Bioshock is GREAT and all but I dont see how that story can be made into a good movie.

Well at least the people working on it are credible. Hopefully 2K keep a close eye on proceedings and have adequate input and I think this should turn out better than most.

Ever read "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"....this could easily be a movie, it's like Narnia meet Twilight Zone..

I think Spielberg or Tim Burton's Design can pull it off..

2.1 - why must it....
....be going to the PS3?!Could you please elaborate a bit on that? Bioshock is exclusive to PC and 360. The sequel to Bioshock may come to PS3 but no one knows as of yet, just rumours until confirmed by the developers.

i dont think the game story line would make a great movie same as you. but the concept of Rhapsody and its decline, and a stranger entering the city via an accident. could make a great movie. it would have to be done properly.

I agree with yea permutated...with gore on the ticket it has the potential to be a great movie. I hope they can bring the ambiance and environment of Rapture to the big screen.

Gore has a pretty good track record or aural/visual presentation, look at the Ring for instance. I'm sure that with the Gladiator writer pumping something out, it probably can't fail.

However, if they don't choose Mike Patton to play Andrew Ryan I'll be very, very upset. The man was born to play the role.

Lets hope they make a decent effort with this.

More likely screw it up though, like casting colm meaney as ryan etc

Gore Verbinski is an excellent director. He was able to give The Ring an American look while keeping the feel of the Japanese version. I think he will do just fine with Bioshock.

For a video game movie, this is about the first time that respected and capable movie talent has been involved.

Plus, Bioshock has an excellent story and setting that will make an excellent film.

I really liked the Pirates of Caribbean franchise but come on, BioShock deserves a more artistic director.

My personal pick would be Alex Proyas (Dark City, I Robot).

I know. I LOVE The Weather Man (A truly underrated classic) and love the POTC trilogy but still, I would have prefered a different director for BioShock.

9.3 - Pirates was vastly more successful.
I'd rather have a director that can reach a wider audience.

You've got a point but then, to really reach the general audiences, they'll need a PG-13 rating and that would kill BioShock.

All I needed to see or not see rather was "Directed by Uwe Boll" Gore Verbinski?? this should be good. In fact had it read "Directed by an armadillo" I would of still been relieved.

The only movie based on games I can think of that were any good at all were, Silent Hill, Mortal Kombat (first one) Hitman, and Res Evil (first one) everyting else sucked. Look at Doom, the only good thing in that movie was the first person sceen.
