"Producer Roy Lee said in a new interview that the movie is based on the first BioShock game. "Netflix wants us to keep everything under wraps," Lee told The Direct, before confirming that the film is "definitely" based on the 2007 original. The Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence is attached to direct the BioShock movie, and Lee confirmed it will be the director's next film after The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping."
"Also in the interview, Lee confirmed that the BioShock movie's script is "just being worked on right now." It was previously reported that Blade Runner 2049's Michael Green and Terminator: Dark Fate's Justin Rhodes contributed to versions of the script. Lee went on to say that one of the reasons why Lawrence's adaptation of Stephen King's The Long Walk--which releases on September 12--even happened at all was because the BioShock movie was delayed due to the need for more script work."
"Lee said in 2024 that the BioShock movie was scaled back to become a more "personal" film in the wake of the regime change at Netflix that reportedly sought quality over quantity and more manageable budgets. As for the BioShock game series, a remake of the first game was reportedly canceled. The next entry in the main series remains in development but recently suffered setbacks and layoffs at its developer."
Producer Roy Lee confirmed the Netflix BioShock film adapts the 2007 original and that Netflix is keeping details under wraps. Francis Lawrence is attached to direct, with the film planned as his next project after The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which is in production in Spain and due November 2026. The script is currently being worked on, with earlier contributions reportedly from Michael Green and Justin Rhodes. Lawrence delayed BioShock while making The Long Walk, and the project awaits his availability after the Hunger Games. Netflix scaled the film back to a more personal story amid a regime change favoring quality and smaller budgets. The BioShock games face a canceled remake and development setbacks on the next main entry.
