We had been without official news for a while, but the doubt has finally been cleared up. The long-awaited BioShock movie produced by Netflix will be directly inspired by the first game in the saga, the one that took us to the depths of Rapture for the first time. This has been confirmed by the project’s own screenwriter, and there are reasons to be excited.

Behind the script is Michael Green, known for his work on Blade Runner 2049, Logan, or American Gods. The writer has ensured that the team is already actively working on the movie and that their approach is based on the original material, without drastic reinterpretations or unnecessary reboots.

Netflix and 2K to adapt the original BioShock with Michael Green on script

The project was first announced in 2022, in collaboration between Netflix, Vertigo Entertainment, and 2K, with the goal of bringing one of the most impactful universes in modern video games to the screen. Since then, work has been done discreetly on its development, but the script is already very advanced and is in an active production phase.

Michael Green has commented that “the movie takes the first BioShock game as its basis, with everything that implies: the descent into Rapture, the struggle for survival, and that characteristic oppressive atmosphere”. Although no actors or specific release date have been revealed, this confirmation makes it clear that it will not be a modern reinterpretation or a strange sequel, but a faithful adaptation of the original BioShock released in 2007.

It is not confirmed whether we will see characters like Andrew Ryan or the Big Daddies on screen, but everything suggests that the approach will be as faithful as possible to the game. We will closely follow the next steps of the project, because this could be one of the most powerful adaptations in Netflix’s catalog in the coming years.
