Yesterday, we had reported that a movie based on Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune could be coming soon. One more game that millions of gamers want to see on the big screen is BioShock. The internet has been full of rumors about a BioShock movie. Now Variety is reporting that Take-Two and Universal have agreed to make a BioShock film.
According to the Cut Scene blog, Gore Verbinski will be directing and producing the BioShock movie. John Logan, who was the screenwriter for movies like Star Trek: Nemesis and Aviator will be adapting it. Gore Verbinski is in touch with Ken Levine about the characters and the things that Levine feels should be different in a film.
As for the portrayal of the Little Sisters in the BioShock Movie, Verbinski said, “I think we’ll go right up to the edge with the Little Sisters. I don’t want to soften it to the point where the core audience feels betrayed. At the same time, the gameplay is completely different than it will be for an audience watching. The movie audience’s imagination is a lot more graphic if you let them imagine it. We’ll have to be really clever with that. “
And if you are wondering about the games Gore Verbinski likes, well, Portal is one of his favorites. There aren’t much details currently for the BioShock movie, even who will play the lead role is still a mystery.
