Ortega/Getty Images Producer Roy Lee revealed on Thursday that Netflix is still in development on a Bioshock movie and the project should move forward with The Hunger Games franchise’s Francis Lawrence directing, even if the pic winds up being a bit smaller in scope than originally envisioned. This was the era of film chief Scott Stuber, who announced his departure from Netflix in January, with Dan Lin eventually coming in to take over his role, shifting the streamer away from producing an abundance of huge tentpole projects, in favor of more modestly budgeted efforts.
