"Bioshock" coming to the theaters near you, no gamepad required.
Variety reports that Universal has signed a deal with
Take Two to get the last year's critic's favorite video game into the cinemas worldwide. The director signed for the job is nobody else, but Gore Verbinski (
Pirates Of The Caribbean and
The Weatherman, an excellent indie feature). Verbinski spoke very highly of
BioShock, complimenting on its narrative, style and possibilities the game holds for the big screen.
The screenwriter is John Logan, known for
The Last Samurai, The Aviator and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. It is currently unclear whether the Bioshock original lead, Ken Levine contribute to the project.
This is the most expensive "video game to movie" deal yet. Will it be the best?
