Variety is reporting that BioShock will be making it to the silver screen, and The Ring/Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski will be directing, with a screenplay by John Logan (The Aviator).
From Variety
“I think the whole utopia-gone-wrong story that’s cleverly unveiled to players is just brimming with cinematic potential,” said Verbinski. “Of all the games I’ve played, this is one that I felt has a really strong narrative.”
Verbinski noted that Rapture’s art deco design and visually arresting characters, such as the mechanical Big Daddys who protect genetically mutated girls called Little Sisters, particularly inspired him to see the game as a film.
Verbinski is the right choice for this project, as he’s proven he’s an atmospheric director on par with Ridley Scott, and knows how to adapt material from unusual sources.
