bioshock movie

[shansta619]

alright, whats the story with it. it was big news a few months ago and then fell off the face of the earth. i heard it is to be released in 2010 but it doesnt look like they even have a cast yet, is it really coming, im really curious, and if it does come what will it be about. personally im thinking a prequel showing the rise and andrew ryan and the civil war in rapture. the best thing about that, seeing sander cohan as a human. anyway, thoughts everyone, is it coming and what will it be

First off; grammar.

Second off, if they do make it, it's gonna be horrid. End of story.

Apparenly its directed by Gore Verbinski, the guy behind Pirates of the Carribean. So it's got to be goo... Actually, screw optimism, it's going to suck.

Serious. I can barely read it.

I will see the movie out of morbid curiosity, and will hopefully not hate the game afterward.

I was trying to give it a little bit of hope because Gore is directing it. Since before he started directing he was in special effects. He's always tries to get the best out of those effects cause he knows how to do it, what to tweek and what to just give up on.

I'm not holding my breath for it, but a small part of me hopes for good things.

That flag is awesome...

I am of course in no way agreeing with use of Nazi references, symbolism, language etc as such a movement will gain the Escapist a bit of a bad reputation...

It will be hard to make a movie where the main character doesnt talk or show his face.

there have been movies done in first-person perspective before - russian ark immediately comes to mind.

Never heard of it. Ive seen a few like Blair Witch and Cloverfield but the dont count becuase the camera guy talked and the filmed themselves.

the main character speaks in russian ark [and provides some wonderful narration], but you never see him, and i suppose he just as easily could have remained silent.

well that Means that They can cast almost anyone for it, assuming they don't Talk

I don't think it would have to be filmed as the game plays.
I thought the first person part of DOOM looked ridiculous.
**I'm only half way through the game so please no spoilers if I'm unaware of something that makes my point invalid.**

It has potential I'd imagine. If they did the one thing I'd be curious about is Jacks dialogue. If I was the director I'd most likely have to force him to open his mouth once in awhile but his personality is not even explained in the games and is driven by the players decisions (sort of, vaguely) - if they were going to mess something up it would be Jacks personality. In any case I doubt we can expect raping of the little sisters intestines in search for slugs. Not from Jack, anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if they did cram a scene like that in with a splicer doing it that would be quite neat.

tl;dr the film could turn out interesting provided they don't do something gay with Jacks personality.

If the latest street fighter movie is anything to go by, it'll suck harder than a quantum singularity.

It will suck harder than a black hole on a Red Dwarf. I haven't played Bioshock but video game movies in general have been HORRIBLE. Except for Disgaea the Anime Series which doesn't count because it is an anime TV series and not a movie. (well I liked that Disgaea anime series but others disagree)
