Excited for the BioShock movie? You might want to sit down, as director Francis Lawrence’s schedule is busy

You might not remember it, but in early 2022, Netflix and 2K jointly announced the BioShock movie was back from the dead and in active development. Later that year, we learned that Francis Lawrence (of I Am Legend and The Hunger Games fame) would be directing. Now, that’s looking more and more unlikely.

Up until recently, Lawrence has been openly chatting about the project and what his hopes and goals for it are, yet we’re not convinced he’ll be the filmmaker to journey down to Rapture once we look at his increasingly packed schedule. We do hope that notable scribe Michael Green (Logan, Blade Runner 2049) stays on board though.

Via Deadline, we’ve learned that production on the long-in-development big-screen adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk has finally started shooting with Lawrence in the director’s chair.
