A BioShock movie is happening now at Netflix, and it’s apparently planned to coincide with the release of a new version of the game. That’s according to producer Roy Lee, who said in an interview that Netflix and rights-owner Take-Two are “very anxious to see the movie come out” because the plan is for it to “coincide with some of the potential new incarnations of the game.”
Lee did not name any specific games outright, but Take-Two recently reiterated that the long-in-development BioShock 4 will see the light of day … some day. A remake of the original BioShock was reportedly in development, but was canceled in 2025.
As for the BioShock movie, Lee told Collider the plan was to make it “a few years back,” but director Francis Lawrence had a full plate with The Long Walk and The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. That movie is set for release this December. Lee said Lawrence will be in post-production on that movie until “at least September,” so it might still be some time before the BioShock movie gets made.
