BioShock director Francis Lawrence promises that his upcoming movie adaptation will stay true to the video game's tone. Released in 2007, the first BioShock game earned acclaim for its unpredictable story, visual design, and complex themes. A movie adaptation had long been stuck in development hell, but it was officially announced earlier this year that the BioShock movie would release on Netflix with Lawrence added as director in August.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Collider, Lawrence discusses his working relationship with Netflix on the BioShock movie and how the dynamic allows him to honor the game's unique tone. While not divulging too many details about what audiences can expect from his BioShock adaptation, Lawrence reveals that he's been working closely with Take-Two Interactive, the game's publisher, and Ken Levine, the game's creative lead.
“There's always discussions about rating and tone. I don't want to get into it too much now because it's pretty early on in the process, but I certainly have not felt stifled in any way, or sent in any directions with Netflix. I mean, basically me and Cameron [MacConomy] who works with me, and Michael are getting to do what we want to do, which is great. A lot of it is staying really true to the game itself, and we're talking to Take-Two [Interactive] and Ken Levine.
Part of the reason BioShock remains so beloved is due to its tone and atmosphere. The game takes place almost entirely in a spooky underwater city, which is filled with threatening beings. BioShock's Big Daddies, for example, are spliced humans who have had their bodies fitted into giant mechanized diving suits with weapons built into one arm. Among these weapons is a large motorized drill which is used for some brutal and bloody kills.
Many questions remain about the upcoming BioShock movie, but Netflix certainly seems to be giving Lawrence and his partners total creative freedom. While Universal may not have been willing to take the risk on an R-rated, $200-million movie, Lawrence's comment suggests that fans may indeed get something close to that with his adaptation .
