5 Things I Hope They Keep In Mind For The Bioshock Movie

My Dream Director for a Bioshock film would be Guillermo Del Toro. Watch the beginning scene of Shape of Water and tell me it doesn't look like Rapture.

I want a TV series based around the Rapture novel and Bill Mcdonagh

The hardest part will probably trying to get the bouncer big Daddy actor to be able to see in the suit

Quoting Bioshock lines without context, I really felt that.

Yes, it NEEDS to be rated R, it NEEDS to be violent and gory as it is a part of what makes the games what they are

Main problem with adapting this game: people familiar with it already know the two big twists. This isn't insurmountable. Captain America: The Winter Soldier remains Marvel's best solo film despite most comic fans knowing the twist, because the film added new twists. A Bioshock film would need to do the same. But I can't imagine what that new twist would be.

I'm still really blown away by there being actually fans of Bioshock still out there. I adore these games immensely and BRAVO to any soul out there who actually knows a hair about the perfect DLC Gem called Minerva's Den. The points here are so on the mark, I don't you could have made a better list. Rapture remains that perfect game environment where you can all a decaying city, old timey music, ghosts, some bits of haunted beauty and it all just works. As you said yourself, anyone out there would KILL to have all of this already when they start crafting up a film. Whether anything happens with Bioshock is always that, "time will tell," mentality. But credit to you making such a genuinely perfect video to note the good/bad/notable when it comes to making a film that can work and hit the ground. Also, thank you endlessly on mentioning about needing to focus on the movie itself and not the 1000x projects that "could" come despite the movie being still made. shudders in thought about the Universal Studios Monster Universe PS - The videos seriously needs a ton more praise. From an old Bioshock fan, keep on keeping being the one that chooses the impossible. Electro-Bolt high fives

I’m curious with blade runner 2049 being a prequel if the writer for Bioshock will take a similar approach. Where it’s a lead up to Bioshock one

Too bad Vincent price can't play Andrew Ryan . Rip great legend

"Singing rust buckets" took me out lmfao- i loved that

I hated the dystopian genre until I played Bioshock. For me, it got everything right. What I loved the most about it was that it was fair to the subject it was criticizing. You hear Ryan's opening monologed and immediately you can see the dream behind the dystopia. Any pieces of work that gets to understand the tyrannical business millionaire is doing something extraordinary.

This is exactly perfect, I hope they see this.

outstanding video, i would love to see more work from you with this editing and script format

Super video man. Funny. Great points. Doesn’t drag and waffle. Bioshock. Keep up the good work, I don’t know how this doesn’t have more views

That Bioshock shirt looks so cool! Also I agree about your view on Bioshock Infinite.

i loved this so much. good video, keep it up.

They'll fuck it up. Netflix fucks EVERYTHING up; they focus on all the wrong things. The sets will look perfect, background will be filled with visually accurate details and easter eggs to say "LOOK WE'RE SOOO FAITHFUL" while the plot is mangled, lore completely changed, and characters woefully miscast or drastically and unrecognizeably changed. And the pacing will be absolutely godawful. Netflix shows are not designed to be GOOD, they're designed to keep you binge watching. They have no concept of pacing or narrative flow, they just feel like all of the narrative peaks and valleys got put into a blender, made into a homogeneous goo, squeezed out of a tube, and chopped into evenly timed chunks. You can't even call them "episodes".

I feel like if this is will happen, the costume team for the movie should take inspiration from ww1 face surgeries, like what they did for the first game

Really cool video, agree with all of your points. I was obsessed with the franchise as it came out and was never able to play it as a kid. Then about 5 years ago I managed to play all of the games. I especially enjoyed the part where you highlight the possibilities that come with this movie, the atmosphere is so rich and full, it literally screams for professional make up, costumes, right lightning choices and especially scoring. Really looking forward to it, hope they don't mess it up.

I personally think that JT music should do some of the soundtrack considering he made songs for both bioshock 1+2 and bioshock Infinet! Like how TeamHeadKick had the deadpool song for the DP movie!
