Bioshock the Movie Announced
It’s been announced that Universal and director Gore Verbinski are going to make a movie based on the hugely popular Xbox 360, Bioshock. It was a mega-hit seller last year and it won awards left and right for it’s story and depth.
“Bioshock” takes place in an underwater city based on the free market principles of Ayn Rand, but things have gone disastrously wrong. Players control a pilot who crash-lands at a secret entrance to the city, called Rapture, and is drawn into a power struggle during which he discovers that his will is not as free as he’d thought.
“I think the whole utopia-gone-wrong story that’s cleverly unveiled to players is just brimming with cinematic potential,” said Verbinski. “Of all the games I’ve played, this is one that I felt has a really strong narrative.”
So take that Kevin! Your favorite game is going to be made into a movie only let’s hope it doesn’t blow up your DVD player like the game did to your first Xbox 360.

Yes, and I wonder… will it be released on blu-ray? And will there be a game based on the movie? And will the game based on the movie suck as much as most movie tie-ins? We’ll see!
