Those who know the video game or have ever played it, know that a film adaptation of Bioshock needs a big budget, and several months of artistic dedication. These seem to be the causes that led to the departure of Gore Verbinski, and subsequent hiring of Juan Carlos Fresnadillo as the new project manager.
A few months ago, Verbinski said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, that he "Today's biggest problem is money and filming times » and that it was difficult to travel to Australia to film for a whole year.
After those statements, Universal Pictures decided to find a filmmaker who is willing to dedicate himself fully to the project, and it seems they found the solution: the Spanish Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.
While the man does not have a great record in Hollywood cinema, Fresnadillo did a tremendous job on the zombie film 28 Weeks Later, which cost $ 8 million and grossed more than $ 80 worldwide.. And without neglecting the result final. We'll see how you do with the challenge of adapting Bioshock.
