Efter megen spekulation, og naturligvis lukningen af Gore Verbinskis originale projekt, afslørede Netflix endelig at en Bioshock-filmatisering virkelig er på vej. Det er selveste Francis Lawrence der instruerer, der har udmærket sig som manden bag I Am Legend og The Hunger Game: Catching Fire.
Han er desuden ret glad for kildematerialet, lader det til, og lover at filmen kommer til at lægge sig ret tæt op af det Bioshock vi kender. I et interview med Collider siger han følgende:
"No, I do know what you mean. When I think about that, I go back to what we talked about earlier, which is I think that there's some great video games out there, but they don't always have the weight of actual ideas underneath them. Sometimes they have a great aesthetic or something like that, but I feel like often they end up feeling empty because they're not built from real ideas. The thing is, Bioshock really is. The whole mythology of that world and the ideas behind it all, there's just so much there."
Det vides ikke hvornår produktionen går i gang.
