It should come as no surprise that our favorite film around Joystiq HQ is Matthew McConaughey starrer Fool's Gold. We even have an adorable little Fool's Gold drinking game where ... well, we get really drunk and watch Fool's Gold. It's precious. Now, Ken Levine tells videogaming247 that, despite what we all assumed, the BioShock movie will be little to nothing like 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 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!

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.

Gore Verbinski is a good director, more than capable. I have a good amount of faith in him doing it justice.

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!

"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.

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*
