BioShock

While it would have kicked a copious amount of ass to have Gore Verbinski at the helm of the live action adaptation of the Take Two video game BioShock, it just wasn't in the cards. That's okay, though, because Universal's next choice is a winner and a half.

If any director working today seemed capable of tackling the film adaptation of video game BioShock, it was Gore Verbinski. Who better to bring the underwater city of Rapture to the big screen? Well, unfortunately Universal Pictures has stopped his efforts due to the rapidly rising budget, which has reportedly reached the $160 million level.

That's right, kids. Director Gore Verbinski has forsaken pirates, opting instead to explore the world of Big Daddies. Um ... that could quite possibly be the most unintentionally homo-erotic lead-in I've ever written.

If being the spiritual successor to what many still call the scariest game ever made wasn’t enough, Bioshock had to take home a lot of "Best of E3" awards on top of it.
