The famed Pirates of the Caribbean film director, Gore Verbinski, is going to direct the film adaptation of the 2K hit, BioShock. Variety broke the news, and they also confirmed that John Logan is in talks now to write the screenplay. For those that aren’t familiar with John Logan, he has writing credits on quite a few notable films, including Gladiator, The Last Samurai, The Aviator, and Sweeney Todd.

BioShock was my runner-up for game of the year last year, and I feel it’s one of the finest games available for the Xbox 360. I know most game movies are terrible, but given the setting and style of BioShock, I think they might be able to pull off something spectacular. I just really hope they don’t play with the story or themes too much, because the game is a true masterpiece from both visual and storytelling standpoints. If you own a 360 and still haven’t played BioShock…I hate your face.
