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.
Umbrelic Entertainment has announced the upcoming horror movie The Possession at Gladstone Manor, which will be wrapping up production later this week.
The film’s cast includes Caylee Cowan (Hypnotic), Jesse Metcalf (John Tucker Must Die), Charlotte Kirk (The Reckoning), Darren Weiss (Inside Man), Barbara Crampton (You’re Next), William Mapother (Blackhat), and Lin Shaye (Insidious franchise).
In The Possession at Gladstone Manor, “When Jamie Black discovers her mother has gone missing, she resolves to investigate by applying for the same job her mother held at Gladstone Manor. Jamie soon finds evidence that her mother isn’t the only missing person, and that she may be dealing with sinister forces beyond this world.
“Desperate, she enlists the help of her brothers – Rupert and Chris – and Sam (Chris’ fiancée): all of whom are professional criminals and former marines. Once Jamie arrives at the house, she is immediately greeted by a mysterious and evil Nurse, and soon realizes the residents of Gladstone Manor are an enemy like no other, with a dark power she’s never faced. Trapped in the house, she must rely on her brothers and future sister-in-law to save her.”
Director K. Asher Levin (Dig) co-wrote the script with Danny Matier (The Unborn), from a story by Addam Bramich. Theresa Wayman from Warpaint is composing the score.
