantly surprised at its character depth, intricate story line and fantastic mood-inducing graphics. I said more than one time that “this could be a move” and with some decent directing, producing and writing behind it, it could be a very good movie.
Oh yeah, Xbox 360 exclusive too.

I have faith in Gore Verbinski I think he knows what makes a good movie and what doesn’t. Did you hear they are making a movie out of City Of Ember too! The preview reminded me of Bio-Shock, in fact I thought that was the trailer. But The movie looks like it’s going to be awesome. The set designer for Titanic and Nightmare Before Christmas is doing the sets for the movie, and from what I can from the trailer it looks so creepy/awesome!
My name is Blair Landon and I am an official ambassador for City of Ember. I have access to first-look pics of the movie not seen in the trailer (located on MySpace), and i’d love you to take a peak at them! I could also really use your help in spreading the word about COE and get lots of buzz going!
Don’t forget to check out the widget we have too. It’s pretty interactive and shows you where all the other City of Ember fans are around the world!
Again, I hope I’m not over-stepping and bounds by posting on your blog.
Best,Blair Landon
