Bioshock Movie Update / Fan Film

The Bioshock movie can't seem to catch a break. First, director Gore Verbinksi bailed because no one would support his R-rated version of Rapture. 28 Weeks Later Director Juan Carlos stepped in, but now he's abandoned the flooding city, too. The future of this movie is certainly looking bleak as it struggles to find a budget, and that's depressing news considering Bioshock is one of the most impressive modern franchises and crafted a eerily beautiful world to explore. So while we patiently wait for any good news regarding a big screen adaptation (I still want a comic!), one group decided to take matters into their own hands and create a fan film. Once you're done watching, share your thoughts on who you'd want to direct the adaptation. Enjoy.

I have no idea why Bioshock is getting a film. The game is far too expansive to cram into a two hour film.

@Illuminatus: 2.5 hours in the right hands could do a great job teasing us with the world and leave it open to a potential trilogy.

Then again, I'm a big fanboy of the franchise :D

Bioshock sucks.

Y U BREAK MY HEART?

@Illuminatus: See above as well.

Because its incredibly fun?

@ReVamp:

@k4tzm4n: If I were to be serious, I don't really see potential in a Bioshock movie. Or at least, I don't think it could do the game justice.

I hope it's become a movie. And think would be good as in r rated film. Also I can't for new one to come. It looks really nice

@ReVamp: @Deranged Midget: @HolySerpent: @Illuminatus: Well, under the assumption it does move forward, who would be your choice to direct? And what part of the story would it focus on?

I still really want a prequel comic. Maybe following a family when the chaos begins.

/fanboyism

@k4tzm4n: 1 is really the only option.

Yeah, Del Toro would be ideal, but the man can't commit to a project for more than a month before flaking and moving on to something else he "truly cares about". I love the guy's artistic-style, but he's annoying. 
 
Anyways, they should just give it too Neil Blomkamp.

Nolan...

@texasdeathmatch: Part of me would love to see that just because we know how awful it would be.

But then everything else in me is saying

@texasdeathmatch: But it's such a good franchise, damn it!

@texasdeathmatch: I strongly disagree with rubbish. I agree that using the same environment twice took away a huge part of the appeal to much of the crowd (didn't have the same impact a second time around), but I still really enjoyed playing through the story. Seeing the world through the little sister's eyes was pretty damn neat-o, too.

Then again, I <3 Bioshock. It's easily in my top 5 games.

Plus, Infinite looks sweet.

@Bearded Justice: That's exactly why it has encountered so many issues.

@texasdeathmatch said:

when in doubt, go to Uwe.

Uwe never fails...

Personally, as far as game franchises go, i'm still waiting for Metal Gear to hit the big screen, I would say God of War, but the whole Clash of the Titans/Wrath of the Titans basically took that helm.

@progenitor: It's tough to hate the man when he's so happy looking all the time, lol.

What about Half-Life? That seemed like an obvious choice for such a long time.

@k4tzm4n: lol, I think he's happy because of the German tax loophole that makes him a fortune which, in turn, funds his P.O.S. movies (I just saw his latest Bloodrayne movie, regrettably).

You know, funny enough, I never got into the Half-Life title, i've had a few friends that enjoy the series, but otherwise, the main games I stick to are the Resident Evil series, Metal Gear, Dead Space, etc. I used to be a huge arcade buff, and stuck to action games when I was a kid, but as i've gotten older, survival and horror/action 3rd person player games have definitely kind of held a place in my heart.

@Deranged Midget: <3 District 9.

@progenitor: No problem there, man. To each their own. Resident Evil 4 is a must own, imho. I'm excited for 6. And Dead Space? Those games simply rock so far.

I hate horror survival...

@ReVamp: Why for?

@progenitor: BECUZ AHM SCARED.

Honestly though, its because I hate the concept of saving up on Ammo. It irritates me.

LOL. Yeah, I can understand that, it irritates me too at times. I can honestly say the only survival horror that freaks me out is the Dead Space series, especially Dead Space 2, which I highly recommend, I torture my fiancee by playing it when we're together. I think the only survival horror game where you didn't have to worry about ammo was either Resident Evil 2 or 3.

@ReVamp: A spray n' pray kind of guy, eh?

Personally, I like the notion of restricted ammo. It puts you on edge and you need to make sure you use all of your weapons wisely. A perfect fit for horror survival, since you need to feel like you're not an unstoppable soldier and you're never safe.

GO BACK TA HALOZ, REVAAMPZOE.

Never played Dead Space, heard its scary as fck. LOL

Not necessarily. I just don't like the notion of the fact that if you use all your ammo at one point, you're fcked up ahead. Then again I never actually played through one whole Survival Horror game, so I'm not sure that's the case.

U JUS MAD CUS I GUT SKILLZ AT DA GAME, KETZZZZ

@ReVamp: Honestly, I never ran out of ammo. When it came to battle heavy sequences, I'd definitely blast through all of my ammo in the weapons I was saving for the right moment and more powerful choices, but I'd usually walk out with at least half a clip for my back-up weapon of choice. Plus, after such hectic sequences the game would usually give you more ammo before it happened and almost always plenty after.

PROBLEM?

But really, I love Halo as well. I'm a shooter junkie.

Wait, that sounds wrong.

@k4tzm4n: UR A DRUGGY?

@k4tzm4n: Yeah, I guess. I wouldn't really know.

That doesn't make sense, why would I have a problem with being better than you... o.o

I don't like Halo.

Nothing wrong with the truth man.

@progenitor: I love Bane and Kraven for a reason...

lol but really, major no.

@ReVamp: You should give a demo for one of them a shot if you have a 360/PS3.

OH, SNAP. You're lucky all of my screenshots of my Counter-Strike glory days were on a computer long gone.

What franchises do you like?

@k4tzm4n: lulz, well I guess I can relate, seeing as my 2 favorites are Captain America and Albert Wesker. DRUGGIES ASSEMBLE!

@k4tzm4n: I have. I said a full game on purpose.

Good game, if a bit outdated its still beautiful.

What Franchised don't you like? (I require an answer first so I can give you a truthful answer)

Nah, I kid. Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, CoD -- before it went to hell, Battlefield (2142) and right now I'm into Tribes: Ascend.

@Deranged Midget: Yeah, I've heard quite a few bad things about RE: ORC.

@Deranged Midget: Sounds like a good way to spend $60!
