Gore Verbinski Helms Big Screen Bioshock Adaptation

Hollywood really loves fucking up our favorite video games by remaking them into shitty live-action movies (actually, its mostly Uwe Boll’s fault). So when we heard today’s news about a Bioshock movie going into production, we got a little scared. At least semi-competent director Gore Verbinski (The Ring, Pirates of the Carribean) is behind it. Could be worse.

If you’re not familiar, Bioshock was released last year on the Xbox and PC to rave reviews. It’s an extremely creepy first-person shooter in which you survive a fiery plane crash, only to stumble upon an underwater city that’s overrun with unpredictable mutants. Watch the game’s preview after the jump.
