BioShock movie suspended due to budget concerns |
Ó
Big Daddy LIVE!
In fact, the studio has already let some of the staff go, to try to cut back on the budget that shot up to US$ 160million. Hold it right there, they said. Now the supposed LA shoot has been cancelled, and the team is now looking for other alternatives, such as going to London instead. At this point I'd have to ask: how is that cheaper?
Verbinski answers that question:
We were asked by Universal to move the film outside the U.S. to take advantage of a tax credit. We are evaluating whether this is something we want to do. In the meantime, the film is in a holding pattern.
Don't worry, though. The folks behind the production and the studio giant are said to be "determined to make the pic." And noe, they're not gonna pull a Halo on this one, they said.
The movie adaptation was first announced May of 2008.
Cross your fingers.

I didn't even know there was a movie in the works.... And LOL at the picture, hillarous.
I didn't know either. Hard to believe they announced it almost a year ago O_o lol that picture is funnny and very creative XD if they ever do make the movie, i hope it will be good :)
hopefully the budget concerns won't make them cut too much out and thus increase the suckage factor.. lets be honest, most movies based on video games don't end up well. DOOM anyone?
don't forget about dragon ball z and street fighter
Mortal Kombat 2: Annihilation So awful it even had the tag line "Annihilate all expectations"
at that damn picture!!

I have fond memories of that as well. Sitting there thinking "wtf is this sh*t". So bad it was good If they do it right a Bioshock movie could be very good tho.
