Prison Break Star Teases Big ‘Bioshock’ News!
Back in April the gut-wrenching news hit the wire that Gore Verbinski’s Bioshock – the adaptation of the kickass video game – has hit some troubled waters as the budget was way out of control. Universal promised to get things on track and swore we wouldn’t have another Halo on our hands. Late last night “Prison Break” star Wentworth Miller updated his Twitter page with this shocking tweet, “Prison Break may be ending, but I’ve got things in the works. Hint…one word: Bioshock.” Is the city of Rapture having a grand re-opening? Is there enough Eve to get this project rolling? Let’s hope this rumor turns into something more tangible.
“Bioshock” takes place in an underwater city based on the free market principles of Ayn Rand, but things have gone disastrously wrong. Players control a pilot who crash-lands at a secret entrance to the city, called Rapture, and is drawn into a power struggle during which he discovers that his will is not as free as he’d thought.

Post Malone Teams With Platinum Dunes & Vault Comics to Create ‘Fury Road’ Meets ‘Evil Dead’ Movie
Here’s an interesting one for you today. “Post Malone, Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist,” Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon.
What exactly does this mean? Well, the plan is for Vault Comics to launch this original genre story as a graphic novel in 2025, with Platinum Dunes developing the film adaptation.
The comic book/movie doesn’t yet have a title, but here’s what we know so far…
The official press release details today, “Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, the story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”
“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone said in a statement.
“This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up. We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”
“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” says Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
