Gore Verbinski's BioShock Movie Would Have Somehow Included Both of the Game's Endings

Gore Verbinski, the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, had plans to adapt the popular video game BioShock into a film. However, the project was ultimately scrapped. Verbinski revealed that his version of the BioShock movie would have somehow included both of the game's endings, which were significantly different, in order to "mess with the audience's heads." The original BioShock game offered players a choice between two distinct endings, with vastly different implications and consequences. Verbinski's intention was to incorporate both of these endings into the film adaptation, creating a unique and thought-provoking experience for the audience. This approach would have allowed the movie to explore the game's themes of player choice, moral ambiguity, and the impact of individual decisions. The news of Verbinski's unique vision for the BioShock film adaptation has intrigued fans of the game, who are curious to see how such a concept would have been executed on the big screen. While the project was ultimately abandoned, the director's comments provide a glimpse into the creative possibilities that were explored for bringing the BioShock universe to life in a cinematic format.
