Bioshock film in the works?
Category: Industry, Posted: 01/09/2008 at 12:09PM CST by Eddie Inzauto, Associate Editor
If you've played Bioshock, it takes nothing more than the introduction to the underwater city of Rapture to tell you that the game screams cinematics.
Apparently, at least a few people in Hollywood agree, as a "reliable source within a major film production company" has said that a film version of the multi-award winning game is already in discussion.
If this project indeed gets off the ground, the studio will make use of green screen technology (300, anyone?) to illustrate Rapture and all of its gene-spliced inhabitants just as envisioned in the original work.
Being that Bioshock was my personal pick for 2007 GOTY, I would love to see a movie adaptation come to fruition. "Major film production company," would you kindly get to work on that?

I second that motion! But please, film studios, make sure you do it right. (crosses fingers)
At least this game has a good enough story the hollywood writers can work with. I mean, what the hell did Hitman have to warrant its own movie?
Bald dude. Barcode. Badassery.
Not that I think that's enough.
I'm slightly disappointed that a green screen will be used as opposed to a bona fide sound stage. Personally, I found 300's digital set pieces too artificial for my tastes. I'm not against it, but small doses, please (unless we're talking about Sin City).
