A short while back we thought we had the green light on BioShock’s production – Gore Verbinski was discarding the Pirates 4 project and everything looked set to go. Shortly after Universal put the project on hold because of spiraling budgets of +£160m.
Now Verbinski tells the LA Times:
The bottom line is [BioShock] has to shoot out of the States for budget reasons and my schedule may be prohibitive. There’s a great script and a really interesting cast. It really comes down to the financial model now. Big movies are just not being shot in the States. I’m weighing whether I can physically go the U.K. or Australia or one of those other places with a tax rebate for a year-and-a-half.
It’s now highly questionable that Gore Verbinski will eventually helm the BioShock adaptation.

The reseon is very easy、
dude it is far because it would cost a crap load of money to get the cast and crew out of the states, and the cost of making the setting/ making the setting look like it’d underwater.
I think it would look just fine if they green screened it like 300 or animated like the Final Fantasy movies.
NO WAY CGI that would definitely suck major butt. the final fantasy movies had to have been some of the worst movies i’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing.
This is a movie you can DEFINITELY NOT screw up by corny graphics.
what about animation like dead space?
why not something like Avatar?
