Netflix will make a film adaptation 1st details

If the video game has often taken the cinema as a source of inspiration, it seems that the trend has been reversed lately. Between the release of Uncharted, the arrival of The Last of Us, the confirmation of Ghost of Tsushima and the rumors around Jak & Daxter, we realize that video games are of interest to film producers. On the Netflix side, it’s a certain BioShock that caught the eye of the showrunners who have just formalized an adaptation of the game imagined by Ken Levine. For now, apart from a tweet and the mention that “Netflix, 2K and Take-Two Interactive are teaming up to produce a film adaptation of the acclaimed BioShock video game franchise”, there is not much to put in your mouth. We don’t even know if it will be a feature film, a mini-series or a multi-season series.

If this Bioshock project by Netflix will see the light of day, you should know that this is not the first time that we have heard of a film adaptation. In 2008, just one year after the game’s release, Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango and Lone Ranger) already had plans to tackle this baroque and so mysterious universe of Rapture with the Big Daddy and the Little Sisters . Only problem, the 200 million dollars requested by the director who cooled the producers at the time, too cautious to know if such an adaptation would work at the box office, knowing that Gore Verbinski wanted a Rated-R film. in the United States, is prohibited for children under 17. Let’s hope that Netflix has a good vision of the project, because we know how bad it is, not to mention the bad reputation Netflix has when it comes to making adaptations…
