It was previously rumored that Verbinski would be helming the project, but here is the big news we’ve been waiting for – he has given up his directing chair on Pirates of the Caribbean 4 to take on the BioShock project – Gore Verbinski shall be helming the video game adaptation. Verbinski directed all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies as well as the US Ring remake.

A year since the announcement that a movie would be made it looks like the ball might soon be rolling into the realms of pre-production.
