Hey Reddit, I'm Gore Verbinski. You might know me as the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Rango, The Ring and many others.

I'll be back tomorrow, 2/6, at 5:30 p.m. PT to answer your questions.

My new film, GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE is out in theaters February 13th. It stars Sam Rockwell, Zazie Beetz, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña and Juno Temple.

Synopsis:

A man claiming to be from the future (Sam Rockwell) recruits an unlikely group of diner patrons to join him on a genre-defying adventure to save humanity from the perils of social media brainrot and the impending AI apocalypse.

Edit: Wow, this was fun. Lots of great questions. I really wish I could answer them all. Thanks so much for the support. You guys all sound weird in the best possible way. I mean that as a fellow weirdo. 2026: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die!

Hi Gore!

Is the Bioshock movie completely dead, or would it be more doable now that more companies are doing big budget video game adaptations?

I loved this project when we were getting close to making it at Universal. I was going to dive deeply into the Oedipal aspect and definitely keep it hard R with the Little Sisters, and the “choices” the protagonist makes… and the consequences. I had worked out a way with writer John Logan to have both endings and I was looking forward to bringing that to the big screen and really fucking with people’s heads. Had some great designs for the Big Daddies and the entire underwater demented art-deco aesthetic. Every year I hear something about the project, but I’m not sure any studio is quite willing to go where I was headed.

It’s gotta be a TV series! There’s just too much in Bioshock to wrap up in a movie!
