Variety is reporting that the upcoming BioShock movie directed by Gore Verbinski [Pirates of the Carribean movies] is being held in pre-production due to budget concerns.  

The film based on the best selling videogame for the PC, 360 and PS3 was set to shoot in Los Angeles at an estimated budget of $160 million.  With rising costs, Universal and Verbinski are looking to move production voerseas to save some money.  One city in the running is London.  

Both parties stress that "Bioshock will not become another Halo" and be cancelled entirely over budget problems. 

My take: Let's cancel the movie entirely.   I have had a while to think about the idea of tunring this game into a film and IMHO, I do not want to see some overbudgeted take on a game that would probobly be very difficult to translate onto film.   It will never satiate the fans of the series.   In addition, the best moment of the game [you know I am talking about], the choices you have to make with the Little Sisters,  and the suprising twist would be extremely difficult to translate onto a film.   I do not want another DOOM.   [Shudders]
