Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has emerged as the leading candidate to helm Universal's BioShock movie.

According to Variety, the 28 Weeks Later filmmaker is in talks to replace Gore Verbinski in the director's chair for the video game adaptation.

Verbinski, who dropped out of helming due to his commitment to animated movie Rango, remains on board as a producer.

John Logan (Gladiator) penned the script for BioShock, which involves a struggle for power in the underwater city of Rapture.
