AVAST! asking about the BioShock movie. it be dead, it be all Ken Levine's fault, 'n this be how it went down: Pirates a the Caribbean's Gore Verbinski announced he be directing a BioShock movie in 2008, 'n said he wanted t' make it a hard-R-rated film with "a lot a blood," Irrational Games creative director Ken Levine said during a BAFTA talk, reported by Eurogamer.

'n then Watchmen came out 'n bombed by Hollywood standards, 'n the BioShock studio got cold feet. Verbinski originally wanted $200 million, but executives would commit t' just $80 million, "'n Gore didn't want t' make a $80 million film," Levine said. Verbinski brought in a new director, 28 Weeks Later's Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, but by March he be also out, 'n Levine had pulled the plug.

"They brought another director in, 'n I didn't really see the match there - 'n 2K's one a these companies that puts a lot a creative trust in people," Levine said. "So they said if ye want t' kill it, kill it. 'n I killed it."

A BioShock movie could pillage off the ground someday, maybe, Levine said. "It may happen one day, who knows, but it'd have t' be the right combination a people." After all this public, back-'n-forth teasing, we'd like t' ask Levine if he'd kindly make a high-profile BioShock movie happen for real.
