I just started playing through Bioshock again (got it at Target for $3.75 on clearance) and thought this might actually make a great movie. If it's in the right hands.
I was thinking maybe Zack Snyder would do a good job. He's stayed loyal to many of his other adaptions, such as Watchmen or 300. Maybe a 3-Hour Bioshock movie would actually turn out well in his hands.
Or Tarantino, because he kicks all kinds of ass. He would be great for this kind of thing.
Raimi actually, I say this because when you get down to it Bioshock is a very campy/pulpy premise, and he does that kind of thing well. He's good at taking the over the top and absurd, like "Hercules", "Xena", and "Spider-Man" (I mean face it, he's a super hero) and managing to keep it that way while managing to put some depth behind it.
Due to the budget and the style, perhaps mentioning his duo of pseudo-grecian performances aren't the best examples, but the point is that if you look at his style and body of work I think he'd be good for an over-the-top underwater city full of mutants who shoot various kinds of energy, with monologue delivering societal philsophers rambling in the backround throughout about the perfect society and how it goes wrong.
Face it, the guy does Zombies and Mutants and bashing them down well, and while the Splicers are a bit brighter than the average Zombie or "kill mutant" they are still pretty dull, and we already know he can handle that kind of material, and we know he can handle over the top heroes and villains.
