While a BioShock remake has yet to be announced, fans are looking forward to a film adaptation of the popular franchise.

Ordered by Netflix and helmed by Francis Lawrence, the man behind The Hunger Games movie adaptations, the live-action movie promises to be a worthwhile adventure, even if it’s going to be a while before we have the chance to see it.

The script is still in the drafting stage, indicating that it may be several years before the film graces our screens.
