Pirates-regissören Gore Verbinski är bioaktuell i helgen med thrillern A Cure For Wellness och i samband med den obligatoriska PR-turnén för att marknadsföra filmen har frågor rörande den nedlagda Bioshock-rullen dykt upp. Tydligen lades den ned av Universal eftersom de var skraja för att produktionen skulle bli för dyr och för att 15-årsgränsen skulle göra det svårt för dem att få tillbaka sin investerade miljarder.
"Well it's no short answer to that question but we were eight weeks prior shooting when the plug was pulled. It's an R rated movie. I wanted to keep it R rated, I felt like that would be appropriate, and it's an expensive movie. It's a massive world we're creating and it's not a world we can simply go to locations to shoot. A Cure For Wellness, we were able to really utilize a variety of location to create the world. Bioshock it wouldn't work like that, we'd be building an entire underworld universe. So I think the combination of the price tag and the rating, universal just didn't feel comfortable ultimately. At that time also there were some R rated, expensive R rated movies that were not working.
So I think things have changed and maybe there will be another chance, but it's very difficult when you're eight weeks away from shooting a movie you really can see in your head and you've almost filmed the entire thing, so emotionally you're right at that transition from architect to becoming a contractor and that will be a difficult place to get back to."
