The Bioshock Movie is Sunk, but a Fan-Created Movie Trailer is a Good Tribute

Most movie trailers are considered successful by the box office receipts they generate. Professional film editors utilize these 30 seconds to 2 minutes to tell the story by combing through hours of produced footage to make the most appealing movie trailers.

There are many great movie trailers out there, from both professionals and amateurs. One film, Bioshock, has been stuck in preproduction, and according to producer, Gore Verbinski on Comingsoon.net, the film is not likely to be made since it has themes that would give it an R rating.

Fortunately, a fan of the Bioshock video game with a creative editing background created a fake trailer for Bioshock a few years ago, once it was announced that the film rights had been sold and that preproduction was starting. Youtube user, marquisDesign, created a 3 minute fake Bioshock trailer using superb editing skills.

According to marquisDesign on Youtube, some of the films whose scenes appear in the fake trailer are: City of Lost Children, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Casshern, Dark City, Cast Away, James Cameron's Aliens of the Deep, An IMAX Film, iRobot, Silent Hill, and Artificial Intelligence.

The fake trailer uses scenes from feature films and the music from the video game itself. Anyone who has played the Bioshock game can follow the events in order on the fake trailer, which follows the main character's plane crash survival to his discovery of an underwater rundown 1960's art deco themed dystopia. The fake trailer also gives a sneak peek of mutated humans and a genetically altered being called a "Big Daddy."

Even though the Bioshock movie is stuck in development limbo, I still watch the fake trailer once in awhile and hope that a producer somewhere gets the film off the ground. There can never be enough underwater horror films out there!
