Gore Doesn't Have A Clue About Another Pirates Film...

Gore Verbinski is one director in demand...

He's attached to four or five different projects. None of which are ready to go and unfortunately, one of them is NOT Pirates of the Caribbean 4. I hope Disney does try and make it so that he can do the sequel. I think since he was the one in charge of the first trilogy, he should be in charge of the second. Ooops, I mean film not trilogy.

Ehem...

But now comes word that Gore will direct a film version of "Clue" the classic board game(not the Disney version, btw). Not that the first film was such a huge blockbuster, but that doesn't stop a studio from trying. There are no writers attached to the project so it doesn't mean it's a go and could take as much time as the "Bioshock" project that he's been connected to for some time. Here's hoping Disney can come to an agreement between Bruckheimer and Depp and some very busy screenwriters. I'd like to see the Mouse get the Pirates filmed by Gore.

Verbinski, that is...

Shocked...

Well, it looks like Terry Rossio & Ted Elliott may be returning to the Disney fold to make the new "The Lone Ranger" movie for Walt Disney Pictures, but their colaborative director on the Pirates trilogy isn't. We've heard that Jerry Bruckheimer was wanting Gore Verbinski to team up with the writers and he for a new adventure in the Wild West.

Sadly, it was not to be...

The Trades are reporting that Gore Verbinski has signed on to direct Universal Pictures' big screen adaption of the video game "Bioshock". While I regret not having Gore come back for this film(several top notch directors will obviously now have a chance to fill the slot), I'm excited to see what he and screenwriter John Logan("Gladiator","The Aviator", "The Last Samurai" and "Sweeney Todd") have planned for this adaptation.

Having played the game, I can tell you it's a cool trip. Very smart, very visual and totally stylish beyond most games in its genre. It and a couple other titles have tempted me into almost getting a X-Box 360... almost. But the possibility of watching a talented director and equally talented writer teaming up for this could prove interesting.

Developing...
