BioShock to become a Movie

Variety reports that Universal has purchased the rights to turn one of my favorite games, BioShock, into a feature film. They’ve attached Gore Verbinski to direct and John Logan to script the adaptation.

BioShock is perfect material for a feature length film, but they will need to make sure that they adapt it to be a standalone movie, not just a retelling of the game story line. Being that the main character in the game is you, they will need to introduce a main character that fits well into concept, but doesn’t overshadow the other characters and events from the game.

Both Logan and Verbinski have done excellent franchise adaptations in the past, so I have to say that I’m pretty damn excited about this one.
