DISQUS

"28 Weeks Later" was a genre movie with some serious smarts (the mother/kids dynamic was interesting, for one). "BioShock" is a game with some serious smarts. Seems like a good match.

Should be great. He did a first rate job on "28 Weeks Later." He definitely knows how to direct actors and has a great sense of pace and how to craft effective scares. I'm looking forward to seeing more of his work.

having a sense of pace and knowing how to direct actors is one thing.......

but this *may* still fail

remember silent hill? those that actually played the game will know why the movie failed so bad.
the costumes were identical, brilliant, the actual in game music was used too, fantastic! and some of the cgi was great....

what people LOVED about the game was the sense of dread and the *atmosphere*, this was non existant in the movie, the director simply didnt understand it, didnt *get* what it was that made the game admired, this was why the film was so anticipated, but it failed

dont even get me started on the crap story with little elements from the original story cherry picked here and there

(and studios wonder why people spend more on gaming than going to the cinema...)

Bioshock has a real opportunity to be a huge film, great story, great look, great atmosphere,
if this film is to win, it really needs the people involved in the game to be involved in the film too
