Netflix ‘BioShock’ Writer Michael Green Says Adaptation Still Being Written, But “Optimistic” About the Project
With the recent rumours about the next BioShock game, you’re probably wondering just what’s going on with the upcoming Netflix film adaptation that’s being helmed by Francis Lawrence. With the writer’s strike now over, Blade Runner 2049 scripter Michael Green dropped in for an interview with Collider to talk about the film’s status.
While Green couldn’t reveal much (“You have to measure your words, or you’ll start to see a laser pointer at my forehead from the Netflix legal”), he very much confirmed that the project is back in motion after the strike. “Netflix has been amazing about it. They were excited about it before the strike, they’re excited about it now, post-strike.”
Green says that he’s been meeting regularly with Francis Lawrence and his team to refine the film’s draft, saying that the they’re “optimistic” about the adaptation. “It’s a great big sprawling nightmare world we wanna see real. So, here’s hoping. I would love to have an update for you soon.”
Last August, when the film was announced, Netflix and BioShock publisher Take-Two Interactive stated that they had plans to develop “a potential cinematic universe” based around the franchise, which hasn’t seen a new entry since 2013’s BioShock Infinite.
Currently, the fourth BioShock game is in development over at Cloud Chamber, which was initially revealed to be in development back in 2019.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
