I don't know, "I am a legend" broke canon and destroyed the plot twist of the book which was the whole point of the story, and some of his other films are not very subtle .. fingers crossed. I would have prefered Guillermo del Toro on this to be honest,

I hope if they go with adding in stuff pre-fall that they take inspiration from the book- I’m not going to be upset if they don’t but it would be really nice since the book goes into some characters’ backstories in more detail.
For Booker and Elizabeth, I would really like to see them for a split second in the background just as a quick cameo but nothing more than that for the first movie.
Good news! Obviously the film can’t be Jack going from level to level completing the objective and defeating the boss, so whatever twists and turns they’re adding to make this into a movie and not a rehash of a video game whilst remaining canon to the original story gets a two thumbs up from me 👍👍
I would honestly love if they would make a Bioshock series instead of movie based on the book that would show the story of Rapture and Andrew Ryan before the game. Can't wait for the movie!
My question is WHICH canon Netflix follows. The first game had a lot if backstory and lore. BioShock 2 made some slight tweaks and additions but nothing too drastic. Burial at Sea COMPLETELY rewrote Rapture. The style was changed, the characters were made idiots so that Elizabeth can do everything, and so much of the canon was overhauled. I'm hoping they stick with the first two games and leave the Burial nonsense out.
Burial At Sea presented New Year's Eve 1958 as Rapture in its prime when that wasn't Rapture in its prime since citizens were already splicing heavily during that time and the riots happened on that same night.
I agree, this movie seems to be an adaption of the first game by the sounds of it but I still hope there's some nods and references to Bioshock 2's additions to lore
It sounds like good news, but we're a long way from things not changing. With such rich source material, my fear is that they will end up trying to include too many things and end up with a complicated, muddled mess of a story in the end. But I'm hopeful.
Bioshock could really be a series with all its content. Hopefully the film is just based off the first game and hopefully they give some backstory at the beginning of the film
5:03 imagine if they made a Bioshock story where they needlessly threw Elizabeth into the 1st game’s and made it undermine everything that happened in BS1
I hope its not just retelling the story of the game. The game's story could only be told through a game format. Not a movie or a book. Id prefer a new stand alone story set in the same universe as the games. Like what the Fallout TV show is doing
For their sake they should only include BS1, the Rapture book, & parts of BS2. They don't need to be trying to bring in Infinite's BaS clusterfuck into this.
@@BojackTrunks, I totally agree. Leave out everything to do with Bioshock: Infinite. By all means, Netflix can later on make a movie about Bioshock: Infinite, if they choose., but please don't mix Rapture and Columbia, and don't have any sort of crossover. I didn't like it in Bioshock: Infinite, and Burial at Seas, and I don't want it in an further media.
This all sounds good, i also agree on the sort of parameters and guidelines you specified for the creative part of the series, we definitely don't want anything that contradicts the canon story or adds some confusion like including anything from infinite, i think if they stay true to everything said in the article then the movie will be great, including some new additions might help bring some of the lore segments that are tied to audio logs or the Bioshock rapture book into life in a visual representation, great coverage as usual!
I’d be in heaven if Garry Schyman scored the soundtrack and the voice actress for Tenenbaum played her. Obviously won’t happen but she was my favourite character- no one will ever do her justice for me
@@stewart335 I know that's why I said it. I meant that he should score the movie but still use the music he'd written for the game. The guy's a genius. Choen's masterpiece, the ocean on his shoulders... this guy is insane
With the recent game adaptations that have come out adding amd changing things and it not really affecting how well recieved they were, i dont think them adding bits or changing things necesarily means bad idea, but who knows. I might have to come back to this comment once it actually comes out
@@TheBioshockHub Us maybe seeing Andrew try his best to save Rapture the audience being kinda on his side and we see Jack as like almost a villain. 😅 Would be interesting
By the time we see Andrew Ryan in Rapture, he was not at all a good person, but I think maybe he was a better person before that. Certainly he was never a humanitarian, or generous with his own property, but I think his later very intolerant attitude of "You are either for or against me, no one is innocent" (or whatever his exact words were to Dianne) was a result of all the pressures and frustrations cause by the problems in Rapture. In this movie, it would be interesting to see how the troubles in Rapture changed him for the worse. We'd see him as the the ruthless business man who, fearing a possible nuclear war (since the USA had just dropped the two atomic bombs on Japan), and wishing to escape the control and (to him, unreasonable) demands and taxes forced upon him by the governments of the world, he comes up wth the idea of a city under the sea, where quality and enterprise were rewarded above all else, where everyone was free to do as they chose. We would see him as a hard as nails man, but still capable of some compassion and (though utterly unswerving in his views and actions), and though the movie we'd see how the problems in Rapture (such as the smugglers in Rapture who create a risk of the topside world learning about Rapture, Atlas/Fontain's crimes and actions, the endless parade of people complaining to Ryan about their own problems and frustrations with the way Rapture is run, the problems caused to Rapture's own physical structures (which would then endanger human life and parts of the city) b y careless or even deliberately harmful actions of some stupid/insane/suicidal citizens), and so on. We would see Ryan change from a strict, but not unnecessarily cruel ruler, to someone who comes almost to regard everyone in Rapture as being his own personal property, and that he has the right to judge who should live and who should die. Done properly, that would be a fantastic story. I do wish, though, that they were making a TV series rather than a movie. That way, there would be much more time for them to pack in much more story and characterization.
Elizabeth will be in the movie 100% guaranteed, but not Columbia or Booker, because nobody cares about Booker, not even Infinite fans. And thanks to BAS that's not even breaking "canon". Also, there are not many good movies out there that are 95% faithful to the original source. Be careful what you wish for. The movie will take place in pre-/civil war times. We start off in an intact beautiful Rapture, Elizabeth appears and gets killed by Atlas half way through and it ends with Jack vs. Ryan. Because "A man chooses, a slave obeys." is too iconic not to end with. No happy end.
BAS literally broke the canon lol. I agree that no BioShock fan gives a damn about Booker Dewitt one of the most boring protagonists ever made. Jack and Subject Delta who are silent protagonists have more depth and personality than him.
@@Mandalore_ultimate I find both of your guy's statement very interesting, but I have to disagree with the idea that nobody cares or hates Booker DeWitt. As a long time, hard-core Bioshock Infinite fan who has spent over 1,000 dollars on BI merchandise, but I also cosplayed as Booker at two comic cons. I like Booker and also Elizabeth. Something tells me that Elizabeth is not going to be featured anywhere in the movie for the sole reason that they had been working on the movie way before Burial at Sea was ever released but at this point who really knows until the movie is finally released.
@@bananajoe5523 The movie idea is older than BAS, true, but they can't pass on having a strong female character in the movie. With Elizabeth a lot more people will watch the movie than without her. Just look at what fan art still gets made the most. Elizabeth is still quite popular even 10 years later.
@@Mandalore_ultimate Canon is what is in the games, wether you like it or not. But I get why die hard original Bioshock fans don't like Liz/Infinite/BAS so much because it is basically a different thing. However Infinte brought Bioshock to a much broader audience and Liz is still the most popular character from the franchies. If you ask random people about Bioshock, they know Big Daddies, Little Sisters and Elizabeth. And besides that, it is totally en vogue to have strong female leads in movies today. I don't want that either, but a movie without Elizabeth at all wont be a success.
Frank Fontaine/Atlas: RDJ Andrew Ryan:Sean Penn or Viggo Mortensen Bridget Tenenbaum: Winona Ryder Sophia Lamb: Sarah Paulson Yi Suchong: Ke Huy Quan J.S. Steinman: Guy Pearce Sander Cohen: Ben Kingsley Jasmine Jolene: January Jones
I love to see rapture in its heyday and build up to the war like in the book with bill and such then the plot of the game the only thing I fear is giving jack a voice
I love all this, i mean the burial at sea did have some early Pre war stuff at the beginning, So if they did that approach with the civil war with Atlas and Ryan. I'm totallly happy with that.
This movie will be trash. "We're not breaking canon" Yeah right, with infinite the "canon" is already ruined with plot holes and now we have the director having worked on the trash that was the hunger games movies now on the team. Movie will be like every other piece of Netflix trash that's been pushed out, it'll need no brains to follow and the entire story will be trash painted with an "I'm smart" coating so the brain dead masses feel good about themselves when finally see something that was shoved in their face during the first five minutes that they missed the first fifteen times they watched it along with nothing but the fakest drama that only a person with the mentality of a thirteen year old rich girl would find fascinating.
If the director wants immediate immersion and shock for the audience, the opening would be a cut scene where a splicer is chasing one of the Little Sisters thru a pavilion. She screams as he catches he latches her arm at the base of the stairs with a slight pause only to hear the THUD of the Big Daddy foot step. SILENCE. Pan to the splicer to show the panic in his disfigured face, desperate to cover her mouth she screams again and the THUD becomes rhythmic and louder. The Splicers breathing races as he pans around looking for the Big Daddy then as they do a face shot off the splicer, low angle to hi, the Big Daddy is behind the splice at the top of the stairs off to the right behind his head. Slight pause as a clear shot of the Big Daddy to illustrate his lumbering size. The camera works around pans downward from above and behind BD to show a longview of the stairs as the splicer lets the Little Sister go but speed belying his the immense size, the Big Daddy is almost on him. Knowing there is no chance of escape attempts to defend himself with a revolver but with too few bullets. Big Daddy swings his arm, catching the splicer as he flies into the wall. The camera reverts to the splicers POV with dazed double vision. The camera clears as he is caught to his throat and is being raised of the floor then it begins, the ROAR of the DRILL. From a side view the BD revs the drill and in one simple thrust, begins to mechanically disembowel the splicer as the the drill progresses to spine, effectively cutting the splicer in two. Fade to Black as the BioShock theme begins and the movie title comes on the screen.
So Rapture Family, do you think this is good news for the Bioshock Movie? Let me know!
I couldn't agree any more that Elizabeth shouldn't be shoehorned into Bioshock 1+2. I want Jack to be the main protagonist!
The news is good . I think that it will be great if the movie was recorded in first person like the movie hardcore henry
I don't know, "I am a legend" broke canon and destroyed the plot twist of the book which was the whole point of the story, and some of his other films are not very subtle .. fingers crossed. I would have prefered Guillermo del Toro on this to be honest,
Things you'll NEVER hear fans say: "Golly, the Bioshock film needs Kathleen Kennedy!"
Don’t worry Cartman, Kathleen Kennedy isn’t under your bed!
- And this, Mrs Kennedy, is "Big Daddy". He's a very important part of-
- Make him a chick who is also gay.
- Wh.. what? But Mrs Kennedy the fans would never-
- MAKE. HIM. A CHICK. WHO IS ALSO. *GAY* !!!!!
This will be trash stop lying too yourselves
Whille reading Kennedys last sentense slame your hands for each pause @@Wojtek_Ch

I’m just happy that there is bioshock news again
It will be kinda surreal to actually see a BioShock film come to fruition!
Shouldn't be too much longer... hopefully.
I'll fruition you
Good news! Obviously the film can’t be Jack going from level to level completing the objective and defeating the boss, so whatever twists and turns they’re adding to make this into a movie and not a rehash of a video game whilst remaining canon to the original story gets a two thumbs up from me 👍👍

Sincerely hope and pray that they actually read the prequel book, Bioshock: Rapture.

I love hearing that this is real and everything but I can't believe a bioshock movie will happen till I see it
Can't wait for the release date
I hope its not just retelling the story of the game. The game's story could only be told through a game format. Not a movie or a book. Id prefer a new stand alone story set in the same universe as the games. Like what the Fallout TV show is doing
Great news! My ideal casting for Sander Cohen is Ben Kingsley. His face is quite similar and he could certainly pull it off!
I can definitely see this! I hope Sander Cohen has a decent part in the film
The dude who played the joker would be great as him
It’s going to be hard to fit this in the timeline with bioshock 1 bioshock 2(multiplayer and den) and bioshock infinite(burial at sea episode 1 and 2)
For their sake they should only include BS1, the Rapture book, & parts of BS2. They don't need to be trying to bring in Infinite's BaS clusterfuck into this.

I wonder if the movie will refernce bioshick 2 and 3
Do WE know anything about the release date?
Just take Metropolis and set it in Rapture.
stoked!!!!!!!
love this and i hope they are 90% faithful to the game canon and story and that we get a 3 hr rated R movie or 2 or 3 part movie
I just hope the director stays true to their word.
I hope they make the scene where dr.suchong get killed by the big daddy.
Always loved how losing his cool with little sister is his downfall after he created the big daddy to be the protector. Poetic Justice
Please don't be done poorly 🙏 , i hope this will be amazing
Fresh Bioshock News !!!
( ...I came running! )
I'm skeptical with them saying they're keeping to canon, because fans of anything have been lied to before.
As long as Subject Delta is SOMEWHERE I’m happy.
Francis Lawrence did not direct the original Hunger Games film, just the sequels.
I think sander cohen should definitely have a chapter in the film. The whole fort frolic art/ game part of the bioshock was perfect
Definitely don’t want to see them change the canon, but it would be cool to put references in for BioShock 2!
When you say ‘would you kindly hit that like button?’ I can never resist.
I wonder if Netflix and 2k is trying to sync these up so the movie release then the game comes after or somthing ?
The real question is who is going to play Brigid Tenenbaum
Im so exited to see a Big Daddy on the big picture, i hope they keep the original designs or at least make new ones that would fit right in
I think the film could be good and it will hopefully give them time to develop the game.
