Netflix’s Bioshock film adaptation could arrive in alignment with Bioshock 4
Following several failed attempts to get an adaptation off the ground, Netflix and 2K officially confirmed back in 2022 that a Bioshock film was in the works. Since then, we’ve heard relatively little from the project, only that it would be based on the narrative of the first game. Now however, we have finally gotten a long-awaited update.
In an interview with the publication Collider, the producer for Netflix’s Bioshock adaptation – Roy Lee – revealed that the project will finally soon be taking priority, stating:
“We would have gotten it made a few years back, but then other movies got in the way, with one being The Long Walk and the other being The Hunger Games prequel, which comes out this December. We're just waiting for [director Francis Lawrence] to finish post-production, because he's going to be working on it through at least September, and then jump back into it.”
Lee continued, “I know that Netflix and Take-Two are very anxious to see the movie come out because they want to have the release coincide with some of the potential new incarnations of the game.”
Lee’s last point is of particular note, as just like with the adaptation, 2K’s long-awaited Bioshock 4 game has also run into its own setbacks. Assuming things go to plan however, we could finally be getting both Bioshock 4 and the Netflix film within a similar time period.
That said, information on both projects remains light, and so it may still be a few more years of waiting.
