Universal studios has planned to put Bioshock, the horror first-person shooter video game, on the big screen. The movie will be based off the 2007 Bioshock and was planned to be directed by directed by Gore Verbinski, who is known for directing the movies Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mexican, and The Ring.
Unfortunately, in a series of events that have happened in the past few months, the film had been put on hold for reasons such as, A: the budget being too big (they wanted to make it at a budget of $160 million dollars) and B: the director and studio disagreeing on where the movie should be shot, as Verbinski wanted to make it outside of the U.S. while Universal did not. After a series of these disagreements, Universal decided to have Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who directed the sequel 28 Weeks Later and Intacto. In doing this, they hope to make the movie have a budget around $100 million dollars and keep to their demands. Verbinski, however, will still be a producer.
As of now, it is in the production phase. So, it looks like the film is being made, and that it should, hopefully, come out in the next few years.
