How would you do it?
Is it unfilmable?

The setting can work, the story as is cannot. It relies too much on it being a game to transition well. Focus on a new character witnessing the fall of Rapture and their eventual need to try escaping it. Tackle the same themes but in new ways.
A stage play could be interesting.
Maybe have the story of the film be similar to the one from the game, but fill it with flashback scenes to give a better idea of what Rapture was like before the downfall.
This. Something about the setting, but not the literal game itself.
I'd do it a TV series, with season 1 mostly before the civil war showing the society and the tensions arising from busting Fontaine. Season 2 can be the civil war.
Other season fodder;
>Before the city is built, showing Ryan getting to that point mentally, the logistics of the city being built, and the vanishing on the surface
>Interim years between the events of game 1 & 2
>Something in the Sea story
I have no idea how films are made so I don't know.
Literally just Mad Men, but underwater in Rapture, with the businesses there.
> Kino confirmed
Literally just Breaking bad, but underwater in Rapture, with ADAM.
An anthology series set in Rapture would be based as fuck

Showing the different areas/aspects of life from the city? Yeah that would be great. 1-2 episode about a fisherman, 1-2 episode about a business secretary, etc.
Sweaty invalids babbling about objectivism and splicing up while nervously looking 'outside'
The guy that played the Comedian in watchmen I think could do a good job, if he made his voice to sound more old-timey and pompous like Ryan.
>On that note, who would you have play Ryan, Yea Forums?
Honestly, Christoph Waltz. Not for his appearance, but his performance as Landa in Inglorious Basterds makes me thing he'd pull off Ryan's imperious charisma well.

Don't think he could do it without the accent though.
Which actor today is most similar to Vincent Price? That's who I'd cast.
What would the education system in Rapture look like? Were there children in rapture, like school kids?
Burial at Sea kind of showed it, with an educational daycare center. For the most part it seemed to be a lot of indoctrination towards the ideals of the city.
Though by all accounts you would imagine the schooling in Rapture to be fantastic, because one they have some of the smartest minds in the world, and two the population of the city is not that huge so you'd have small class sizes to good teachers.
There were, Bioshock 2 had a few audiologs about a teacher and her group of students getting trapped in the amusement park during the beginning of the civil war.
Yeah. In 1 as you approach his office Ryan gives this over the radio
>Rapture is coming back to life. Even now, can't you hear the breath returning to her lung? The shops reopening, the schools humming with the thoughts of young minds? My city will live. My city will thrive. And, when that day comes, we'll use your tombstone for paving tiles.
Burial at Sea was pretty retcon-ish in terms of making the cast of 1 caricatures of their original incarnations.
But there was this whole segment with his indoctrination center.
I like that facility was in Fontaine's place. Like they're bitter rivals, but the guy still knows who people look up to and capitalizes on that.
