BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal
azuredrake writes "Gamasutra reports that Universal Pictures has just announced a completion of licensing negotiations to bring the game BioShock to the silver screen. For those unfamiliar with the property, it was the much-lauded Game of the Year contender, praised for its storyline which emerged through gameplay, not just cutscenes. The director for the project is to be Gore Verbinski, who proved himself on the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, and the current writer for the screenplay is John Logan, who is recently known for the also-creepy Sweeny Todd."
It wasn't just pirates that had a pain in the ass with the copy protection. Anyone who had to reformat their drive more than three times couldn't use what they paid for. I couldn't even borrow it from my friend to try it out. That's why I pirated it.

IMDB lists him as the director for all three.
No, though I think that PotC1-3 are overrated, and PotC2 and PotC3 are utter crap.
...
What I meant was, that I haven't seen any decent movie which was based on a game, no matter who directed it.
May I remind you of:
* Tomb Raider, directed by Simon West,
* Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, directed by Jan De Bont,
* Mario Bros, directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel
* Street Fighter, directed by Steven E. de Souza,
* Wing Commander, directed by Chris Roberts,
* Final Fantasy, directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi
* Double Dragon, directed by James Yukich,
* Resident Evil, directed by Paul Anderson
* Resident Evil: Apocalypse, directed by Alexander Witt
* Resident Evil: Extinction, directed by Russell Mulcahy

No Uwe Boll involved in any of them, still all of them beyond shitty.
Doom... a... faithful adaptation? huh? Thou be smokin' something wilst seeing this movie, and I want some.
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...
Well of course the game gets it "wrong." If this crackpot Utopia had actually worked there is no story.
