Status: Coffee makes me feel 4-percent sexier.
Crispy Gamer: Did the milieu of Boston influence Rapture or the game in any tangible way?
Levine: The truth is, I like living in Boston. But
BioShock is a New York game through and through. I grew up in New York. I remember going to Rockefeller Center as a kid and just loving that space.
Crispy Gamer: One final question: How much of a nightmare would it be to have Uwe Bolle direct the
BioShock movie? [Editor's note: Before you get your Fruit of the Looms in a bunch, there is no official word at this point on any sort of
BioShock movie.]
Levine: [Laughs] You see the stuff that Zack Snyder and Robert Rodriguez are doing with Frank Miller's material? Sam Raimi too, to some extent. I saw those Spider-Man movies. Man, there were 40 years worth of comics and themes up on that screen, and they were put up there with real love. What I'm saying is, there are indeed directors out there who are capable of taking offbeat source material and doing it right.
