BioShock movie adaptation failed due to Guardians
The creators of the popular game BioShock abandoned plans to make a big-budget movie project based on it after the failure of the movie Keepers. The chief designer of the game, Kevin Levine, told about this in an interview with Eurogamer. “An agreement was signed with the movie company Universal. I guess Gore Verbinski originally wanted to make an R-rated movie with a sea of blood and naked girls. Well, maybe without naked girls. But the blood was definitely there. And then The Guardians came out and things didn't work out very well for them. That is why the studio has lost interest in the idea of creating a picture with an `` R '' rating. and with a budget of $ 200 million. They suggested reducing the budget to 80, and Gore did not want to rent for that kind of money ", - he said. According to Levine, then an attempt was made to hire another director, but the latter did not suit him. " In the company " 2K " (game producer - Movie News note) appreciate their footage. They told me, “If you want to close the project, close it.” Which I did, ”added Levine. The Topic of Article: BioShock movie adaptation failed due to Guardians. |
