Gore Verbinski, of Pirates of the Caribbean infamy, has signed on to direct the movie version of popular video game Bioshock. The game is set in an underwater city and was one of the best reviewed games of last , year. John 'Gladiator' Logan will write the screenplay.Video games have not made the best film adaptations in the past (Super Mario Brothers anyone?) but as the storyline of such games becomes more complex and cinematic, the crossovers start to make more sense. Unfortunately the long hoped for Hungry Horace movie is still trapped in development hell.
