Netflix has revealed the names of the director and writer who will be making BioShock ‘s screenplay . Francis Lawrence will be behind the camera, while Michael Green will write the story. According to current reports, work on the scenario should be completed next year at the latest. Thanks to this, as soon as Lawrence finishes work on his current project, he will be able to immediately start a movie for the streaming service.
Both men have a lot of experience with high-budget productions. Francis Lawrence is primarily known for his work on the Hunger Games film series . His latest film, which will hit theaters next year, is a prequel to the series so far starring Jennifer Lawrence. In addition, the director’s achievements also include Constantine with Keanu Reeves and I’m a Legend with Will Smith. In turn, some of the most famous titles that Green has worked on are Alien: Alliance , Blade Runner 2049 and Logan: Wolverine.. For the last of these productions, he was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Adapted Screenplay category, along with James Mangold and Scott Frank.
For now, the movie based on BioShock remains one big mystery. It is not known whether the plot from one of the games will be transferred to the silver screen directly, or whether the creators will decide on a new original story. The time and place of the action are also unknown. Over the course of three games, players had the opportunity to visit two impressive retro-futuristic metropolises – the underwater Rapture and the flying Columbia. Most fans would probably prefer to see the more iconic city built at the bottom of the Atlantic and the Big Daddy traversing it.
