BioShock Movie Director Francis Lawrence Explains Why It's Taken Hollywood So Long to Adapt the Game

We got the chance to sit down with Francis Lawrence, the director of Netflix’s BioShock movie, who gave us some of the gritty details as to why this adaptation has taken so long to make. The BioShock movie is a project that’s been floating in limbo for more than a decade. The film initially had Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) attached to direct, but it fell through. But it was a $200 million movie, and he wanted a very specific person in it that was not a star, and it was R-rated.
