Prvi čovek Irrational Games-a i glavni autoritet po pitanju Bioshock-a (osim Bioshock dvojke) Ken Levine je izneo detalje u vezi planiranog Bioshock filma. Šta se zapravo dogodilo, šta je planirano i zašto je na kraju ceo projekat otkazan. Evo njegovog odjašnjenja:
There was a deal in place, and it was in production at Universal – Gore Verbinski was directing it. My theory is that Gore wanted to make a hard R film – which is like a 17/18 plus, where you can have blood and naked girls. Well, I don’t think he wanted naked girls. But he wanted a lot of blood.
Then Watchmen came out, and it didn’t do well for whatever reason. The studio then got cold feet about making an R rated $200 million film, and they said what if it was a $80 million film – and Gore didn’t want to make a $80 million film.
They brought another director in, and I didn’t really see the match there – and 2K’s one of these companies that puts a lot of creative trust in people. So they said if you want to kill it, kill it. And I killed it.
