Fan-made trailer for BioShock movie is a terrible tease

November 30, 2011 By Rick Marshall

Fan-made trailer for BioShock movie goes the minimalist route and makes us even more eager to see the game adapted for the big screen.

We might as well come to terms with the fact that we’re probably not going to see a BioShock movie any time soon. Heck, even the game’s creator isn’t in a hurry to bring the undersea epic to the big screen.

That’s why a new, brief-but-impressive, fan-made trailer for a BioShock movie is such a frustrating tease: it hints at how cool a movie based on the hit game franchise could be.

While this trailer offers a more subtle peek at the possibilities of a BioShock movie, others have gone the full-fledged, cutscene route with some success, or taken a more active, DIY (though a little cheesy) approach to the project.

Sadly, it looks like these fan-made BioShock trailers are the best we’re going to get for now — and possibly ever — when it comes to the game.

jesterking at 8:46am 30th November 2011 I think it would be a horrible game to make a movie... I mean, really. I wouldn't be able to take it seriously... Some guy goes to an underwater city which is plagued by demon children, and giant creatures in deep sea diving suites. While he injects himself with some strange crap that he finds laying around which allows him to shoot lightening from his fingers! Some games are just better off not adapted to a movie. This is definitely one of them. They would just end up butchering it to the point where it no longer even resembles the game... Kinda like "Alone in the Dark". God that was just a horrible movie... Not Lovecraftian at all! Or even Doom for that matter...
1. agafaba at 10:17am 30th November 2011 It could work, but as long as it wasnt based on your character ingame (lightning fingertips and killing children for their blood stuff). Giant science experiments gone wrong humans in suits protecting clearly mentally deranged children who also were experimented on isnt too far fetched for a movie.That being said most movies based on a game are bad, so any real production has its work cut out for it.
