In case you had forgotten, a BioShock movie is coming to Netflix. While the writers’ strike may have put the brakes on a trip down to Rapture, the project’s writer Michael Green has offered up a small, yet promising, update.

"Netflix has been amazing about it. They were excited about it before the strike, they're excited about it now, post-strike." Green told Collider. "Yes, I got called, the, 'How's it coming along?' the minute the strike was over, 'You about ready…?'"

Green also confirmed he’s been "meeting regularly" with director Francis Lawrence to help "refine" the next draft.

"We all love it. It's a great big sprawling nightmare world we wanna see real. So, here's hoping. I would love to have an update for you soon."

"We were eight weeks prior shooting when the plug was pulled,” Verbinski previously wrote back in 2017 during a Reddit Ask Me Anything session. “It's an R rated movie. I wanted to keep it R rated, I felt like that would be appropriate, and it's an expensive movie. It's a massive world we're creating and it's not a world we can simply go to locations to shoot."
