The Boys star Jack Quaid has mentioned he’d love to seem in a BioShock film, saying the much-loved first-person shooter is one of his favourite video games of all time.
Speaking in a Reddit AMA timed to coincide with the launch of his new film, Novocaine, Quaid said BioShock has “such a rich lore” that may very well be explored in a TV or film adaptation.
"I would actually love to be in a live action adaptation of Bioshock – one of my favorite games of all time," he mentioned. "I think there's such a rich lore to that game that could be explored in a TV or movie adaptation."
But what are the probabilities the Bioshock film truly will get made? In July final 12 months, producer Roy Lee mentioned that, following management modifications, the video-game-to-movie BioShock adaptation had been “reconfigured,” resulting in a “more personal” film.
Lee mentioned some of the modifications got here from decrease budgets from Netflix. Details concerning the BioShock film’s plot haven’t been revealed, so it’s unclear what it could have regarded like earlier than the shift. Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence remains to be attached to direct.
“The new regime has lowered the budgets,” Lee mentioned on the time. “So we’re doing a much smaller version. It’s going to be a more personal point of view, as opposed to a grander, big project.”
Quaid’s feedback on BioShock come alongside an admission that he appears to be like a lot like video game action star Max Payne, whose likeness is predicated on Remedy author Sam Lake. Indeed, there are photographs from Quaid’s new action film Novocaine which have brought about followers to surprise if it’s a Max Payne film in disguise.

Alas, it appears Quaid is much less conversant in Max Payne, which is at present getting the remake therapy from Remedy in a deal with unique writer and rights holder Rockstar.
“I've seen people say that I look like Max Payne, and when I've looked at the box art, even I did a double-take," Quaid continued. "I love Rockstar's games, but unfortunately I've never played that one – it's next on the list, for sure.”
Apart from Bioshock, Quaid loves FromSoftware video games. In the identical Reddit AMA, Quaid mentioned he cherished the problem introduced by the likes of Bloodborne and Elden Ring.
“I'm a huge video game nerd,” he said. “And lately I've been diving headfirst into the FromSoftware library. I beat Bloodborne, then I beat Sekiro, and now I'm going full boar into Elden Ring. Actually, the thing I use Reddit the most for is tips and tricks on beating Fromsoft's bosses. I love how challenging the games are – it took me a while to get into them, but now I'm obsessed.”
