Prison Break: Wentworth Miller to 'Bioshock'?
Sure, Prison Break is over, and we all know what happened.  And sure, you've probably heard of this, but I'll tease anyway.  Wentworth Miller's long been rumored to appear in the flick Bioshock, the celluloid take on the video game that's supposed to get out by next year.  And then, it seems, a confirmation of sorts.

"Prison Break may be ending, but I've got things in the works," he wrote on his Twitter page.  "Hint... one word: Bioshock."

Does that mean... just that?


Bioshock is based on the video shooter game of the same name, which hit shelves in 2007.  The film is pretty similar to the video game's basic premise: a pilot survives a plane crash and finds himself inside an underwater city named Rapture.  As he goes his way through the city, he realizes--of course--that he isn't alone, and he isn't as free as he thought.  Yeah, I'll admit, I haven't played the game--I actually don't do much playing--but the game's received a lot of rave reviews when it was released.

Now, imagine Miller as that pilot going through Rapture.  Somehow fits, right?

The film, however, isn't in pretty steady waters.  The Gore Verbinski project, as I said earlier, was supposed to hit screens next year, but Universal Pictures delayed everything as the budget spiraled out of control.  Since then, the project's been silent, but with one tweet, it might as well be happening.  The only hope fans could have is an official announcement, but I'm guessing it wouldn't come within the foreseeable future--not, at least, until they get everything sorted out.

Or maybe he meant he's got the time to play the video game, now that Prison Break is over.  But, if it's true, at least it's nice to see Michael Scofield resurrected, crashing a plane, and finding himself underwater, sort of...
