Netflix has announced a partnership with Take-Two Interactive to produce aBioShockmovie. No writer or director is attached to the project, but it’s the latest in several attempts to turn the 2007 first-person shooter into a big budget movie.

Netflix may have the advantage over any of these previous attempts since they don’t necessarily need to worry about box office takings.
On the other hand, for all its strengths, BioShock still seems a difficult game to adapt to film. The way its story is told is interesting because you’re playing it, and its most interesting element is the setting of Rapture, which there will be little time to explore in a traditional two-hour action movie. I’d be more interested if this were a TV series rather than a one-off.
