Released in 20 respectively, the first two Bioshock games take place in Rapture, a dystopian city located deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Obviously, the project never became a reality and instead languished in development hell for the last 14 years or so. However, the partnership between the streamer and its co-producers has reportedly "been in the works for almost a year." Plans for a Bioshock movie go back over a decade to 2008 when Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski was in talks to helm an adaptation from veteran James Bond screenwriter, John Logan. Per The Hollywood Reporter, development has only just begun and no writer or director is attached yet.

Netflix announced Tuesday that it will take the icy plunge down to the ghostly underwater city of Rapture via an upcoming movie project co-produced by 2K (a subsidiary of Take-Two Entertainment) and Vertigo Entertainment. Break out the ADAM, everyone! Hollywood is once again trying its hand at a big-budget film adaptation of 2K's best-selling BioShock video game franchise.
