Gamers are all too used to seeing favorite and well-loved titles turned into disappointing movies. Remember Doom, Final Fantasy, and BloodRayne? Yeah,
so do we, unfortunately. Which is why we're dancing with metaphorical joy at Variety's news that Gore Verbinski has signed to direct an upcoming
movie based on last year's superb Bioshock. Verbinski's name - previously attached to the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy - should make sure the
Bioshock movie project gets just as much attention as it deserves.
Oscar nominee John Logan (The Aviator, The Last Samurai) is already in the frame to provide the script, which (although no details are available yet)
will, we hope, give us more insight into Bioshock's fascinating backstory. If you missed out on the game, which was released late last year on Xbox
360 and PC, it took place in a 1950s underwater city named Rapture, home at one time to a colony of idealistic capitalists, but which subsequently
became overrun with bizarre genetic mutants.

One of the best games of last year, but i have my doubts about the movie.
Every game - to - movie adaption i have seen have all murdered the games' lore, such as Doom and Alone in the Dark. Bioshock's story is very much
key to the game's success, so a lot of work sticking to detail would need to be done in any plot to make the movie live up to expectations.
Thoughts?
