Francis Lawrence to direct movie adaptation of Bioshock

Director Francis Lawrence has been roped in to helm Netflix's upcoming adaptation of the popular video game, Bioshock. 

Netflix will bankroll this project with the video game holding company Take-Two Interactive and its game publisher subsidiary 2K.

Michael Green, who recently wrote The Jungle Cruise and Death On the Nile, will work on this project too. 

BioShock is a first-person shooter set in a crumbling underwater city named Rapture, its society fragmented in a civil war, with many inhabitants addicted to a genetic enhancement serum that gives them superhuman powers while also living in fear of Big Daddies, mutated humans who have been grafted into diving suits. Into this world is dropped the game's protagonist, Jack, a survivor of a mysterious plane crash in the Atlantic Ocean.

Lawrence, who is known for films like Constantine, I Am Legend, and the four Hunger Games films, is currently working on The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes, the prequel movie to The Hunger Games.
