"Universal Pictures has halted production on Gore Verbinski\u2019s film adaptation of BioShock due to budgetary constraints. According to Variety, shooting the film in Los Angeles would have cost Universal $160 million (\u00A3108 million), a bill it is unwilling to foot. Alternate locations around the UK are currently being sought so filming can commence. &amp;quot;We were asked by Universal to move the film outside the US to take advantage of a tax credit,&amp;quot; Verbinski said. &amp;quot;We are evaluating whether this is something we want to do. In the meantime, the film is in a holding pattern.&amp;quot; BioShock was originally released in 2007 for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3, shipping over 2 million copies in its first year. Its sequel, BioShock 2, will be released later this year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
