BioShock movie will be a ‘much smaller version’ than planned after Netflix ‘cut budget’

Netflix’s BioShock movie will be reworked into a “much smaller version,” according to one of its producers.

Speaking at the Producers on Producers panel at San Diego Comic-Con (H/T Variety), Roy Lee said, “The new regime has cut budgets. So we’re making a much smaller version. . . It will be a larger version of the point of view, as opposed to a larger, broader project. » 

Director Francis Lawrence will continue to lead the project, which was first announced in 2022. Logan and Blade Runner 2049 screenwriter Michael Green were originally slated to write the screenplay for the film, an adaptation of the 2007 video game in which players introduced Rapture’s doomed underwater utopia. , a city torn apart by greed and rebellious customs.

Last November, Lawrence told GamesRadar that he planned to introduce new beats so that those who experienced this twist would be left standing.

“Oh, they gave us some little new elements, yes,” Lawrence said at the time, adding, “I mean, the fact is, it’s the first game, so we’re very unwavering about a lot of things. “truth? So, we don’t break the barrel by any means, but we do have some little new twists that will surprise fans, but it all fits. We have a clever script, I’m excited about that. “

No date has been set for Netflix’s BioShock movie, one of several upcoming video game videos in the works, adding Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 and Minecraft.
