The script for the BioShock movie is currently being written, with Vertigo Entertainment producer Roy Lee confirming the film adaptation will be based on the first game. In an interview with The Direct, published on September 9, 2025, Lee told the publication that the BioShock film is "definitely going to be based on the first BioShock game." BioShock’s script is currently being penned by Logan and Blade Runner 2049 writer Michael Green. "And so it's just waiting for him whenever The Hunger Games is completed, and the script is just being worked on right now," Lee continued. During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Lee explained the BioShock project was being "reconfigured" following a change in leadership at the streaming firm.
