BioShock movie producer Roy Lee has given a significant, promising update on the long-gestating Netflix adaptation.

Francis Lawrence is the latest name attached to direct the BioShock movie, and Lee confirmed to Collider that a handful of other projects have led to the Rapture-set feature being pushed back.

Since then, fears of the game's status – stuck in development limbo for almost a decade now – have only been quelled by Take-Two Interactive president Karl Slatoff's bold declaration during a financial results conference Q&A.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
