‘Bioshock’ Film Adaptation Still in the Works With Scaled Down Budget; It’s a ‘More Personal’ Movie, Says Producer Roy Lee
Netflix’s film adaptation of “Bioshock” with director Francis Lawrence is being “reconfigured” with a reduced budget, producer Roy Lee said at San Diego Comic-Con.
The first “Bioshock” game, released in 2007, is set in a vast underwater city called Rapture created in the desire to foster a utopia, but instead has fallen into chaos and violence. The game’s twist-filled narrative and vibrant philosophical worldview captured gamers imaginations; sequels followed in 2010 and 2013, and the series has sold more than 39 million copies worldwide. Lee also said that Netflix has shifted its compensation strategy to a more traditional model of bonuses tied to viewership numbers, rather than buyouts of prospective backend profits.
