Budget Battles Baffle BioShock Blockbuster

[Jared]

I hope they can do it well, and, if they do get the funds for it, make something thatw ill not only pay himage to it, but, will not just be a fan presentation too

It should be a prequel to the bioshock story, i think we all want to see what rapture was truly like before the war and it as Atlas says "Gone to hell"

That would be great to see it before.

Please please please be a good movie

I just can't help but think of how this is actually relevant here.

No, no, no. If you don't have the budget to make a Bioshock movie, don't bloody make one. Don't mess up the game's legacy but churning out a low budget horror flick. Try to procure a bigger budget to meet your needs and if you can't, pack it up and go home.

The thing is.You can't have a Bioshock movie without a gigantic budget.No matter how good you are with budgets,you will need many,many,many millions to make it proper.You would have to make it more expensive then Avatar...Yes,more then 200,000,000 Million Dollars.

Maybe a story about Andrew Ryan would be a good movie, if cannon can survive Bioshock2 it can turn the fall of Rapture into an action-flick nyoro~.

Exactly. To faithfully recreate something like Rapture for the big screen would cost an enormous amount of money, and I'd rather they didn't do it at all than try to do it with a small budget, because it just won't work.

This Timely Topic's Title has Abundant Alliterative Appeal

 

[Flamezdudes]

Perhaps by the time this is finished i'l be 18 and will be able to see it straight away, if not i'd have to wait for a DVD. Seeing how early it is i'l probably get it to see it when it comes out .

Seems like it could be good though, gonna keep an eye on it.

That would make the best film for Bioshock, I think. Maybe follow Bill McDonagh, since he seems to cover both sides of the Civil War fairly well, in my opinion.

 

[Ashhearth]

As amazingly awesome a Bioshock movie would be low budget just won't work seeing as the setting itself would probably eat most of their money. Rapture is a big and scary place and if your gonna make it into a movie it won't be right unless you get every gory detail in there.

Also love the title!

Wanna stay "true to the core audience"? Don't make the movie.

 

[GonzoGamer]

They just need to get a director that can work on a small budget like that. Someone like Jean Pierre Jeunet. He?s awesome, just see Delicatessen. That had a really small budget.

 

[tautologico]

I didn't know there were so many specialists in movie production here.

Actually, budget notwithstanding, he would be a really good choice. his sense of style, art, and set design is unparalleled. Not that I don't have some degree of confidence in Verbinski. As the Ring and Pirates of the Caribbean series show, he can deliver some pretty dark and creepy visuals and atmosphere.

 

[DragonChi]

As long as they make this movie pure pwnage, they can take as much time as they need. This movie has WIN written all over it.

 

[NaramSuen]

I think that the subject matter, libertarianism, unchecked scientific advancement, etc... are all very timely and should be examined. However, this film has the potential to degenerate into spectacle, focusing only on the creepiness of the little sisters and the grotesqueness of the Big Daddies. If it requires such a big budget to make properly as many here assume, then it is going to require big box office returns. Unfortunately, this often means sacrificing substance for style.

 

[Nouw]

Sounds and looks good. Hopefully its not R13, R16 is where the best movies are.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Why does the fact that it's R-rated affect the budget?

Of course re-creating Rapture is going to be expensive! Suck it up and hope that you make the movie good enough to make a profit.
