Jack Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," recently expressed his enthusiasm for potentially starring in a BioShock movie during a Reddit AMA. The actor, who is currently promoting his new film "Novocaine," highlighted BioShock as one of his all-time favorite games, citing its "rich lore" as a perfect candidate for adaptation into a film or TV series. Quaid's interest in the project aligns with the game's established fanbase, which could be a significant draw for any adaptation.
The possibility of a BioShock movie has been a topic of discussion for some time. Producer Roy Lee mentioned last July that the project had undergone changes following leadership shifts at Netflix, resulting in a more "personal" approach to the film due to budget constraints. Despite these adjustments, details about the plot remain under wraps, and Francis Lawrence, known for directing "The Hunger Games," is still attached to direct. This shift towards a more intimate storytelling style could offer a fresh perspective on the BioShock universe, potentially appealing to both fans and newcomers.
Interestingly, Quaid's resemblance to the video game character Max Payne has not gone unnoticed by fans, especially given the striking similarities between Quaid's appearance in "Novocaine" and the iconic look of Max Payne. While Quaid admitted to looking like the character, he confessed to being less familiar with the Max Payne series, which is currently undergoing a remake by Remedy in collaboration with Rockstar. Quaid's gaming interests extend beyond BioShock, as he also expressed a deep appreciation for FromSoftware's challenging titles like Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring, showcasing his dedication to mastering these games.
