As long as Owe Boll doesn't get his mitts on the film it stands a chance.

A few things If jacks in it will they have him harvest the sisters or rescue and if they have him yousing plasmids it's probley going to look like crap for some of the plasmids good but bad they went over on the budget so it should have good animation when it needs it and props thell probley make a big daddy on the inside like they did the inside of the alien queen on aliens vs preadetor so I have lots of hopes and some doubts.

I have the feeling that a Bioshock movie is completely unnecessary. A non-interactive media form can't come close to replicating what Bioshock did; that game was so powerful BECAUSE it was interactive. It was your choice to rescue or harvest, use plasmids in inventive ways, and utilize different ammo types. Not to mention that the story (particularly the main plot twist) could only have the impact that it did because it was happening to you. Sure, the movie might match the artistic style and have cool plasmid graphics, but it'll come nowhere near the masterpiece that the game was.

It has to be oozing with atmosphere and story to compare with the games. The idea of hearing and seeing the opening scene on the big screen almost gives me goosebumps though. I really hope it is cradled with care and love.

I got the first game just because it was listed as a horror but then i played it and finished it and my breathe was taken away all in all i can not wait for a movie, better be as scary as the game and i wouldnt mind the movie following the storyline. Honestly, when playing the game who thought atlas would turn out to be fontaine? "Would you kindly head to Ryan's office and kill the son of a bitch? "

I heard that the movie is supposed to come out around the same time as Bioshock Infinite. I just hope it live up to everyones expectations.

My biggest concern about movie adaption.

I want new actors and actresses that we hasn't heard of, like Christoph Waltz who did an outstanding performance in Inglourious Basterds, him alone made the entire film wonderful to watch.

That'd make Bioshock more special rather than a cheap videogames adaption with big star, like the terrible Max Payne film whom I hasn't even seen let alone grace my eyes upon, you don't need to when you know it's rubbish, much like the remake of the Italian Jobs (which unfortuantely I have seen, but that was due to the peer pressure of Virgin Altantic who insist on having that showing in their flight).

Bioshock is the most unique games I've ever played on top of Half Life 2, I'd hate for it to be ruined by some hollywood flick with 'sexy' girl and well known star, lots of explosion and the like.

It will be difficult because, they have to make it for people who have and haven't played the game or else they are missing a huge market (thus low budget, less likely to be made)

Jack looks set to be in it, but they surely cannot just follow the Bioshock 1 game because we the game players will know the twist in the plot and those who haven't played the game will either hear about it from game players or may well work it out before the twist is revealed.

So it will be hard to base the game around this, and if they focus on Ryan building the city then all the discovery will be lost when jack gets to rapture (discovery that would still exist for game players watching the film i.e: seeing it on the big screen)

I'd assume Jack would save little sisters in the movie so I think it would be wise to input a new character who does the opposite (he can get strong, evil, and set up a show down with Jack)
This does run the risk of upsetting gamers as another person is installed into the story line.

As mentioned Plasmids..are going to be hard to get into the film without them looking cheesy .

I dont know, the idea of a Bioshock film excites me and I really do want to see one, it is going to be hard work however on all accounts

I would like them to use the movie medium to explore the underlying theams, keep it separate from the games enough that they flesh out more about what rapture was and how turned bad in more detail.

Thank for the update.

Best thing to do in this situation is to not get our hope up.

I would go see it!

I hope its done well. I would hate to go thinking its going to be as cool as the game but see it and be like what was that? you know. It doesn't need to be a copy and paste movie from the game but it should be as close as possible.

I agree! Please no Kristen Stewart or Megan Fox. Lets see some new faces who can act! Because Rapture is under water I hope we will not see any explosions of any kind...it just would not make sense.

    I want to see that movie. I don't care how badly it's done I WILL see that movie. I suspect it well be a good ending, if it plays through the Bioshock 1 timeline. Good endings are usually considered canon and are often what adaptations of the game use. And yes, pretty people don't exist in Rapture, so I really hope there won't be any in the movie.
