Wow. This could turn out to be great news. According to a Variety article (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117985365.html?categoryid=13&cs=1), Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean director) has been snagged to direct the movie adaptation of Bioshock. Even better, John Logan, the screenwriter on The Last Samurai, The Aviator, Gladiator and more, is going to be doing the screenplay. AND, the Take Two Chairman, Strauss Zelnick, has supposedly structured the deal in such a way that it actually happens, unlike other notable (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/04/02/rumor-new-writer-takes-on-halo-movie-script/) video games movies that have attempted to run the Hollywood gauntlet. With such a setup as this, we could be looking at the beginnings of the best video game movie ever made. Hmm ... we wonder what Uwe Boll thinks of this?
