BioShock movie to be smaller than originally planned as Netflix cuts budget

At the recent "Producer to Producer" panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, Roy Lee revealed that due to Netflix's reduced budget, the "BioShock" movie will be smaller than originally planned.

"The new system has reduced the budget," Lee said. "So we're doing a much smaller version... It's going to be a more personal perspective rather than a grandiose big project."

The "BioShock" film project was originally announced in 2022. Michael Green, the screenwriter of "Logan" and "Blade Runner 2049", will be responsible for writing the film script, adapted from the first-person shooter game "BioShock" released in 2007. Francis Lawrence, the director of "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes", will continue to direct the project.

At present, the release date of Netflix's "BioShock" movie project has not yet been determined. According to previously revealed content, the movie version will adapt some new content, but will not destroy the original work in any way.
