I've always felt that, if you're going to attempt a Bioshock movie, the least interesting thing you can do, is have Jack be the protagonist. The idea of an outsider coming across this city and having to fight his way through is perfect for a video game, but too much of the visceral thrill is lost in the translation to a movie. The story that for me is most intriguing in a movie context is the rise and fall of the city of Rapture. These great minds, the best of their generation, seeing their bold but ultimately misguided utopian dream turn into this hellscape. If you have Andrew Ryan (the quintessential mid 20th Century self-made American) as your protagonist, then you have this would be an interesting chance to make a modern day Citizen Kane type story, through the prism of a sci-fi/horror genre movie.

This feels like how the first silent hill movie has been adapted. Faithful towards the beginning but not so much towards the end. Also they HAD ONE JOB WITH THE TWIST! It could’ve been at the end of the screenplay and Ryan leads Jack to the house with everything about his childhood and he learns it’s all a lie

Well those are some...unique changes to the story. Not good but unique. Honestly any changing of mediums would require some changes but these feel very lazy. The only one I really can get behind is having Atlas be there fighting side by side with Jack rather then talk with him over the radio. Makes the character more involved and would make the betrayal hit harder. As for the back story of Rapture, rather then have characters do lots of exposition dumps I would keep the audio recordings but every time one plays it would trigger a flashback to the event. This would let us see the rise and fall of Rapture first hand rather then just hearing about it. Some scenes form the Bioshock: Rapture book could even be used.

Felt like the pacing in this is what really dropped the ball for me. Having Cohen randomly appear at the beginning, skipping over Eve and waiting until nearly half the script to get to Big Daddies/Little Sisters. Compared to the near perfected pacing of the bioshock intro, this is just like pulling teeth trying to watch it find its way to the point

I audibly said "what the fuck?!" multiple times throughout this reading. Some of this was incredibly dark, and I'm not too sure if it's really in good taste. Flower's death and that ending was just messed up, man.

The power of video games as narrative is you can give more weight to actions of characters rather than leaning on dialogue. This script was mostly "Hey remeber that bit? Now let's go to the next bit, don't you want to see the things you know? WHY ARNT YOU CLAPPING!?"

I want the movie to follow Andrew Ryan’s perspective and the cities downfall

Wow im so glad this wasn't made. I feel it misses the whole point of BioShock and just tries to be dark and shocking.

Found your channel via captain eggcellent and I cannot be more thankful, as a massive bioshock fan your coverage and more of the bioshock content is awesome well done🎉🎉🎉

Your channel is going to do real good when the movie and new game drop, Erik. Nicely done boyo.

If Orson Welles was alive, I think he would've been a perfect Andrew Ryan.

Well the movie’s script was… Interesting.

Sooo... This is the original Bioshock movie script? This is what we've been waiting for all these years? Not gonna lie... I'm thoroughly disappointed. All these years of mystery, of wondering what the forbidden script was like... For this? Not only it ruins the plot twists of the game, the one thing everyone remembers bioshock for, but it also undermines the games themes about freedom and choice as you said in the video.... I sincerely hope that the new bioshock movie by Netflix won't be anything like this.

if i had to write a script for a bioshock movie, and had to have jack story id just stick closer to the original story. now if i had creative control for writing a script for the (first) bioshock movie id fallow the book and write about the rise and eventual fall of rapture. leaving the ending open ended with a scene of young jack being sent to the surface

If only Coen brothers would get behind script, dialogs, and direcing. That would be an equal match for original material.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Its so awesome we finally get to see the original movie script

Hope you’re doing good man. Haven’t seen any uploads in awhile

There is some more gameplay of judas. I’d love to see a video on it!
