Netflix’s BioShock movie has reportedly gotten a director and a writer, both of whom have worked on various big-budget franchises such as The Hunger Games and Marvel’s Logan. A BioShock movie has been one of Hollywood’s great gaming white whales given the meaty nature of its story, the rich setting of Rapture, and much more. A film adaptation almost happened in the early 2010s and some of the biggest actors out there such as Andrew Garfield and Ryan Gossling all reportedly contended for the role. The film would’ve been adapted by Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski, but it was scrapped due to budgetary concerns and the intended R-rating.
