Gore Verbinski to direct Bioshock on the big screen
It looks like the Bioshock movie we’ve all been awaiting is actually going to come to fruition. According to Variety, Universal and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski will be bringing the dystopian world to the silver screen. John Logan, screenwriter behind Oscar-winning The Aviator will be penning the project.
Verbinski had a few apt words about the game experience that bolster hope that the project is in the right hands. From Variety:
“I think the whole utopia-gone-wrong story that’s cleverly unveiled to players is just brimming with cinematic potential...Of all the games I’ve played, this is one that I felt has a really strong narrative.”
Obviously, the game was one of the most complex, best-conceived narratives in recent memory (I’d say across media. It was one hell of a cool story), and I have very high hopes for the film. It certainly seems as if there’s real talent behind the production, so perhaps we’ll soon see the end of the “lame game movie night” mentality. Let’s hope.
