Netflix’s movie chief at the moment, Scott Stuber, has since been changed by Dan Lin.

This implies the Bioshock movie’s finances has been diminished, with director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Starvation Video games: Catching Hearth) stating its been reworked as a “extra private movie”.
“The brand new regime has lowered the budgets,” Roy Lee stated. “So we’re doing a a lot smaller model. … It’s going to be a extra private viewpoint, versus a grander, large challenge.”
A partnership between Netflix, Bioshock writer Take-Two Interactive, and Vertigo Leisure is bringing the Bioshock movie to life. Along with Lawrence and Lee serving as director and producer, respectively, Michael Inexperienced (Loga, Blade Runner 2049, American Gods) was introduced as its author in August 2022.
