Now Playing: Everything We Want in a Bioshock Movie
Lawrence directed Constantine and I Am Legend, before directing the Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2. Lawrence is also signed on to direct the Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
The BioShock movie is likely still a long time off, as a report from Deadline said Lawrence won’t get to work on pre-production until after the Hunger Games prequel wraps.
Hollywood has been trying to make a BioShock movie for a long time. Years ago, Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski was signed on to make an R-rated BioShock movie with a $200 million budget. However, it never materialized.
A new BioShock game is currently in development at Cloud Chamber Studios, notably without the involvement of creator and writer Ken Levine.
