Netflix has announced that it is partnering with 2K and Take-Two Interactive and will brand a BioShock flick for the streaming platform. Details are currently scarce simply expect a picture show adaptation of the showtime-person shooter series BioShock to hitting Netflix at some bespeak.

Taking to Twitter, Netflix announced that it has partnered with both Take-Two Interactive and 2K to develop "a film adaptation of the renowned video game franchise BioShock." Other details surrounding the movie are thin on the footing. Nosotros do know, cheers to The Hollywood Reporter, that as of this writing no filmmaker or writer is involved in the project. All we know is that Vertigo Amusement and Take-Ii will be producing the motion-picture show for Netflix.

Previously, there were reports of Gore Verbinski being lined upward to direct/produce a film adaptation of BioShock, only this roughshod apart due to a variety of reasons including budget issues. Nosotros think if Netflix can get Guillermo Del Toro involved in whatever way, though, the streaming giant could be onto another gaming hit following the success of The Witcher. Only expect at The Shape of Water, those set designs, the casting…it screams BioShock.

While we look for farther news on the BioShock movie on Netflix, we accept BioShock 4 to await forward to, which we now know will not involve series creator Ken Levine. Permit'south hope whatsoever comes of the BioShock film that it will exist one of the few good game adaptations. The source material is certainly there.
