'Bioshock' Film Developments

I remember when the trailer for the 2nd game, simply called Bioshock 2, debuted online. I forget which damn website it was I saw it on. But I loved the whole thing.


I don't really play video games anymore, at least new ones. Because, they have passed me up in technicality to play. I.E. they're too hard and complex now. Lol, I still whip out Sonic and Mario Kart. Every time I try to hang with my gamer buddies on shit like this, I get merked out real quick. It ain't no fun, son. But I'd buy a PS3 just for this one (and Batman: Arkham Asylum). I ended up looking the game up after the sick trailer.  I liked what I found. The first game is as follows via Wikipedia:
"Set in an alternate history 1960, the game places the player in the role of a plane crash survivor named Jack, who must explore the underwater city of Rapture, and survive attacks by the mutated beings and mechanical drones that populate it."

A Review: 69 Year's Old = You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks (But You Can Epically Fail Trying)

Five times out of ten, I'll start a post by listing off the names of a new or current film project. Usually meaning that just by the names and director/writer(s) alone, they can't miss (much). Which is why I'm about to do it again. But honestly, that only get's you so far. In almost more than half the cases, an All-star cast and crew doesn't always mean you're getting something as good one would first surmise.

Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from The Matrix series) Emily Blunt (Red Head Brit from Devil Wears Prada) Benicio del Toro and the great and powerful Anthony Hopkins. All lead by Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III). With a cast like that how can you loose?! Certainly 3/4's of them thought the new take on timeless character was extremely awesome?! And that the script was worth it? And even that Johnston would pull it together? Well, that was the intentions of the film in the beginning @ least...
