28 Weeks Later : “BioShock” Movie Still in the Works

Category Movie | Monday, July 5th, 2010

IGN caught up with director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) and asked about the big screen adaptation of the popular “BioShock” video game, which stalled in recent months due budget concerns.

“We’re working trying to make it,” he explained. “The problem with BioShock was: R-rated movie, underwater, horror. It’s a really expensive R-rated movie. So we’re trying to figure out a way working with [director] Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) to get the budget down and still keep so it’s true to the core audience. The thing is it has to be R, a hard R.”
