Film it in slough, I'm pretty sure they won't actually need to build any sets.

Film it in Rapture, you'll save loads on sets. And actors, in fact, as long as you horde the ADAM to keep the splicers compliant.

Not sure how a film would work though.

Bet it ends up in that pumping house place, favoured of Red Dwarf and Gamesmaster.

"In the meantime, the film is in a holding pattern"

/pedantry on

A holding pattern is what you have when a group of several things is being placed in a formation suitable for awaiting orders which may result in further changes to formation (a group of cavalry horsemen for example). A single thing can't be in any kind of pattern, except one.

/pedantry... in holding pattern

Film it at Granada Studios! Go on, you know you want to. I can wander over and bother the cast. Or do free re-writes on set.

If they make this into a fucked up 18-rated kind of underwater Blade Runner/Dark City kind of thing then it could be something staggeringly brilliant.

No doubt it will be focus-grouped to fucking death and turn out like Doom however.

They could shoot it in Romania. Flood season should come soon, they'll have a nature made city of Rapture.

Actionfitz, your wish has been granted. Please send the kidney to Universal's Preston branch and report for filming immediately.

"he turned down the opportunity to direct a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film "

Well, that's three pieces of good news. One less sh*tty games movie, Bioshock doesn't get ruined by someone who could teach Ewe Boll a thing or two about making tosh, and perhaps someone with a squif of talent can take Jack Sparrow and put him in a decent movie.

Champers all round.

kanga - I think Ellie means "turnaround". Or, more fittingly, "development hell". Which is somewhere I personally hope Gorey Verby ends up some day, forced to explain the plot or PotC 3 and what the hell it had to so with pirates and the carriibean for all eternity.

I believe a single plane at even an empty airport can be put in a "holding pattern". For instance, if they are awaiting permission to land. The pattern in this case could perhaps refer to the orbital path the plane takes while awaiting instructions.

I think, at least.

Oh, what injustice!

BioShock has such a cutting edge story and a tremendous level of depth that I simply cannot bare to not see it on the big screen anytime soon!

Give me a fucking break, who really gives a shit?
