BioShock Director Says the Script Is Nearly Finished<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during a press tour for Sunrise on the Reaping<\/em>, Lawrence confirmed that work on the screenplay is progressing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still working on a script, and I think we\u2019re pretty close, and I\u2019m feeling really good about it,\u201d Lawrence explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The director also emphasized his enthusiasm for the project, revealing that he has been eager to bring BioShock to the screen for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the progress, Netflix has not announced a filming schedule, cast or release date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, producer Roy Lee expressed hopes that the movie could coincide with the release of an upcoming BioShock game, although no official plans have been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Happening With the Next BioShock Game?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The BioShock franchise has also experienced difficulties on the gaming side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2025, Rod Fergusson joined 2K to oversee the franchise<\/strong>, following reports that the next BioShock game had failed an internal review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the same period, reports suggested that a planned remake of the original BioShock had been shelved and that the development team had undergone significant layoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the next game’s future remains uncertain, Lawrence’s latest comments suggest that Netflix’s BioShock adaptation continues to move forward<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, fans will have to wait for an official production announcement.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
