I am not so sure about how I feel about this. Gladiator is possibly one of the most insipid movies that I have ever seen (and it's the script that pisses me off).
And Gore Verbinski hasn't really won me over... Pirates I was boring... Pirates II was actually pretty damn good... Pirates III totally sucked. Haven't seen Weatherman (which looked fucking awful), or The Mexican (which I heard was pretty disappointing)... But the American version of The Ring is absolute tripe.
...
BUT EVEN SO... I would forgive Gore Verbinski (he has his moments)... But John Logan?! He writes crappy scripts for larger-than-life SENSATIONAL EPICS (Last Samuri included!).
Usually I ignore these kinds of threads if I'm unimpressed with the proposed production company, but I love Bioshock so much that I'd hate for it to be ruined on the big screen. I do NOT want a retarded wide-eyed epic film to ruin this dark undersea dystopia. :mad: Then again, it wouldn't be the first time.
Now I'm trying to think, if I could pick a writer and director for Bioshock... Who would they be...?
