BIOSHOCK Director: Gore Verbinski

From Variety:
Universal and Gore Verbinski are going into “Bioshock.”
Studio has signed a deal to turn last year’s hit videogame, which won numerous awards and sold more than 2 million units worldwide, into a film.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” helmer is attached to direct and produce. “Aviator” scribe John Logan is in talks to pen the screenplay.
“Bioshock” takes place in an underwater city based on the free market principles of Ayn Rand, but things have gone disastrously wrong. Players control a pilot who crash-lands at a secret entrance to the city, called Rapture, and is drawn into a power struggle during which he discovers that his will is not as free as he’d thought.
I’m curious to see what Gore Verbinski is going to do with this amazing and scary story. It’s going to be… well, very “gory.”
The City Of Ember trailer totally reminds me of bioshock, they are making a bioshock movie but I think this one will be better. From the trailer you can just tell how amazing all the set designs, and the amazing cast of actors they have cast will bring this book to life.
My name is Blair Landon and I am an official ambassador for City of Ember. I have access to first-look pics of the movie not seen in the trailer (located on MySpace), and i’d love you to take a peak at them! I could also really use your help in spreading the word about COE and get lots of buzz going!
Don’t forget to check out the widget we have too. It’s pretty interactive and shows you where all the other City of Ember fans are around the world!
Again, I hope I’m not over-stepping and bounds by posting on your blog.
Best,Blair Landon
