Take-Two Interactive’s Chairman and CEO, Strauss Zelnick, shared the following statement about the upcoming BioShock movie adaptation: This won’t be the first attempt at a BioShock movie adaptation, anyway. Just a few months after the debut of the original game, Take-Two announced a partnership with Universal Studios to make the film, which would feature Gore Verbinski (The Ring, The Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lone Ranger, A Cure for Wellness) directing the project based on a script written by John Logan (The Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Sweeney Todd, Skyfall). However, the project was canceled just a few weeks before filming was supposed to begin. Verbinski himself revealed why: It sounds like it’s still early days for the Netflix project, but stay tuned on Wccftech to stay up to date on all rumors and news during its development.
