    Well if you think about it, it might be hard to adapt a video game about a dude going into a reclusive city under the ocean where the rich and powerful harvest little girls to make drugs which gives them superpowers.

    Unless I’m remembering that part wrong?

    At one point gore verbinski was trying to get an adaptation of bioshock off the ground as well. He couldn’t get the financing unless agreed to make it pg-13, but he was only interested in making a hard r-rated version.

        What? Shrek is a PG movie for children… They wanted a PG-13 rating target. It’s the equivalent of T for teens in video games.

    I’m not sure the ending twist would sit well with movie audiences. I’m still not sure how I feel about :::spoiler the fact that you play as a three-year-old accelerated aged clone of Andrew Ryan spoiler:::
