Bad news: BioShock movie won't be 'Fool's Gold'
"You're always going to be worried that in that first meeting they're going to be, like, 'OK, it's Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey on a desert island hunting for pirate treasure,' but it's not going to go that way," he said. Apparently, KennyL thinks director Gore Verbinski and crew "will very much honor the dramatic and thematic elements of the game."
... So you're saying there's not even room for Alexis Dziena as a ditzy heiress who proves to herself that she has something more to offer besides a killer body and a 1,000-watt smile? Why are you even making this movie?

Well, I was never expecting it to be THAT bad, Kevin. And this picture will haunt me for many nights to come.

I wonder who does the Photoshopping there. Sometimes they have images that are epic wins...and then some that are...like the one in this story.
Saria the Cat @ Aug 7th 2008 5:57PM
I just figured whoever is writing the piece did the PSing...Hmm, I think the PS credit should be added at the end of the credits!
Saria the Cat @ Aug 7th 2008 6:08PM
Er, at the end of the articles...I'm really not thinking straight today.

I was thinking that was the scariest photoshop ever also. But I do love the drinking game they created! I might have to play that game more often on movie nights =D

yeah, it's not my best work. I almost always do the PSs in my posts, as do we all here.

You need to be drunk to even THINK about watching fools gold!
VaultICEE @ Aug 7th 2008 6:36PM
In that case, I think the Justin has been drinking...
Danny @ Aug 7th 2008 5:27PM
I'm not even sure if I want to see it anymore...

Gore Verbinski is a good director, more than capable. I have a good amount of faith in him doing it justice.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Aug 7th 2008 5:57PM
Did you see Pirates 2 and 3?
Saria the Cat @ Aug 7th 2008 6:05PM
I'm keeping my expectations at 0, lest I sob aloud in the middle of the theatre due to poor film making butchering the image of beauty that is Bioshock. It's always better to expect nothing from adaptations because then they will always be met or exceeded!
DigTheDoug @ Aug 7th 2008 11:21PM
"Did you see Pirates 2 and 3?"
No...maybe I should have kept my mouth shut huh? I was just basing that on his Ring remake, The Weatherman and Pirates 1.

lol wut?
Shagittarius @ Aug 7th 2008 5:47PM
Did I miss a huge meme somewhere?
Mr Khan @ Aug 7th 2008 6:28PM
That's exactly what i was wondering
Osman @ Aug 7th 2008 6:01PM
I'm Matthew McConaughey and.....I can't get my shirt off!
Levi @ Aug 7th 2008 6:57PM
Don't you mean keep your shirt on?
Osman @ Aug 7th 2008 7:36PM
@ Levi, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxkGgV-9R4s watch this and you'll understand what im talking about
David @ Aug 7th 2008 6:05PM
No Kate Hudson?
No deal.
Obie @ Aug 7th 2008 6:11PM
Gore Verbinski is hit or miss. He makes good films like "The Ring" and "Pirates 1", yet makes awful sequels to them. So I guess 50/50 is better than nothing.
At least he is not Uve Boll.

Why does that image make me think of the "so Cash" copypasta?
mezzanine @ Aug 7th 2008 6:33PM
No Fool's Gold Bioshock xover?
shit.
forestofdeath @ Aug 7th 2008 6:38PM
a lens flare would have MADE that picture for me.
Jon2309 @ Aug 7th 2008 6:46PM
I would make a "shit was so cash" copypasta, but I can't be arsed.
Imadogg @ Aug 7th 2008 7:17PM
that pic scares the hell outta me. well done.
Eli Gundry @ Aug 7th 2008 9:21PM
I got a handjob during that movie and I still say it sucks.
Shane @ Aug 7th 2008 9:26PM
Maybe I'm missing something here but what does Gore Verbinski have to do with Fool's Gold? I can understand the concern, though, from his mostly shitty movies *cough* pirates of the caribbean *cough*
j.howlett @ Aug 7th 2008 10:08PM
the trailer for fool's gold was playing the other day as i was looking through the ondemand menu and it reminded me of the drake's fortune demo.
John @ Aug 8th 2008 1:59AM
You know, I actually thought fool's gold was going to be good from the trailer I saw, I mean Sahara was aright.
I have never in my life seen so BORING an action movie.
At least the name was apprpriate, they fooled me.
