Universal Pictures bought Bekmambetov's reimagining of Herman Melville's classic last fall, and the director promised an action-packed update in keeping with his previous films. But in a recent interview with MTV, Bekmambetov revealed a supernatural component to his plan:

The concept is if we're talking about a creature with supernatural abilities, Moby Dick, then every whaler will have supernatural abilities, too. Something. They can fly. I don't know, they can bend bullets, whatever.

Jokes about bending harpoons aside, I'm curious as to what superpowers we'll see from Bekmambetov's vengeful whale hunters. Elemental control? The ability to command an army of sharks? A harpoon-launching mechanical arm? Shapeshifting into a killer whale? Bekmambetov certainly has a knack for portraying odd mystical abilities, and, after watching him deliver his special brand of visual lunacy to more urban settings in Night Watch, Day Watch, and Wanted, it'll be exciting to see Bekmambetov bring the action to the high seas.

Artist Ben Mauro put these images up on his blog as a "proposed sequel to BioShock," but it turns out that they were pieces for a class project where they had to design a sequel to a film or a movie that they chose. However, it didn't stop them from racing around the nets as official confirmation of a sequel. However, that doesn't make his artwork any less pretty to look at. While the other images are all mass-transity, that whale stands out as very cool, and intriguing.

BioShock brought a gorgeous world of 1930s era extravagance and decay to gaming consoles around the world last year, and the critical acclaim and financial success will probably launch a sequel, although nothing has been announced so far. However, developer Take-Two has referred to the game as a franchise, and they've opened a new development house which is rumored to be solely working on BioShock, so you can be sure there will be another one. In fact, if you own an Xbox 360 or a PC that you can game on, and you haven't done so, give this game a whirl. We'll try and keep it spoiler-free, but when you finish the game you can understand the need for a lot of brand-new concept art.
