Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the director of the well-liked sequel 28 Weeks Later, is in talks to replace Gore Verbinski as the director of the video-game adaptation Bioshock.
Verbinski had to drop out because other commitments prevented him for taking on the film’s planned overseas shoot, according to Variety. The deal with Fresnadillo, the stylish Spanish director, is contingent on approval from the game’s distributor.
Danny Boyle, director of 28 Days Later, reportedly “handpicked” Fresnadillo as 28 Weeks’ director when he decided not to return to the franchise in 2007.

Wow, this is amazing. A lot of video games coming soon to the cinema, just a month ago Blizzard announced that the making of world of warcraft the movie is now official and now Bioshock. Now the success of the movie will depend to the director, but they should take into consideration that directing video games is that easy especially if you don't have knowledge playing it, so it's better for them to try the game first before filming it.
