Overview

  • Producer Roy Lee said the film is “definitely” based on the 2007 original, returning the story to Rapture.
  • Lee confirmed the script is still being worked on after additional writing prompted a recent delay.
  • Francis Lawrence remains attached to direct and will move to BioShock after The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, now filming in Spain for a November 2026 release.
  • Following a leadership change at Netflix, the project was scaled to a smaller, more personal film with a reduced budget.
  • Michael Green is credited on the current script, with some outlets reporting contributions from Justin Rhodes, and industry coverage suggests a possible 2026 shoot for a 2027 release, though no timeline is officially set.
