BioShock Netflix Film Eyes 2027 Start as Francis Lawrence Wraps Hunger Games

Producers say work will resume once Francis Lawrence finishes post-production on the Hunger Games prequel, aiming to time the launch with new entries in the franchise.

Overview

  • Producer Roy Lee told Collider the adaptation remains active and is waiting on Lawrence, who is tied up in post-production through at least September 2026.
  • The team intends to begin production next year, though Lee cautioned that scheduling and other factors could still shift the timeline.
  • Netflix and Take-Two want the movie’s release to coincide with potential new BioShock game incarnations, reflecting a coordinated cross-media strategy.
  • The project has been reconfigured from an earlier big-budget vision to a smaller, more atmospheric approach to better serve the material.
  • No cast has been announced and story details are under wraps, though reports indicate the film is expected to adapt the first game with a screenplay from Michael Green.
