Well if the industry spouting gloom and doom over the Assassin\u2019s Creed movie never seeing the light of day, then you can possible add BioShock to the list of game-movies you\u2019ll likely not be seeing any time soon.<\/p>\n

Responding to IndustryGamer\u2019s question posed around the planned film, BioShock creator Ken Levine said they\u2019ve somewhat lost the push to get the film made.<\/p>\n

“We got very close to having it get made \u2013 we had a deal in place and a director. But for us there’s no burning [desire] to have a movie made just to get it made.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to highlight the plight of all game-movies – in that the film would have to appeal to fans as well as complete newcomers alike \u2013 and how, unless they could achieve that level of consistency, there\u2019s simply no need to get a film made.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say that the project has been canned; it seems like it\u2019s just sitting in limbo, with no real energy behind its production at the moment.<\/p>\n

Not that it really matters \u2013 after all, games are our first love, and with BioShock Infinite heading our way next year, I think Mr. Levine\u2019s priorities are in the right place.<\/p>\n
