2K Games announces an agreement with Universal Studios as Gore Verbinski signs on to direct...
Rumoured in the months since Bioshock became a huge hit on Xbox 360 and PC, 2K Games today announced that it has reached an agreement with Universal Pictures to develop the videogame into a feature film.
Enlisting Gore Verbinski to the project as director after his work on the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, 2K Games and Universal Studios are currently in talks with John Logan to do the screenplay after his Academy Award nominated work on the Gladiator, along with writing credits on The Aviator and Sweeney Todd.
"We are excited that 2K Games' vision for BioShock will be carried forward in a new medium," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two. "BioShock has been hailed as one of the most highly cinematic and richly plotted titles in interactive entertainment, making it extremely well-suited to film. In partnering with Universal and Gore Verbinski, we have assembled a team that respects the uniqueness of BioShock and will translate it into a powerful movie experience."
Mr. Zelnick added, "Our ability to attract a major studio and unparalleled creative team speaks volumes about the strength of our BioShock franchise. It also demonstrates how Take-Two is delivering value based on our strategy of creating and owning our industry's most powerful intellectual property."
Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K Games, noted, "BioShock fans appreciate the depth and complexity of the game, and our partnership with Gore Verbinski will introduce the world of Rapture to an even wider audience. In addition to his impressive body of work, Gore is an avid video gamer and true fan of BioShock. That was extremely important to us in deciding to move forward with this project."
A release date and precise terms of the agreement were not revealed.
