Now that the long-stagnant BioShock film adaptation is apparently seeing life again, Steven asks: can this film adaptation be the first good movie based on a video game?

Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.
It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.
i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.
but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story
Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.
its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
2K Cloud Chamber is ramping up recruitment with 30 job offers on its BioShock team. There's still no word on when the game will launch, though.
Actually looking forward to playing "Judas" from.Ken Levines development team .
with the right writers and director absolutely. As long as we keep it as far away from a guy named Uwe Boll as possible.
Given the biggest hang ups on this movie production is cost, I highly doubt it. Unless they get permission to dumb it down, make it PG-13, or completely change the setting out of the water (biggest contributing factor to cost). Then again, they could do a BioShock Infinite setting, less horror and theological to bring it to the masses.
Yes it can work, but not in the way people would expect.
I think an Andrew Ryan biopic leading up to the downfall of Rapture would be insanely good if done right. Not sure how they'd do one set after the downfall, unless they turn it into a straight up horror film.
