Early last month Joystiq reported the rumor that an unnamed Hollywood studio was in talks with Take Two Interactive to secure the rights to a film based on the best selling 2007 title BioShock.While its been quiet since the rumor surfaced, an article on The Cult Scene, a gaming blog on Variety's website, claims that even more studios have shown an interest in creating a film based on the game. "You'd be hard pressed to find a production company, studio, or agency with at least one videogame savvy employee that isn't interested in Bioshock," blogger Ben Fritz says, "Take Two has been bombarded with requests from producers and studios interested in obtaining the rights [to the game]." While we love BioShock, we're not too keen on sending it to die on the silver screen with other games like Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros. and BloodRayne. Besides didn't they already made a Big Daddy flick?

I'm with you Xav, I'd rather not have a Bioshock movie, than have one made and have it most likely suck.

As long as Uwe Boll makes the film, it should be a hit, right? And if you don't think so, Uwe Boll will hit you in your face!

This makes me very sad to read. I really wanted a Bioshock movie.

The article title is a bit misleading. Considering that it has been reported on here before as a rumor that their is a Bioshock film being talked about, posting a follow up blurb with the title "Bioshock film is a no" suggests that the rumor has been squashed. All information contained in the post, including links, confirm the exact opposite.
Nice opinion piece, and I agree with it, however the title for it is a bit off. Quite a bit, actually.
