I wonder if Gore Verbinski will finally be able to direct his movie with this announcement.

A movie on Netflix is more ideal than a series because they can't cancel it after one season.

Will it have the balls to say that libertarianism is a garbage idea?

That would be cool but that ship has sailed, I suspect.

So bring some me to the “Who do you think should direct this?”  
 

Neil Blomkamp is usually who I think of for this type of film. Although Del Toro or Denis Villeneuve on this would be amazing as well. I just hope they find the right person for this project with that visual eye candy flare (not that type of flare J.J.)

Del Toro is definitely the most obvious choice. Second choices would be (and I'm swallowing my pride with this first one) Ryan Johnson, Ang Lee, Sam Raimi, or maybe even Sam Mendes.

[Kamusha]

James Wan would be a good choice as well.

Just bring back Gore Verbinski, as others have suggested. He's a fan of the actual game, and he fits the material.

In interviews Ken Levine said he turned down tons of Bioshock adaptation offers because nobody's vision for it felt on-point enough. One pitch was like, "Rapture is a neat setting and all, but does it have to be underwater?"

 

I reckon the fact that this is even getting made might indicate how positive a note things are starting on.

You wonder if the new tech used with The Mandalorian helped as well. Seems like the proper tech to be used to bring the immersive world to life. Sure green/blue screen too, but I like the real time like shading/lighting the newer tech could bring

Directed by Zack Snyder, in this version Andrew Ryan is right!

Another reason for some hype is the increased mass appeal and cultural relevancy video games have now compared to a decade ago, resulting in better adaptations (Detective Pikachu, the Castlevania anime, Arcane, etc). It's possible we're on the verge of seeing game adaptations as good as anything else in film and TV right now.

It looks like the Michael Green-penned, Francis Lawrence-directed film is still a go at Netflix for now. That's a good writer and a good director, so here's hoping. Not sure if Francis Lawrence gets to this or Constantine 2 first. Probably Constantine 2 first.

Hopefully the movie captures the agonizing choice the player had to make… either save a child’s life or kill them to get some ammo.

The real lesson of Bioshock: you can murder one kid, as treat.

I thought it was you can fire everyone after they succeed and sit around for years

In true Bioshock fashion they will fail to stick the landing.
