Netflix is partnering with video game holding company Take-Two Interactive and its game publisher subsidiary, 2K, to produce a film based on their renowned video game franchise, BioShock.
Set across multiple dystopian and visionary landscapes gone wrong, the BioShock video game series has blended sci-fi and horror to pose unique existential and societal questions reshaping how game stories are told—all amidst pulse-pounding action gameplay that rewards sharp shooting, clever planning and lethal improvisation. The critically-acclaimed, award-winning franchise first introduced by 2K in 2007 has sold more than 39 million copies worldwide, across the original releases of titles including BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite, as well as multiple re-releases, remastered editions and bundled collections. Another installment in the first-person shooter franchise, widely recognized as one of the most celebrated and beloved in all of gaming, is currently in development at Cloud Chamber.
Over the years, multiple attempts at adapting the franchise for film have been made, all at Universal. Gore Verbinski signed on to direct a BioShock film, from a script by John Logan, in 2008, but that project was shelved due to budget concerns, with Verbinski later in talks to produce an adaptation from director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. That iteration was likewise canceled in 2013, when the filmmakers failed to reach an agreement with the studio with regard to the film’s budget and intended rating.
2K will produce the upcoming adaptation with Roy Lee and Doug Davison’s Vertigo Entertainment.

Not since Abbott and Costello in Buck Privates in 1941 and Lewis and Martin in At War With the Army in 1950 has a film raised greater concern about who they’re letting into the military these days than does Dog. Although he certainly possesses the requisite physique, Channing Tatum’s Army Ranger Briggs most of the time seems like such a screw-up that you’d definitely want him on the other guy’s team. The power of this Dog lies in its half-canine/half-human buddy comedy, which is genial enough, even if its aim is scatter-shot and its comic tone decidedly hit-and-miss.
