this week, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is in theaters, and this is the first film from the director Verbsinski mountains for almost a decade. Before this, however, he will direct a film adaptation of Irrational Games and 2K’s BioShock series, which endured development hell for years before its demise.

Recently Reddit AMAVerbinski shed some light on what he could do with the film when Universal developed it. He and then-writer John Logan planned to canonize the first game with two endings, the choices the players had made up to that point—or were they really the choices, hm?—and their consequences. They also plan to “dive deep into the Oedipal aspect” with the Little Sisters that players either save or kill throughout the game.

“I’m excited to bring that to the big screen and fuck people’s heads,” said Verbinski, who added that he “definitely keeps it hard R.” He also teased the Big Daddies and the underwater city of Rapture with “great designs (and a) whole demented underwater art-deco aesthetic.” That’s all probably music to the ears of anyone who saw and loved his 2017 film A Medicine for Wellbeing because of its ambition and visuals, or like his other movies, which probably hurt it not happening at a time when audiences were ready (motivatedeven) to see the directors take creative swings in the panic space.

Netflix now make a BioShock movie which Verbinski has nothing to do with, but apparently he hears about it all the time. Whatever he’s heard, he doesn’t think the non-Universal studios “(are) willing to go where I’m going.”
