Another big thing they will need to focus on is getting the right actors for the parts. I happen to love the idea of this movie and I can see such stars as Tom Hanks playing an excelent Andrew Ryan however I feel if they are not extremely picky with this cast that it will bomb. That might be another reason why studios are shying away.

I am a hardcore Doom player and i almost jizzed my pants when I saw that they were making a movie, but they totally destroyed the plot and the only thing that they included from the game was the BFG, a small 1st person experience, and the imp from Doom 3. The movie bombed and lovers of Doom everywhere were emberassed that their beloved franchise was butchered. I love Bioshock and if they make it PG-13 or destroy the plot, it will definitely be a waste of $160 mil.

The movie has to be gory, and i doubt they are gonna cut too much back on the violence, seeing how Ken Levine is being credited as a writer. Assuming this will be, the movie can never make as much as a normal rated action-movie, so of course the studios are careful with the cash.

I, for one, think it’s equally important to get the set designs right for this movie, and the lighting too.

Enough to potentially draw in people who haven’t played the game. Also I don’t think studios really know how to market a video game movie as anything other than a action oriented “blockbuster.” Given the action oriented nature of most games.
