]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> @justhesh: Unfortunately it's because I call all movies a "hollywood movie". Which is my mistake.

I_Hate_This_Place

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> @I_Hate_This_Place: It doesn't disqualify it. But your vast mistake in that department does bring the rest under serious scrutiny.

Where you come up with the idea that it was a Hollywood movie, I have no idea. But the fact that the whole thing was in Spanish, directed by a Mexican director, distributed by a Mexican film company, and set in Spain around the time of the Spanish civil war...well, how you could so royally screw that up makes anything else you say highly questionable, to say the least.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> @dowingba: Hmm, nice way to think about it. I always assumed she liked the demon because, if I remember correctly, there is one point wher she pisses him off and thinks he is never coming back, and she seems really sad about it(that, or she was afraid of it leaving, I forget). I agree about the fruit supposed to be irresistible, but the imps should have been a huge reminder, IMO. Maybe I'm just being too harsh becasue I bought it expecting more out of the film than what I got.

I_Hate_This_Place

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> Prequel about the fall of Rapture. The tapes from the game already set up all the major characters and story. Everything from the woman with the scar to the asian doctor to Ryan and the dancer.

We even know how it'd end - something that could be seen as a beacon of hope or the continued perversion of that world - something that is left to us, as the players, to resolve.

I can already hear the sound of the first big daddy in that crowded theater. It will chill souls.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> Del Toro would be pretty good. But I would definitely want J.J. Abrams to have something to do with my perfect BioShock movie.

DarkCrow13

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> @I_Hate_This_Place: I didn't find that she was "trusting" that demon at all throughout the movie. To me, it seemed she went into that place because of her curiosity and because of the idea that she might really be some mythical princess (or whatever). She was taking a calculated risk, in my opinion. Her real life was so depressing that she couldn't pass up the slightest opportunity for something better. I could relate to it, on some level; but maybe you couldn't, and that's all right.

And I think the idea behind eating the fruit was that there was something about the fruit that was irresistible, and she couldn't ...resist.

dowingba

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> @dowingba: Not excited, sorry if it seems that way. I was jsut responding to your question detailing my train of thought that gave me the conclusion I stated earlier. And again, I'll say that you can't say "would you trust that demon?!?!" when she had already been trusting the thing, even enough to go into that hell.

dowingba

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> @dowingba: Gee, i don't know. Maybe becuase it was pretty obvious by the setting that she shouldn't eat the food. Even if she wasn't trusting of her new "friend", it was obvious that touching the food could have woken up the demon at the table, one that she knows eats children from the paintings on the wall. But even the friendly imp-like creatures were trying to tell her not to do it. But your entire argument is baseless anyway, as she obviously trusted him enough to go into the door in the first place.
@justhesh: Yes, that automatically disqualifies anything I say. Good try, asshole.

You'd have to be incredibly stupid to just obey that creepy thing without question like you seem to be suggesting.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> Did someone say "musical"? An all-Big Daddy dance scene would be awesome.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> There's no way in hell the game's main plot twist would work as well in a movie. I think the reason the scene was so effective is because of the interactivity games offer.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> @I_Hate_This_Place: That is about the strangest criticism of Pan's Labyrinth I could imagine. So you would prefer for her to have done what she was told, so that the movie could end sooner and everyone would be happy? If you haven't dealt with children to a great extent, they don't always do what they're told. Even when told so by people who they should really, really listen to (e.g., teachers, their parents). Much less sprites and giants.

Anyway, I believe Del Toro would be a great person to direct a Bioshock movie if such a movie has to be made.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> Thankfully Take 2 isn't whoring Bioshock out to the highest bidder. They seem legitimately concerned with making sure anything that comes out of their first non-GTA property that's ever succeeded is quality.

RawSteelUT

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> The problem is that Bioshock is a beautiful piece of art as it is. And that means first person.
It immerses you because of this, and the only time you speak in the whole game is in the opening cutscene. How could they make a movie of the game in third person? The idea of the game was that YOU make the choices, making an emotional connection with their outcome.
How can you make an emotional connection to the face of the protagonist/antagonist if you can't sculpt it yourself?

Bioshock was a great game and if they ignored the story then it just wouldn't be bioshock anymore. The idea of using CGI is great but it also takes much more to time to make.

Sorry, but I would hate Bioshock to turn into another stupid movie where half of the movie would have been over with had the main protagonaist NOT done what everyone including little flying imps told them not to do. I was so happy when that little girl died. You have to be some kind of stupid to specifically do what a gaint demon told you not to do, and on top of it having flying imps reminding you what not to do while you do it. Stories in most movies are shit nowadays becuase hollywood can't figure out how to progress the movie without having a character make the dumbest decision that no person with a double digit IQ would have ever made. /rant

Good job Take Two. Fuck hollywood for having to turn every movie into some sort of love interest. Especially after they messed up Hitman by adding a stupid Russian hooker.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> The trouble with this idea of Bioshock as a movie is that the video game told the story rather well already.

Most movie adaptations of video games have their own story line, not 100% relating to the game that inspired them.

In Bioshock's case, I would ask them to kindly reproduce most of the story line faithfully. But in doing that, they just made a movie I've seen before!

taftsearlobe23

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> This is the sort of thing that could work very well as a prequel. Have it set as Andrew Ryan's days as an entrepreneur in the surface, only to be continuously shot down. Then, through some convoluted means, have him secure the financial and material resources necessary to build Rapture and sink it. Show the rise of Rapture, and a time of great prosperity. Show the advent of splicing, and how, for a time, everyone's lives were made much better as a result. Show corruption in the splicing industry. Show the downfall of Rapture, and the conflict with Atlas. Show people getting drilled into the wall by Big Daddies. Show the creation of the Little Sisters. Make it go from a beautiful movie to a disturbing movie. And above all else, make it a damn good movie. One that could win awards from "serious film critics." Bonus points if you make Ebert change his mind about games and art.

But do not, I repeat, DO NOT make a movie that is just the plot of the game. That is a recipe for disaster. Say what you will about the Tomb Raider movies, but they got the basic formula for video-game based movies that don't blow completely. The key is to take an established character and/or franchise and have the movie be based around what would be reasonable for that character/franchise. This is why I think the prequel would work well.

]]> <![CDATA[Studios Falling Over Themselves For BioShock Movie]]> This could be a great movie if they stick to the story presented in the game. The biggest reason why video game movies fail is because they don't follow the original storyline.
Why was mario brothers a sci-fi comedy about dinosaurs that look like people?
Why did Doom feature mutant alien things with down syndrom rather than demons from hell?
House of the dead could have stuck with the whole government agency thing that it hinted at at the end.
Bloodrayne could have stuck with a World War II storyline.
Resident Evil also had an established story (and backstory) to work with.
