The upcoming BioShock film now has a director and screenwriter, Netflix has announced.
Netflix revealed that it was working on a live-action Bioshock film with 2K and Take-Two earlier this year, with the hope of making it a “potential cinematic universe”. Now, Netflix has revealed that it has brought in Francis Lawrence to direct, and Michael Green to write the script.
Lawrence is probably best known for his work on I Am Legend, as well as several films in the Hunger Games franchise. Meanwhile, Green has written scripts for Logan, Blade Runner 2049, and American Gods, and has worked on DC Comics as well.

I have but one, simple request; ignore Bioshock Infinite and embrace Bioshock 2 as the source material. It was more fulfilling, more thought out, and had a better plot on a more narrow scope that works better for a movie.
