Could 'BioShock' Be Coming From Guillermo Del Toro!?

Guillermo Del Toro is turning into one of Hollywood’s most go-to guys right now. He has been asked to direct ‘Halo,’ which fell through, he’s not officially signed on to direct ‘The Hobbit’ but chances are he will. Now, Del Toro might be looking to direct an adaptation of the video game ‘BioShock’ if the film is presented the right way…

“I love BIOSHOCK from a design point of view,” says del Toro. “But Unless its a HELLBOY sequel I am not that eager to engage in another action-oriented movie. Even if the other elements are right. BUT… if I found the right pitch on the material, who knows – the BIOSHOCK universe is indeed wonderful.”

Del Toro is a wonderful director and so far I have loved every movie he’s directed (that I have seen) and I would love to see more coming from him. He has a very gifted mind when it comes to cinematics and making something on film look stunning. I hope someone is able to make a ‘BioShock’ script that is not a run-and-gun-em type of movie.
