News has surfaced that Gore Verbinski, the man behind the massive successful Pirates of the Caribbean films, will not be heading up the fourth movie, and instead has expressed interest in directing a film adaption of the game BioShock.

Now, I haven’t played BioShock. I have no idea about the story or atmosphere of the game. Based on reputation, I hear it’s excellent, very foreboding, etc etc. What I’m more interested in is the fact that a major name director, who is behind a franchise which has produced buckets of money, is opting instead to head a video game movie. We have truly met a crazy time here, people. There used to be a time when video game movies were laughable adapations made on shoestring budgets producing mediocre results. We’re now at the point where we have video game movies produced with insane budgets which produce mediocre results!

Progress, people. Progress.
