We Have a Winner?

Variety reports that Universal Studios has inked a deal with Take-Two to produce a film version of BioShock.

I know, video game movies are nothing to get excited about...but with director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) and writer John Logan (Gladiator, Star Trek: Nemesis, The Time Machine, The Last Samurai, The Aviator) behind it, could this be the first game movie that doesn't suck? Verbinski sort of lost me after the first Pirates film, but everything I've seen that's penned by John Logan has stood out for being really well-written.

At least someone finally recognized that good video games deserve the dignity of not being adapted by Uwe Boll.
