Netflix is making a ‘BioShock’ movie
It looks like Netflix is headed to Rapture. The company says it’s teaming up with 2K and Take-Two Interactive for a film adaptation of the BioShock series. No other details are available as yet, but based on the image Netflix shared in its announcement, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see it tackling the first game.
There’s a good chance that BioShock will translate well to the big screen (if Netflix does, in fact, opt for a theatrical release). The original 2007 game has a striking Art Deco/underwater setting and an unforgettable story. That’s not to mention great characters — though it remains to be seen whether the filmmakers can truly capture the terror of a Big Daddy charging toward you.
The movie isn’t the only BioShock project in the works. Cloud Chamber is working on the next installment, which will be the first full game in the series since 2013’s BioShock Infinite.
