Netflix and 2K first announced an adaptation of Bioshock way back in 2022, but now the movie's producer has spilled the tiniest amount of tea about what's going on with it. The good news? We're going back to Rapture.
It always seemed likely that the movie would take the first game as its starting point, but of course Irrational's parting gift to the series was to establish a structure that could handle any number of different stories with a few shared elements ("there's always a lighthouse" etcetera). Producer Roy Lee has now confirmed in an interview with The Direct that the first game is the inspiration:
"Netflix wants us to keep everything under wraps," says Lee, before pulling back the curtain the tiniest fraction. "But it's definitely going to be based on the first Bioshock game."
