BioShock Movie Gets A New Director

By |

Last we’d heard, the BioShock movie had been put on hold while studio execs looked for a cheaper place to film, along with a new director. Looks like they’ve found the latter.

According to SlashFilm, Spaniard Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will replace Gore Verbinski in the director’s chair (though Verbinski will remain as a “producer”). Never heard of Fresnadillo? He’s the guy who directed 28 Weeks Later, and
nothing else you’ve ever heard of

Hrm.

Whether you liked his zombie sequel or not (brilliant opening aside, I hated it), replacing Verbinski with a relative unknown is certainly a step down for the production, which was – courtesy of the big-name director and big-time budget – at one time being hailed in this post-Peter-Jackson-Halo world as Hollywood’s first crack at really taking a game adaptation seriously.
