Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, speaking at the company’s investors conference call, has revealed that BioShock film will not be launched simultaneously with BioShock 2 but its expected to be released with the Third Version of the Game. Bioshock 2 is in the development stage at 2K Marin and is expected to be launched some where in the Fall of 2009.
BioShock for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows® was released in 2007 and received numerous Game of the Year honors from prestigious organizations including Associated Press, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Game Informer, Spike TV’s VGAs and Paste Magazine. It is slated to be released for Playstation 3 in fall this year. BioShock’s extension to the PLAYSTATION 3 system will bring exciting new content to this amazing title and reach many new players, while giving the title the opportunity to once again be named Game of the Year.
BioShock is a narrative-driven action experience that allows players to do the impossible as they journey through an amazing, immersive and terrifying world. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically mutated citizens, the player will come to grips with the mysterious and fascinating world of Rapture, a distinct Art Deco underwater utopia gone mad.
Bioshock the movie will have director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) heading the project and Aviator writer John Logan may write the screenplay. Take-Two executive chairman Strauss Zelnick, who was in charge of Fox in the ’90s, handled the deal for his company and says the project will actually get made ... unlike the Halo movie. In an interview Verbinski admitted that the movie will be rated “R” and says he’ll start pre-production when Logan’s script is finished and approved.
