BioShock Movie

BioShock the movie will be a feature film adaption of the the original sci-fi themed first-person shooter game released in late 2007 to critical acclaim. Not only for its gameplay but also its immersive storyline, set in a ruined underwater city named Rapture.

After Universal Studios put the film development on hold earlier this year due to budget concerns, director Gore Verbinski dropped out. Taking his place will be 28 Weeks Later director, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Cinematical.com: 'Bioshock' Enlists '28 Weeks Later' Director

In early summer 2009, Universal Pictures put a hold on production of BioShock the movie. This was mainly due to concerns over its increasingly massive budget, said to be somewhere around $160 million. empireonline.com: Gore Verbinski Is Off Bioshock

Rumors began flying around the internet after Wentworth Miller posted a Twitter message saying “Prison Break may be ending, but I’ve got things in the works. Hint…one word: Bioshock.” . Speculation into the exact meaning of his message has ranged from him having more time to play Bioshock the game to him possibly doing voice work for the upcoming Bioshock 2 Video Game. The popular belief is that he will be cast as Jack in the film adaptation. slashfilm.com: Rumor: Wentworth Miller in Bioshock Movie?

No further information has come from Miller and the Twitter account used to post the message has since been suspended for unusual activity.
