The latest gossip for the newest Bioshock film which hasn't even started production has already been given a new director. Gore Vorbinski will be stepping down and only taking the reigns of Producer while Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will take the chair. The movie is being adapted by Universal Pictures and was put on hold back in April due to budget concerns.

With Juan Carlos at the helm now, you may remember him from the zombie film 28 Weeks Later. There is apparently a plan in place to reduce the budget with a rewritten script and looking for locations outside of the States.

“The bottom line is it has to shoot out of the States for budget reasons and my schedule may be prohibitive. There’s a great script and a really interesting cast. It really comes down to the financial model now. Big movies are just not being shot in the States. I’m weighing whether I can physically go the U.K. or Australia or one of those other places with a tax rebate for a year-and-a-half.”
