what are they gonna do for the story? it says right on the back of the box; "no encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way."
im still gonna see it day it comes out though

Movie / Game tie-in! do i need to say anymore?

so is it CGI or live action?

I still think it's gonna suck balls... I mean, what tells us that it's not gonna be some stupid blockbuster. I bet my eyes they're gonna destroy the story, wreck the photography (which is one of the reasons why I love it so much),
and put some pretty, famous faces, like singers that aren't really much of actors. And you know what's worse? They'll probably make an awful lot of money, because everyone who liked the game will go see it... EVEN ME!!!
AAAAGGGH ! ! !
At least that's what I think...

can't wait.... simply love BioShock....

Well, I'm excited.

Make it good. Don`t rush it out onto shelves. Take YEARS if you have to, But make it special. Bioshock books to follow I guess?

Come on Bioshock 2! then release the first movie.

They better not F this up

What are u doing to this game?!
Stop it!
Geeze!!!........They're gonna butcher this game.
It's bad enough it's getting a sequel which may dissapoint us all but now they want to make a movie?!

End Quote

They actually listened to the fans. They're going to make a prequel... Not a Sequel. Which I'm very happy about. A prequel would be much more interesting. As for the movie.... All the potential for a great movie is here in the game, we just have to hope that they pull it off. The director choice is a good start... Good director who's also a gamer and has actually played Bioshock all the way through... Thats a hell of a lot more promising than a director who plays a game for the purpose of making a movie. Also if this movie has any chance, every actor to play in this movie needs to play this game before ever reading the script so they can get the feel for the game and the atmosphere, before they get the feel for the script. This way they get a true artistic and personal experience/interpretation of the game before reading a script based on some writers interpretation of the game and give a means to better protray their roles. This is essential in my opinion. If approached properly from the gitgo, this has the potential of being as brilliant a movie as it is a game.

This is such a great idea!
wait a minute... Blade Runner!!! ::sob-sob::
well as long as they don't have an FPS scene like the Doom movie did. Although it was cool then, I think that seeing it in this film would kill it. There is no god mode after all...

the story and art can make a great precedent for a movie... being uwe boll doesnt touch it.

bioshock kill other consoles;then we must party;oh;little ps3 and nothing for good wii;poor consoles with poor games;

please please please dont kill Bioshock !

as long as uwe boll is not involved, im game

@ Hvac0120. That's a great idea and I looked into it but it doesn't look like Lemon Laws exist in Canada.

silent hill is a good movie, hope this is to.

@darkride66

I told Xbox that they were required by law to send me a new console. I cannot quote the exact line of the law at the moment, but there is a "Lemon Law" for electronic hardware where if certain criteria are met (yes, the 360 falls under this) that the manufacturer is required to replace your device with a newer/equivalent to the product you originally purchased. You also have the right, under this law, to refuse a replacement and you are entitled to a full refund for the product.

I had the law in front of me when I called and they sent me a new one that was only (I think) 1 month off the production lines. My RROD warranty ends Dec 31, 2008. I am not covered for anything else now. If this machine breaks, I may be coming back to this law to see if I am still eligible for that refund. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my luck isn't THAT bad. You should probably look into this too.

I didn't beat Halo 3 until March (maybe?). I played through Bioshock nearly 2 times after getting my 4th console.

i think to make a good film off it ironically they should not make too like a game. thats where i thik doom and hitman and many others fail, repetive action is great when you are playing a game, but is seriously boring to watch!! i think they have a good idea in aftershock, just hope it develops well and captures the bladerunner style atmosphere.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

Sounds awesome! I think this CAN be successfully converted into a really great movie-- I just hope they actually DO make it into as great of a movie as it can be, and it doesn't end up like Doom, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc... I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Its gonna suck, like the resident evil movies, the doom movie, and many more out there. You cant transfer something like bioshock to the big screen PERIOD.

I think they could pull this off. But I reckon Bioshock as a film would take a long time to make.

That's interesting

@ Hvac0120. My last 360 console (I'm on #4 as well) went just before the Halo 3 launch. I had my copy pre-ordered so it was just over a month that I had to sit with my copy of Halo3 in my hand, staring longingly at the shelf on my entertainment console where my 360 should be. Occasionally I'd push the disc toward the empty spot, pretending there was a console there. Ok, that's not completely accurate. I actually got quite addicted to Warhawk during this period. Eventually I finished Halo3 twice with my wife but the multiplayer didn't really do anything for me, finished Bioshock and went back to Warhawk until COD4 came out, which I grabbed on my PS3 because at this point I decided only to buy exclusives on the 360 so I don't get burned again. The console they shipped me this time was older than the one it replaced, so I don't have much faith in it holding out for very long, and my 3 year warranty is almost up because I bought my 360 at launch.

@darkride66

That's how my Halo 3 experience went coupled with the fact that I hadn't beat Bioshock by the time I had troubles. My experience may have been a little worse.

I played about 80% of Bioshock. Then Halo 3 came out. The day after Halo launched my second 360 RROD'd on me. 30 days later I receive my refurb. I got to play about 4 hours within a week and half. After that, the refurb began to freeze and eventually wouldn't start up at all. Would just freeze on boot-up screen. I was without my 360 from beginning of October to late-December (I think I got it back the friday before christmas - would have to look at records).

All that time I went without getting to see how Bioshock turned out and had only played a small bit of Halo's campaign and online. Needless to say, I wasn't happy with the situation.

Just hope this doesn't get butchered,

Lets not have another Doom episode on our hands!
Possibly the worsed conversion from game to movie ever! It was bad!! Didn't even stick to the story of the game!!!

To me the game felt like a movie so I don't see why this is so bad. As long as its recognizable aside from the name.

NO NO NOOOOOOooooOOOOOO!!!
What are u doing to this game?!
Stop it!
Geeze!!!........They're gonna butcher this game.
It's bad enough it's getting a sequel which may dissapoint us all but now they want to make a movie?!
I can see this being a fast-cash thriller.
For the love of gOD!! Say it ain't sooo!!!!

I almost wished the game wasn't as great as it was.
At least then it wouldn't have to be humiliated by all this.....
I'm soo depressed now.....

Hvac0120 said "This movie needs to be 3 hours long in order to capture the essence of the game."
To really capture the essence of the game they should have the screen go black half way through and blink the RROD at you. Then force movie viewers to wait a month and a half to see how it turns out. That's how my Bioshock experience went. Hardware problems aside, this was still my favorite game of last year.

This movie needs to be 3 hours long in order to capture the essence of the game. It will be strange from a gamers perspective watching the movie and seeing a fully scripted character go through this adventure. The movie also will make the decision to harvest or save and that will be hard to pull off without upsetting some people.

This game has a story that could be told very well in the cinema. I really hope that they are able to pull this off. This could be a big hit.

If done right this could be one helluva good movie.

I hope that the movie is good the game was amazing lets hope that the movie is to

Here's hoping it's a good one. Not all game movies are bombs. The RE series is pretty good.

At least it has a good director. Maybe this is the videogame-to-movie we've been waiting for. Maybe it'll finally show hollywood that videogame stories are more than worthy of being made into decent movies and not just steaming pilaes of sh*t like almost every other videogame-to-movie made so far. I certainly hope so, I loved the game, I hope I love the movie.

If the movie actually follows the game's script and plot then it has the potential of being pleasant. However a game to movie adaptation rarely works because the people making the movie are not the same people that are playing the game! They're not gamers...so they have no clue what it is about the game that we love.

I wish the Movie industry would stop making second rate game based movies. I try to avoid them at all cost. this one probably wont be any different. shame.

I came to know this by Feb. 2nd

They got the news late

This sounds like it has some potential.

as long as he doesn't pull a Doom on us

wow so "unexpected"

HAHAHAHAH ihope it will be a movie smoke a joint and relax when the movie begins and burst with laughter.

If they do it, I hope they do an equally impressive job in recreating the world of Rapture. There hasn't been a good video-game-adapted movie.

I didnt play bioshock. Since my pc is third to my Ps3 adn Wii. But i'm sick of movie companies ruining games with crappy movies. Or at least there sweat memories whatever console you play.

they butcher bioshock, i butcher them.

very very very very very slim chance this will be decent

Would you kindly not completely yang this property?

Please don't ruin the Storyline of the game.
