It was pre­vi­ously rumored that Verbin­ski would be helm­ing the project, but here is the big news we’ve been wait­ing for — he has given up his direct­ing chair on Pirates of the Caribbean 4 to take on the BioShock project — Gore Verbin­ski shall be helm­ing the video game adap­ta­tion. Verbin­ski directed all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies as well as the US Ring remake.

A year since the announce­ment that a movie would be made it looks like the ball might soon be rolling into the realms of pre-production.
