Acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro confirmed that he was involved in early concepts for a BioShock movie, but said the project was ultimately scrapped after a \u201cdisastrous\u201d phone call.<\/p>\n

Speaking with IGN as part of the IGN30 Icons Series, del Toro admitted that he \u201cnever\u201d wants to make a video game again \u2014 and while he was previously open to adapting existing games into films, his last attempts at doing so ended in disaster.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been long-rumored that del Toro was involved in a movie adaptation<\/u><\/a> of Bioshock that never got off the ground. Back in 2017, he even admitted that he\u2019d love to see<\/u><\/a> the game\u2019s story brought to the silver screen after a previous attempt, with Gore Verbinski attached, never got made.<\/p>\n
