Its very unlikely they could get a Bioshock film into production for release in 2011, and most likely you would not want to see a project like this taken on right now given the merger uncertainties. With so much of the slate tied up in 2012 with the Hasbro properties, its very unlikely you would see a Bioshock film until spring of 2013 at the earliest, and depending on the budget/rating/other variables, it would seem more likely to be penciled in for a mid/late July date.

In short, I don't think its a dead project, but don't hold your breath.
Believe it or not. They're making a "Family Circus" movie. So if there going to make a movie based on one of the world unfunniest cartoons. I'll believe you that they're making a Stretch Armstrong movie.

And yes, we understand Universal isn't a perfect place and will most likely always have complications. But if you read of any of my info in the "Current Info" section. You would have seen I already have written the expected release date of 2013.

Fortunately, I am very optimistic about this movie. Whether everyone thinks there is only a 1% of it coming out or not. I will hold on to that 1% as hard as I can until it reaches 0. Then still, Im gonna hope for a Bioshock movie in the later future!



Also, dont forget to check out the New "Recommended for you." section and feel free to add some of your own movie thoughts there! [Yes, kind of a shameless advertisement]
