BioShock, released last fall for Microsoft’s Xbox 360, was one of the best damn games I’ve played in my life. It was an incredibly (creepy) atmospheric and cinematic experience, which is why it should come as no surprise that it is being adapted into a film. It seems the project is going to gain some significant steam now as director Gore Verbinski (PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN) is attached to the project. Perhaps not the ideal choice, but the thing is, I don’t think – as other seem to do – Verbinski is all that bad. The first PIRATES was great, and I blame the lacking sequels more on the screenwriters than I do Verbinski. Also, I think the director has demonstrated he can be a little less bombastic with the underappreciated THE WEATHER MAN, and also THE RING.

For those of you unfamiliar with BioShock, here’s a brief description (couresy of moviesonline):
“Developed by 2K Boston and 2K Australia, BioShock is a “genetically-enhanced” first person shooter set in Rapture, an underwater art deco-inspired utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically modified “splicers” and deadly security systems, players have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters.”
