Looks like fans of Irrational Games’ Bioshock will have to be content with watching the story play out exclusively on their TV screens. Ken Levine, the creative director of Irrational, has officially cancelled any plans for a movie adaptation. Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango) was originally attached to direct with big plans to make Bioshock a very hard R-rated movie. After several years with the movie in development, Verbinski eventually left and passed the mantel to Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later). The project halted when it was put into indefinite delay about two years ago, and a year later Fresnadillo confirmed he was no longer involved. Hit the jump to find out why the cancellation came about, and how it’s connected to the box office failure of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen.
