BioShock Heads to Hollywood

BioShock Heads to Hollywood
Written Friday, May 09, 2008 by Geoff White

New York, NY – May 9, 2008 – 2K Games announced today that it has reached an agreement for BioShock®, the universally acclaimed smash-hit video game, to be developed as a feature film by Universal Pictures. 2K Games, whose 2K Boston and 2K Australia studios developed BioShock, is a video game publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO).

The prospect of bringing this blockbuster game to life has attracted not only a major studio, but top Hollywood talent. Gore Verbinski, director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, is slated to direct and produce the BioShock movie. John Logan, Academy Award-nominated writer of Gladiator, The Aviator and Sweeney Todd, is in talks to do the screenplay.

The expected release date and terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

An original property developed by 2K Games, BioShock is one of the most successful new interactive entertainment franchises to launch in recent years. A critical and consumer hit, BioShock has sold more than 2 million units worldwide since its release in August 2007. A sequel to the game, BioShock 2, is planned for a release in 2009.

"We are excited that 2K Games' vision for BioShock will be carried forward in a new medium," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two. "BioShock has been hailed as one of the most highly cinematic and richly plotted titles in interactive entertainment, making it extremely well-suited to film. In partnering with Universal and Gore Verbinski, we have assembled a team that respects the uniqueness of BioShock and will translate it into a powerful movie experience."

Mr. Zelnick added, "Our ability to attract a major studio and unparalleled creative team speaks volumes about the strength of our BioShock franchise. It also demonstrates how Take-Two is delivering value based on our strategy of creating and owning our industry's most powerful intellectual property."

Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K Games, noted, "BioShock fans appreciate the depth and complexity of the game, and our partnership with Gore Verbinski will introduce the world of Rapture to an even wider audience. In addition to his impressive body of work, Gore is an avid video gamer and true fan of BioShock. That was extremely important to us in deciding to move forward with this project."

BioShock: Triumph of the Imagination


Considered to be one the finest games in the history of interactive entertainment, BioShock unfolds as a deep and exciting adventure. Barely surviving a plane crash, the player lands in icy uncharted waters and discovers an undersea city called Rapture, a failed utopia whose citizens had embraced genetic engineering before the city descended into pure anarchy. Power and greed have run amok and the city has succumbed to civil war. It is a gripping game that forces the player to make complex moral choices. Fans have embraced BioShock's mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. BioShock is also renowned for its rich visual detail depicting a gorgeous Art Deco world set deep beneath the sea.

BioShock has earned some of the highest ratings and strongest accolades in video game history. It is one of the best-rated titles for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, with a MetaCritic rating of 96. Numerous organizations bestowed "Game of the Year" status on BioShock in 2007, including The Associated Press, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Game Informer, Spike TV's Video Game Awards, G4's X-Play, Amazon.com, The Houston Chronicle and Paste Magazine. Additionally, BioShock ranked among the top 10 titles on many other "Best of 2007" award lists, including The New York Times, Time Magazine and Maxim. BioShock was internally developed by 2K Boston and 2K Australia and is owned by the 2K Games label of Take-Two Interactive Software.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Bioshock was phenomenal...one of the best ever. I'm sure we can look forward to a rendition of Bioshock along the quality of the Bloodrayne movies or hitman. Too bad......too bad.

I think as long as they keep it to a 1 or 2 movie bit it will be fine, but if they drag it out like they did with Pirates of the Carribean then its DOOMED.

So long as they don't cast big names to fill the roles, I think it could work well.

Comment #12 by ThrawnOmega
Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 03:10:09 PM

This will be absolutely AMAZING!!! or a complete mess. It really depends on how they adapt it. Hopefully they preserve the sociological/philosophical bent of the same and make that the core theme of the movie, and not make it some "Look at this dude shooting splicers!" sort of movie devoid of any mental/emotional depth.

i dunno about this. Bioshock is such a good game in my opinion and I hope they don't ruin it with a crappy movie.

Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 03:20:29 PM

I think itll depend on the acting, not directing. I love the Pirates movies and i think hell do a great job on Bioshock. They just need to get some talent in the movie

the fact that he (the director) is a huge fan of the game and has actually played it is a huge plus. I wont damn this one till I see it because it has tons of potential.

and thank god it wasnt given to uwe boll to ruin.

lets see how bad they can screw up a movie with a great premade plot,storyline and characters... f hollywood

Comment #18 by Asholay
Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 03:38:38 PM

Sorry, but I don't think Gore Verbinski is even slightly the right guy for the job - I mean his list of directed titles can be counted on your fingers, and none of them relate to the bioshock genre, or even its era...????

There's no way he'll capture the deeper essence of what Bioshock was, it will just be a standard movie with various references to key items/plot markers of the game...

Please prove me wrong, as there is potential for an amazing film if done properly!

Comment #19 by pasiip

Wow with all this major happenings in the works, Take-Two should be into some decent money and EA will have to fork over a shit-load of money if they would want to buy them out now.

Comment #21 by Drakunzar

If the film turns out to be as good as the game, i'll buy the DVD. Twice.

Comment #22 by Johnny Candles
Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 03:59:03 PM

At first I thought a Bioshock movie would be great but I bet Hollywood won't let it be as dark and twisted as it should be. Bioshock is borderline "horror" at some points. Hollywood won't release anything that dark.

Comment #23 by g2thecore
Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 04:03:11 PM

I think it will be a great success. At least I hope that it is. I would hate to see them turn such a masterpiece into a shitty movie. Here's hoping it's a blockbuster hit!

Comment #24 by Lord of Orion
Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 04:08:51 PM

This should be an awesome success! Movies based upon games do not usually turn out well because they have a weak story behind them (i.e. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Double Dragon, Mario Bros., Bloodrayne, etc.) In my mind, Resident Evil came as close as any game will for this success and I hope that Bio Shock will blow RE out of the water for success.

And yes, I know that I am probably missing credit to a movie and giving too much credit to RE, but that is just my take on the subject.

Looking forward to this. Game did cry "movie" from the start and it will be interesting what route it will go down. Anything will be beter than the Resident Evil movie series...

Be more certain of it when a trailer comes out.

Comment #31 by Dermatophyte
Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 04:28:58 PM

This has some serious potential if they don't rush it and put really good CG in it. The story line was ok but the character design and setting was awesome! Hollywood will manage to screw it up though.

Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 04:30:03 PM

Keep in mind they have a great screenwriter (Logan) to complete the script. He did Sweeney Todd, Aviator, Gladiator, etc. There is hope! I'm not a Verbinski fan, but he seems really dedicated to the source material.

Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 05:26:56 PM

to tell you the truth i didnt really think this game was all that great. i was dissapointed i bought it and i guessing the movie will make it even worst. they need to stop turning games to movies cuz quite frankly it usually kills them.

Comment #53 by Evo Stephen
Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 08:59:34 PM

Oh, son of a sorry sack of shit. This is ridiculous. Bioshock is possibly my favorite game of all time, but it does NOT need to be a movie just simply because it WILL be trashed. We aren't supposed to know what Jack looks like, and I don't want to. I'm just pissed off.

If ever a video game could be made into a good movie, I'd have to say that BioShock does have some serious potential. We'll just have to wait and see. True, Hollywood has a real knack for failing to live up to our expectations but I think they're getting better, Silent Hill was almost good.

Comment #73 by NAFeS
Saturday, May 10, 2008 @ 06:46:51 AM

KEEP THE ROCK FARRRRRR AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!

It could work. Only thing that's going to annoy me, will be the introduction of a new character for the 'player' to investigate with. Wouldn't be very interesting if the 'player' was wandering around Rapture by himself, with a two-way radio as his only means of communication.

*sigh* Hollywood, just don't fuck it up.

Saturday, May 10, 2008 @ 10:32:31 AM

Bioshock was great, and the idea of turning it into a film is great. Whether or not it will be great is a differenty story, I wint make any judgements yet though. All I know is that 2k probably wouldnt care if it is rubbish cause theyll make loads anyway. I dont know which film im looking forward to most- Gears of War,Halo or this. Probably Gears of War. Im guessing ill still be looking froward to all 3 in a very long time though.
*sigh*

finally some confermation, altho im sceptical of whether itll be any good.
i mean the people who will be watching it will be the people who have played the game and like it, so we'll know the story, so they will have to add something good in there that we still dont know about to keep it interesting.

Sunday, May 11, 2008 @ 01:15:30 AM

Sounds like it has potential. Just because the director did family movies doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do a thriller. Mr. Brooks is a good example of this. The guys who did the movie Mr. Brooks worked for Disney and did some of the Honey I Shrunk The Kids movies, so don't underestimate genre changes.

Gore Verbinski is a hack director. This movie will be awful if he stays with the project. No matter how good the script/story is, Verbinski will make it suck.

Sunday, May 11, 2008 @ 07:58:24 PM

Amazing how quickly the massess can judge over nothing more than an initial announcement. Could it suck out loud? Absolutely. Could it be ok, or even GASP! Good?! Possibly. Hell, it might even get axed and not see the light of day. The only thing I think anyone can be sure of is that at least that piece of crap Uwe Boll isn't anywhere near it.....And the game was great (even though the endings sucked). If you thought it was crap go back to Halo, COD4 and Gears; you obviously don't care about plot development.

Sunday, May 11, 2008 @ 10:48:29 PM

Most video game movies are bad excluding the very few. One thing I wonder is how the movie will end and close it will be to the video game. Like for once if you saved the little sisters or harvested them you get a certain ending. How will the movie go if thoese choices in the game effect the outcome.

This is just proof we've entered the point where video game stories are much better than movie stories.

Example A: Mass Effect, Bioshock, others with greats stories.

Example B: xXx.

We all know that even if it was directed by a mound of dirt we would still be going to see it

Well this one could go either way...

If they respect the fact that Bioshock has one of the best settings out there and a rich, carefully thought out and plotted back story and stick to it's origins, it could well be the best game to movie adaption ever.

If however there is a splicer who turns good and becomes the hero's love interest, a mutated or engineered 'super daddy' or a wise cracking little sister with an attitude then it would be proof if proof were needed that Hollywood can't get it right, even when the tools are all there in the first place.

wow. in my opinion ya'll couldn't be any more wrong. look how dark and eery this guy has made a DISNEY franchise. imagine the fear he could add to the already grossly freightening world of rapture. this will be awesome.

I rather see the guys from Lost/Cloverfield to do this movie, but no matter what. Bioshock makes a very nice plot for a movie if you can capture the darkness, atmosphere and charachters.

Many games have been turned into less than respectable movies (most notorious being one of the Tomb Raiders but there are others).

What I would like to see them do, since the game itself really can't have the same plot line of the game is to either, 1. Have movie set after the game, and have a crash that brings a person to explore Rapture (and of course Atlas survived, as did Ryan) or 2. Have it set before the game, perhaps the introduction of plasmids, or the problems in the city central.

As for film styles, I would like to see it done in an almost noire style. Perhaps not to the extent of Sin City (which is a good film, even if it was dark), but rather more a Sky Captain of Tomorrow style. Almost comic-booky.

When the movie comes out though I will be thrilled to see some of ho

I'm interested to see how good this will be. It has a great storyline, but my only question is, where will most of the dialogue come from? You can't have one guy on a movie screen shooting splicers with people occasionally talking for an hour and a half.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
