Jack Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," has expressed his enthusiasm for a potential BioShock movie adaptation. In a Reddit AMA coinciding with the release of his new film, "Novocaine," Quaid shared that BioShock ranks among his favorite games, citing its "rich lore" as a perfect candidate for a TV or movie adaptation. "I would actually love to be in a live action adaptation of Bioshock - one of my favorite games of all time," he stated, emphasizing the depth of the game's narrative that could be explored on screen.
The likelihood of a BioShock movie coming to fruition remains uncertain. Producer Roy Lee mentioned last July that the project had undergone significant changes due to shifts in leadership and budget constraints from Netflix. The adaptation has been "reconfigured" to be a "more personal" film, according to Lee. Despite these adjustments, details about the plot remain under wraps, leaving fans curious about the direction it might take. Francis Lawrence, known for directing "The Hunger Games," remains attached to direct the project.
In the same AMA, Quaid acknowledged his striking resemblance to the video game character Max Payne, whose likeness is modeled after Remedy writer Sam Lake. This similarity has led fans to draw comparisons between Quaid's new action movie, "Novocaine," and the Max Payne series, especially given certain visual cues. However, Quaid admitted he is less familiar with Max Payne, having never played the game despite recognizing the resemblance. He plans to add it to his gaming list, expressing his admiration for Rockstar Games.
Beyond BioShock, Quaid revealed his passion for FromSoftware's challenging games. He has conquered titles like Bloodborne and Sekiro, and is currently tackling Elden Ring. "I'm a huge video game nerd," he confessed, highlighting his use of Reddit to gather tips and tricks for overcoming the tough bosses in FromSoftware's games. Quaid's love for these challenging games showcases his deep engagement with the gaming community and his appreciation for intricate game design.
