That might be why we won't be getting a video game version of Guillermo del Toro's upcoming flick The Hobbit any time soon.

The movie is slated for 2012, which isn't enough time to tackle the game version as well del Toro explains. According to the director:

It's too ambitious to try and tackle that along with The Hobbit. We have such tight release dates.

Del Toro says that he and his team will be involved in The Hobbit game, but adds that he won't be as involved as he'd liked to be. Understandable, we hear he has a day job. Something about being a big time Hollywood director? Dunno.

If true, that adaptation would need a proven director who's able to handle dark, atmospheric movies. That adaptation would need Hellboy director Guillermo de Toro. The helmer writes on his official message board:


I love BIOSHOCK from a design point of view but Unless its a HELLBOY sequel I am not that eager to engage in another action-oriented movie. Even if the other elements are right. BUt- if I found the right pitch on the material, who knows- the BIOSHOCK universe is indeed wonderful.

Man, Guillermo del Toro is one of the few directors I can see making an unsucky BioShock flick. So, hear that? If he finds the right pitch, he's on board. If not, he'll still this still-rumored-movie out, and we'll get some crappy director instead. This isn't the first time his name has come up with a game adaptation. Del Toro almost says he almost directed the still-in-development-hell Halo movie, but ended up doing Hellboy 2 instead. About the unrealized Halo flick, he adds, "There's great movie to be made, read the novels..."
