Ken Levine "killed" BioShock film
Universal had director Gore Verbinski attached to produce an adaptation of BioShock for the cinema going public. It may have been an R-rated $200m blockbuster that blew our minds, but then Watchmen happened.
Universal "got cold feet" about such a budget for a film and so wanted it around $80 million. Verbinski wanted his original vision, and so directorship changed and Ken Levine "killed it."

Irrational Games head Ken Levine has revealed that BioShock Infinite will contain far more dialog than the first BioShock. How much more? One level of Infinite has three times more than the original game had in its entirety.
The geometric increase in dialog is due to Levin's decision to have Booker and Elizabeth interact with each other and their world.

BioShock creator Ken Levine of Irrational Games feels "almost everything" he's worked on is a "descendent of that feeling" he had playing Ultima Underworld where it felt "like a real place."
His games are "really struggling to create a sense of place" for us to get connected with, he says. Levine has "no patience" with game designers who lecture others how they should make worlds.
